I just read a horrible story on this blog about a dangerous dog toy. If you really want your heart ripped out, watch the videos in this post. What a horrible accident. I guess Four Paws Inc. has been at this for a few years. They have a dog ball called the pimple ball with …

Goodbye, Chicken!
Here’s an event I’m glad I never saw when I was in Quebec. In the town of Thetford mines, there has been an event for the past few labour days where the organizers draw lines on the ground, chop a chicken’s head off, and people make bets on where the body’s final resting place will …
Thoughts On "The First Lady Of The Seeing Eye"
Well, Jill is going to smile because I finished the second book she recommended, “The First Lady of the Seeing Eye”. Sadly, there was no mention of Juno, not by name anyway. The empty harness was mentioned, but that’s it. But I did learn a lot of stuff I never intended to. First off, good …

More Ways To Help Holly
Remember Holly? Well, she’s still struggling along, and she’s also moved. I hope her new community is a little more helpful. At any rate, she now has a Cafepress store where you can buy everything from bumper stickers to mugs to mouse pads to hoodies. I’m not a big fan of how much money Cafe …
Isn’t This A Little Extreme?
This is insane. First we have fire marshals cuffing people for swearing in Wal-Mart, and now people are being taken downtown for overdue library books. What’s going on?
Blackened And Blue Angel
Ouch ouch ouch! that has gotta hurt. I think the main reason I’m posting this story, aside from the ouch factor, is the frequent use of the word “fart” in a serious news story. Little guy, stay in England. Don’t move to Winnipeg.
R.I.P. My Stupid Computer
Well, it’s official. my limping computer can’t limp anymore. It is a large paperweight. Today, it shut off three times while I was trying to click links. The third time, it would not turn on. the other times, I had to reach back and hit the direct power switch that supplied the juice to the …
Brenden The Giant
Wow. You know how I complain about being too short? Here’s a kid who is too tall. I mean way, way, way the hell too tall. This 12-year-old kid is over seven feet tall! He doesn’t fit in a SUV. And he’s the only kid like this. His genes decided to play some flip-flops and …
That’s A Good Noise!
The thing I have to say about this post is woohoo! I would like to say it as loudly as possible. Some true geniuses over at Lotus Engineering have come up with a brilliant solution to the problem of hybrid cars being silent pedestrian-pulverizers. They want to install a waterproof speaker on the outside of …
I Didn’t Want That Kind Of Travel Bug
Last night, I talked to another dude who does geocaching, and somehow we got talking about my theories on geocaching gone bad. He, like W.S.g, says he’s never found anything malicious in a geocache. Wow! I’m truly amazed! Maybe there’s hope for us after all. But he did tell me a gross story that happened …
