it’s a horse!

Steph works at a horse hospital where she’s basically an equine surgical assistant or, as Brian says, an “equinarian”. I came across this the other day, courtesy of GraphJam, and thought it was hilarious. I can just imagine Steph and her boss posting this in their treatment area and begin diagnosing cases based on this [ READ MORE ]

the neked people

No one is really sure why “The Naked People” statue came to the Music Row roundabout a few years ago. I’m sure our reaction was similar to the one I’m about to describe below when it was first unveiled, but the locals have come to just accept / ignore it’s existence and get on with [ READ MORE ]

i forgot to title this post

You know those annoying blog posts where people say, “Gosh, I sure haven’t posted in a while” and then say, “I’m really sorry it’s been so long since I’ve written”. Yeah, this is one of those. So let’s get beyond all that and just dive right in. What should I write about? I could make [ READ MORE ]

two disturbing discoveries and one unsettling experience

I came across two disturbing news stories today and one unsettling experience. This left me feeling, well, quite dissettled: First, Iceland is bankrupt and it’s government has failed. I had read that the country’s banks were going bankrupt in October, but it seems as though things have really taken a turn for the worse today [ READ MORE ]

imperfect post

I haven’t posted for a long time, and every day I think of something I want to write about. It dawned on me why I don’t do it though.

electroshock therapy works on cats

We have a cat. His name is Linus. He’s two years old now. Recently he started the bad habit of making incredible amounts of noise beginning every morning at 4:30 AM in the form of meowing, scratching, pawing, and general cat-play. It’s incredibly annoying, to the point that Steph and I are losing significant amounts [ READ MORE ]

jon’s pears

It’s 4:53 PM. Long day at the office. My esteemed colleague Jon, tired from a long day’s work returns to his office craving a fresh can of… pears. Actually, they’re not fresh. The can of pears has been sitting in his desk drawer for months, maybe years. He finally brought a can opener into work [ READ MORE ]

A Graphing Of Tim’s Bloggings

Over the last few months, a strange pattern has developed on the blog of my friend Uncle Tim. It’s sad, really, to see how a once prolific writer has simply disappeared from the blogging world. Unfortunately, Tim is in denial of all this. He feels that the blogging world has up and left him – [ READ MORE ]

two hundred thousand point two

Dear Tim, Saturday was a monumental day in the life of your purple car. Amidst a cow pasture on the right and a really big hill on the left, your 1997 Chevy Cavalier surpassed 200,000 miles, officially making it the farthest operating car I have ever owned [including my Ford Contour from highschool which went [ READ MORE ]
