Of all the sites on the internet, this is one.
Jen sent me this sad bit of news the other day. But before I blogged about it, I wanted to assure myself that it was in fact a real and up to date story. If there’s anything I have learned from Snopes, it’s verify, verify, verify! Here’s the message I received, and then I’ll add …

Something funny happened to me last night, which led Steve and I to think about something. I was out with the French group last night, and a guy who hasn’t been in the group for a year came out for a visit. Another member asked him if he’d heard from Cesar or Margarita. I was …
I had something happen to me last night that I thought deserved a mention. I went into a convenience store that I know well so I could buy milk. It’s the convenience store near where I used to live when I lived next to the cool neighbour before he passed away and I experienced Stupidhead …

Remember back when we talked about that guy who had to come into court tied to a chair with his mouth covered? Well, because Neil Simpson decided to spit on jurors, he’ll be coming into court with a diaper on his face! That should be entertaining for the jury and any spectators.

Allow me to apologize right now to the Huppy’s mom. She is from South Africa, and will probably not like this post. Back a bit ago, Huppy and family headed off to South Africa to see the huppy’s mom’s family. When they came back, I came over to hang out with the little guy and …
This story of a deaf guy getting arrested during the G20 insanity made me think about something. If you arrest someone who is deaf, and you have to handcuff them, isn’t that sort of like gagging them? I know that a lot of police don’t understand sign, but the person couldn’t even write a note …

Hey there nice trucker guy who is sitting idling in a parking lot, apparently waiting for me to step off the curb and cross it. Can I come talk to you? I need to explain something to you. I really appreciate the gesture of you waiting for me so I can cross, but we have …
Now, a cross in a cemetery is considered unsafe in the UK. Apparently, all the headstones must be flat. Not only that, but any crosses were removed that were there, apparently without informing family. That’s just insensitive and disrespectful.
