Theme song time. Here’s a very explosive lesson, taught by two unnamed males and an unnamed female in Bellevue. It is not at all safe to pour gas directly into your carburetor via a water bottle while you are driving. Yes, you read that correctly. It’s also not safe to keep the remainder of your …

The 1950’s Called. They Want Their Segregation Policies Back.
Oh boy. I sort of understand what they’re going for, but I still don’t like it. I envision a very slippery slope, and I don’t trust humanity to avoid it. In Lancaster, PA, they’ve seen that having role models helps kids do better. So, at one high school, they’re going to separate some of them …

On Facebook
I forget how this all started on Twitter, but we got talking about relationship statuses. Then James sent me this gem of a song. It really made me chuckle, because I could think of a couple people who would listen to that song and sympathize. So first we had songs about people’s moms joining their …
A Heapin’ Helpin’ Of Babble
Enough chomp chomp chomping for now. Let’s just ramble. I haven’t rambled in a little bit. I had a weird thing happen to me yesterday. I went to the drug store to pick something up, and a girl that usually helps me out said “So, you’re here for something for your eye?” My eye? No. …
The Post Office’s Thoughtlessness Towards Accessibility Is Enough To Make One Go Postal!
I was hoping to have something funny between angry chomping posts, but nothing funny came to me. So let’s go, chomp chomp chomp. Back in December, I walked down to the post office. I was going to send Ro her Christmas present. That’s a pretty simple task. I walked in there, got it all boxed …

Well, they put this technology in a Ford Escape, and yesterday, Mark Riccobono drove it around the racetrack at Daytona.Have some audio, courtesy of Blind Bargains. I don’t know how to feel about this. Yeah, maybe they can take something …
Meetup, Thumbs Down
Ug. I hate having to write angry posts, but I have to. Remember back in October when I said that Meetup’s interface had taken yet another accessibility crap? Well, they just took another one. On Thursday, they rolled out their interface that they consider to be just beautiful. That same day, I went to schedule …
Really, The F Word Is Quite A Good Word!
I’m posting this um, erm, grammar lesson, for 3 reasons. First, I saw it on Weird Universe and it gave me flashbacks. I forget who found this back when I was at school, but I remember listening to it over, and over, and over again, probably until my room-mate wanted to employ the starring word …
Devon And Jeff, Together Again
Yea! Everybody can dance and be happy. Devon is returned. He was found by a British couple the night he ran away and they took care of him until the police got him back. Why they didn’t try to get a hold of Jeff I don’t know, but they seemed to have treated the dog …
Thx For Ur Bombs
Hahahahahahahahaha! Hahahahahahahahahah! Hehehehehheheheh! Giggle giggle snort. Ok. I think I can manage to write this down now. This is about as good as the story of the suicide bomber who accidentally blew himself up falling down the stairs. But there’s something even funnier about this one. I can’t explain it. It just is. A woman …
