• Toys and Documentaries

    Not really new, as we’ve had them more than a month, but new to the world. We finally threw an HD screen in the family room. We went with a 37″ LG LCD that I picked out and purchased while drunk one night. I’m a total Samsung whore, so I had some remorse the following morning, but I’ll live with it. Some people get…

  • Galled

    Just a few hours ago, I received a call from my mom, who had her gallbladder removed this morning. Since then [and a whole lot, recently], I thought about all the wonderful ailments I get to look forward to as I grow old: I am the only one in my immediate family with a gallbladder.

Their fitter was great and I’m all set (once a new handlebar comes in). The bike feels really nice…

  • You Lose!

    My Mom, being an Eagles fan, thinking she’s hilarious, forwarded me one of those typical “your football team stinks.” My responses, which are new material, and actually hilarious, are in-line:   HEADLINE: “D.C. Police are “cracking” down on speeders. For the first offense, they give you two Redskins tickets. (If you get stopped a second time, they give you two Nationals tickets.)” Q. What…
