Thursday, May 8, 2003Anyone have an ark handy?This has just been one of those days - everything that could flood on me, did flood on me today, which is why I haven't been doing my average number of blogs around here. I'm taking a break right now to allow things to dry out at least a little (glub, glub), then I'll get back to work drying out the...

I had first read of this investigation in - of all places - Readers' Digest, many years ago. It took years of backbreaking investigation and undercover work to...

So says Weird Al Yankovic in one of his famous parody songs. I was just wondering how many of you remember this and other famous products - like the Buttoneer or anything else (other than the rotisserie oven) made by Mr. Popeil. Or,...

That's because insurance often does not pay for plastic surgery, in the belief that it's just something one does to oneself to look...

It stars Alec Baldwin as a corrupt Mafia henchman assigned to Demi Moore, a prospective juror who gets assigned to the trial of one of Baldwin's Mafioso supervisors. Baldwin has been given the task of tampering with Moore, who is believed to be the...

Just something I remember from an Allan Sherman song years ago - we used to have all his albums (and he made several of them). He's the guy that sang Hello Muddah Hello Fadduh (about a youngster who finds himself hating camp - until it stops raining and they start...

I'm becoming more nostalgic by the minute for what used to be one of my favorite shows on cable. It used to be on every night at 9 PM Central time, on Animal Planet. Frankly, with the amount of overt trauma they have on that show, it... Sign in to see full entry.posted by kidnykid at 8:02 PM Comments (0) (link) Well, there goes one hour of my timeOh, well. I feel as if I just wasted one hour of my valuable time - time I could have spent wisely, doing what I really love, writing here and in other areas. I signed myself up for a course through WritersWeekly.com, in which I (and an unknown number of classmates) have chosen to write an...

Quite frankly, I prefer nowadays, for the following reasons: 1. Modern medical care - more options are available in the doctor's office nowadays. 2. I don't have to be stuck getting along with my neighbors. I can get the same type of...

(I reviewed the book of the same name yesterday in this blog - look for the post, even if you have to flip through a couple of pages to do it.) It's called idea tithing - taking about ten...
