I can’t remember if I’ve mentioned this specifically before. If I have, it needs mentioning again. If you see a handler and guide dog standing at the top of steps, for the love of Pete, no matter how strong the urge is, do not, under any circumstances, urge the dog down the steps! Got it? …

It’s Bud The Spud, And It Lands With A Thud
It appears that houses aren’t egged anymore, they’re potatoed, as a 64-year-old Buffalo woman can attest. There’s not much to the story, except I thought it was funny that she said it was shot from a potato-cannon, as if implements specifically designed for hurling potatos have been invented. Maybe I’m unenlightened. Have they?

Don’t Squeeze The Charmin Embassador
You know you’re desperate for employment when you decide to be a Charmin Embassador. Seriously. What’s the job?

Shitty Robbery Plans
Hey there copper wire-stealing dude. It’s a good idea to check a place where you’re going to steal copper wire to see if there are cameras. What is a bad idea is trying to take a crap in a barrel of grease nearby. There were cameras, you tipped over the barrel, and your whole escapade …

A few days ago, Jen asked me to try out the Spoonbill games, blind gamers series. There are 14 games in all, and they’re all puzzle-oriented and free. I’ve tried a few, I haven’t really gotten into chess or Sudoku, but who knows, maybe I will. The one Steve and I have really gotten into …
That’s A Lot Of Tacos
When I first received the drive-Through folk song video, I found it irritating as hell. But then, the dude at the restaurant got it all right! We need to clone him and put him at drive-throughs everywhere!
In Heaven There Are No Pets?
Oh boy. We’ve talked before about that service that promised to send information to specified people post-rapture. Now, Ann Adams let me know of a company promissing to save your pets if you get scooped up to heaven. What I can’t figure out is, if I am to believe they plan to provide this service, …
So Long, Ed Eames. I Never Knew You, But Thank You
The other day, I heard that Ed Eames wasn’t doing well and was probably not going to make it. Now, I’ve heard the news that he’s gone, and I feel like such an idiot for not knowing exactly who he was. I had seen the name in connection with guide dog-related advocacy projects, and knew …
