I don’t know if there’s a longer version of this song, this is the only one I can find, but it crawls into my head, heh, and won’t leave whenever I hear about the cicada double brood event happening in the US this summer. I guess two different cycles of cicadas are converging, and a …

A Post
Coming to you live from one of our nice lawn chairs that some dickhead pigeons have pecked the hell out of, it’s…a post about stuff! Yay! Right now you’re all sharing my first nice weather beer of 2023 with me. Thank you for being here. It means the world. And before you ask, no, I …
Swat!
Today in people who don’t know what an internet or a library is: These two fellas who beat each other with a stick and a baseball bat when an argument over what mosquitos look like got out of hand. According to an arrest warrant, officers found Shavers’ roommate standing outside with blood all over his …
You Want To Be a What For Halloween?
I can’t stop watching this video. It fills me with so much joy. I only hope that some day, I can make just one of my nephews this happy. https://www.tiktok.com/@sierramiller086/video/7142523676066565422 If you’re wondering what the heck that kid is saying, it’s Quetzalcoatlus, a giant prehistoric flying thing I’ve never heard of, but this kid wanted …
Go, Dog, Go.
Back at the beginning of the pandemic, I kept hearing about tons of people adopting pets because they were feeling alone and isolated. I said to Steve, “How long until the surrenders start?” Aren’t I the optimistic sort? If we had stopped time when this piece was written, everybody could laugh at me and say …

Deputies said Taylor asked him not to shoot …
I’m In Fish
If you’ve ever heard the term no-win situation and aren’t quite sure what it means, it’s this. Diving into the water to escape a giant swarm of bees is a perfectly sensible thing to do. The fact that the lake full of piranhas had other plans for you is out of your hands. The incident …
Pack Your Bags…With Ice And Bandages
I don’t go on a lot of international vacations (I haven’t left Canada since 1994), but the next time I do I’m definitely springing for the health insurance if it’s offered. I would hate to be caught unprepared for, say, an extremely venomous snout cobra making a snack out of my goolies while I’m minding …
I Am Dead. I Am Also Literally In Bees
Since we have a bit of a thing about bees around here or perhaps just because I have a thing about frightening poor Carin with stories about bees, I feel it necessary at this time to inform you that the damn things have begun evolving into meat eaters. Please enjoy the rest of your evening. …
An Ode To The Poor Hamsters Of The World
We were listening to Dr. Demento, and a song came on that I can’t get out of my head. It’s so evil, but so good. Those little kids shouldn’t be doing those horrible things with such glee! But it made me think about a hamster that we had when I was a kid. Seriously, the …
