Spellcheck Yourself Before You Wreck Yourself

I didn't write this, but I thought it was clever. Found it in my travels on the web, and figured somebody might get a kick out of it. 'Spell Checker Blues' Eye halve a spelling chequer It came with my pea sea It plainly marques four my revue Miss steaks eye kin knot sea. Eye strike a key and type a... Sign in to see full entry.

No False Eye-Dolls, Barbie Ban

Barbie got banned in Iran. It was just a matter of time, really. I'm surprised she lasted this long. How many decapitated Barbie dolls have you seen in your lifetime? And this is America; decapitations happen here far less frequently. We have the decency to give a heads up first. They didn't say... Sign in to see full entry.

Sniffing Her Seat - Chivalry Gone Too Far?

First, let me state for the record: Dear Record, I love Australia and all of your unorthodox outback ways. Aussies are awesome and this can't be contested or denied. This post I'm about to post is neither a rump nor a rump roast of what's up Down Under; it's more like jealousy on my part, because I... Sign in to see full entry.

Myth Busted After Some Detective Work

It's a little-known fact that Sherlock Holmes's real last name wasn't Holmes, it was DeKeezendikarr. The misunderstanding came from Sherlock's sidekick, Dr. John Watson, who's name was also changed in order to hide his ethnicity. He was actually Juan Willy Alejandro Tavares Santos Osvaldo Nemesio.... Sign in to see full entry.

Pet Issues

My goldfish had an asthma attack today. You should have seen his little eyes bulging in and out. I tried to give him mouth-to-mouth, but I accidentally swallowed him. I put my finger down my throat, so he would have some company, and then he came back out. He started breakdancing on the floor. It... Sign in to see full entry.

I Get By with a Little Help from John Lennon

Imagine there's no Heaven. It's easy if you try. Yeah, let's say that there's no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Let's say that the light at the end of the tunnel turns out only to be you. Boy, are we going to feel screwed, aren't we? I mean, all the pleasure we denied ourselves, mostly... Sign in to see full entry.

No Orphans Were Harmed in the Making of This Post

I can't think of anything to write about today. So I'm going to write tomorrow's post today posthaste. I figure why postpone? That's a rhetoric question. Has anybody been watching HBO's "John Adams" the miniseries? It just ended last Sunday, but I was watching my Celtics kick hindquarters in the NBA... Sign in to see full entry.

Pimp Gimp

We now take you into the life of Dan Silver, a.k.a. "The Pimp Gimp". His home is rather lavish, with the velvet portrait of a nude Willie Nelson and ceramic sculptures of giant hands posed in obscene gestures. The shag carpeting on the ceilings really adds a unique touch. Quite different from the... Sign in to see full entry.

Which Part of "My Life" Don't You Understand?

I don't endorse suicide; in fact, I believe you'll live to regret it if you do such a thing. Howethever, a government simply not allowing someone to punch their own clock or even taking great measures to clock-block is unacceptable. Suicide is the harshest form of self-criticism. But what...
