Wow. Another parent of the year. I don’t have a lot to say, because there isn’t anything I could add, except, oh yeah, this one’s in Florida, too. This one, Kayla R. Oxenham, decided she had to brand her kids to mark them as her own. Yup, that’s what they say she said. She heated …

Technology Hitchin’ A Ride
I saw something about this while looking at Twitter. The first time I saw it, it just sort of made me raise my eyebrows. Then I saw it again, and I gave it some more thought. So here’s the story, as much as I understand it. Some researchers in Toronto have built a hitchhiking robot. …
A Quick Update On The Swiss Cheese Guy
You may or may not remember Chris Pagano, the fella that a lot of folks had taken to calling the swiss cheese pervert. If you’re in the may not camp, you can get yourself up to speed right on over here. There’s an update to his case, sent my way by Michelle, who I must …
The Trooper, Bluegrass Style
Had I not been told that these guys were kinda silly lookin’, I’d have just thought of them as the Finnish dudes with the funny band name who did a pretty sweet Iron Maiden cover. Steve ‘n’ Seagulls – The Trooper Here’s a sense of what they look like, in case you’re one of my …
And Now, Our Long Distance Deadication
Thanks for the title idea, Carin. I wish I’d come up with it. I’m not going to get into all the family squabbles and elder abuse surrounding this. It’s all just shitty and sad, and Casey Kasem deserves better. I just want to say a quick goodbye to the guy I listened to on CKSL …
Could I See Your Budweiser And Registration Please, Sir?
You know that old line about asking the officer to hold your beer when he pulls you over? Seems a fellow by the name of Damon Tobias Exum may have decided to try it out. It pretty much bombed which is fitting in a way, though perhaps officer Rodriguez might have found the whole thing …

I Think He Had More Than A Snoring Problem
I read about this story not too long after I was out of the hospital. In true me fashion, I let out a scream when it got crazy…and then thought, in light of current circumstances, maybe that was dumb. Poor Steve, the scream must have been pretty painful-sounding, because he came in a hurry, thinking …

Train In Vein
After my hospital adventures, I had a point driven home to me. My veins suuuuck! Holy crap do they suuuck! For years I had to have blood work every 3 months. I didn’t really mind, they’d poke me, take what they needed, it was all over in a second. I’d just go in there, offer …
He’s The One They Call Dr. Feel A Little Too Good
And here Carin was, thinking her anesthesiologist asking her what she was in for was bad. Take heart, little one. At least your guy wasn’t sending sexually explicit text messages during your operation…probably. According to the Washington State Department of Health, Zilberstein is being accused of endangering the safety of patients “due to his preoccupation …

That Was Sure Surprising, Wasn’t It?
Well, that was pointless. Completely useless. Nothing was settled. Total waste of time and money. Here we are, right back where we started. Another minori…wait, what? Honestly, I did not expect this at all. I don’t see how anyone could have. Opinion polls around elections only have so much value and there’s only so much …
