They got Sick! Real Quick!
Ok, this just pisses me off because I thought people knew better. Taken from the story in Google News A five-year-old boy needed a liver transplant after he and his family were severely poisoned by wild mushrooms they picked in Waterloo and ate for dinner last week. Ok, how did a whole family miss the …
Mommy, it’s Over!
Well, I can’t believe it. Friday will come around again, and there will be one less thing to do, and that is check Jonathan Coulton’s website for the Thing a Week! Sniff sniff! He has decided that, after writing 52 things a week, he deserves a break, and rightly so. He says he will continue …
The Pedestrians on the Street go Squish Squish Squish?

Ad Slogans that Need a Little Tweaking
I heard a couple of ads that made me think some strange things. If the new program from NutriSystem is called NutriSystem Nourish, what did the old one do? Was it NutriSystem Starve Until You’re a Skeleton? I’m scared. One ad claims you shouldn’t be hungry after you eat. Really? So after my first meal, …
