Regarding Those Hurricanes
I've been pretty quiet about the hurricanes that struck the gulf coast. Hell, I've been pretty quiet in general.
How Not To Be A Criminal
With gas prices the way they are these days, it's understandable that some people might want to acquire their supply in a less than legal manner, like siphoning from a gas station's supply. However, if you're going to do that, it is advisable that you don't fall asleep during the process.
You Won't Catch Me Sucking On A Fisherman's Friend
Not that there's anything wrong with that. I'm just not a big fan of candy.
Live Here, Play Ride 'Em Cowgirl
From the ad copy for Herald Towers condos in New York: "Go ahead. Be as loud as you want."
It's All About The Timing
How is it that the only day of the year a boy will fall off the monkey bars and land on his face is the day before school pictures are to be taken?

Feature Request
Since moving to a new city, I've been using Mapquest quite a bit to plot out how to get where I'm going, and it usually does a pretty good job.

1, 2, Freddy's Coming For You
So I was watching A Nightmare On Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors the other night, and...what's that? You want to know why I was watching it?
Now THAT Was Funny
I just got back from seeing The Aristocrats. Man, did I laugh my ass off. It's a documentary about a joke whose punch line is "The Aristocrats".
More Hurricane Relief
In the wake of hurricane Katrina,, Planned Parenthood is donating free morning after pills.
Why Yes, I'd Love A Dance
It could be rather unhealthy for you to refuse a lap dance these days. Just ask Melik Jordan of San Diego.
The Joys Of High Definition
I finally got around to getting some high definition programming for my unnecessarily large television. As Dax might say, Just Damn! I'm finding that I'll watch stuff I probably wouldn't if it wasn't in hi def, just because the picture looks so damned good.
Never Roam Alone
I met one of my new neighbors the other day. I have noticed that he leaves his lights on pretty much all night long all over his house. After meeting him, that seems quite odd, considering he's completely blind.
