Massages And Pregnancies
Here’s how awake I’m not. I just got an email advertising a deal on “massage packages,” and for a minute I was like wait, they’re allowed to sell package massages? So yeah, have another joke. I think that’s the safest thing to do. A young Catholic girl went to confession and said to the priest, …
Why Italians Leave Their Families Their Guns
Right now I’m going through a bunch of old email since even after an entire pot of tea, I don’t feel like I’m quite awake enough to tackle anything that involves any kind of serious writing thought or reading comprehension.

Is Silent More Deadly?
Now that we’ve figured out why there are so many dashboard video cameras in the vehicles of Russia, let’s take on another of life’s most burning questions.

4 Songs I Like Listening To These Days
Since we’re talking music, here are a few more songs I’m digging (har har) right now. First up, Corb Lund – Dig Gravedigger Dig. Unless there’s some sort of fancy metaphor that’s gone completely over my head, this is, in fact, an impossibly groovy country song about a guy who digs graves for a living. …
