Other outlandish but shockingly true conspiracies!

Completely plausible conspiracy #1.
There is a masochistic dental conspiracy.
It’s true! Dentists are indoctrinated from their earliest days of dental school on the proper mauling and torturing of poor folks who just want to get their cavities filled. How do I know this? Well, duh, all dentists hurt people, like, every day! [...]

Earworm

Sorry to do this to you folks but I have had this song stuck in my head for months and I have decided that I will now infect you all with it’s reggae goodness. While they may spend their days playing with puppets, the brilliant minds at the Sesame Street workshop write music as [...]

The first sentence; how important is it?

As a reader, the first sentence of a book has always been the most important one in any book I read.  I’m not the kind of person that will flip to the end of a book to find out what happens to the characters — I like to enjoy the ride the author is taking [...]

From the mouth of babes: Juice

There was a time that I thought that we all came to this earth more or less selfish beings and that any empathy that we have has to be taught to us (isn’t that what William Golding’s book was about — that and pig heads?) but I no longer think that is the case. [...]

It’s been about 24 hours since I went into my surgery and I am doing pretty well.  The pain is a little more vivid today but I don’t feel anywhere near as groggy as I did yesterday.  In fact, I just got out of the shower and am currently clean-shaven.  Don’t I feel proud.
In the [...]

From the mouth of babes: Unconditional love

Lincoln wanted to snuggle with me on the couch but it was a obscenely hot day and my inner radiator was apparently on the fritz.

Lincoln: “That’s OK dad. I love you anyway.”
There you have it folks; unconditional [...]

A bright and prosperous future.

Just a few quick notes before the week officially starts.

Big day tomorrow.  Can’t say why, but trust me, it big-ness.
Killed the TV today, on purpose even.  Lincoln didn’t even cry when he found out.  My hero.
Tried A&W’s new Rootbeer float in a bottle drink.  I’ll have a nice review and pretty pictures soonish.
New caricature to [...]

Election time!

Here’s what I propose: both candidates, one ring and a preference for sleeper holds. First one to say ‘uncle’ loses.
It would be less painful than having to watch John McCain and Barack Obama bash each other’s heads across the airwaves for the next few months. I loathe political TV ads. [...]

All it needs is a little more hot sauce

If any of you ever come to Rochester, New York there is one thing you must try. Chicago may have its pizza, Philadelphia its cheese-steaks, in Smugtown we have the Garbage plate.

I know what you’re thinking, the name is very apropos. The garbage plate (or just a ‘plate’ as is commonly used to [...]
