Every day we go about out lives and we interact with people who we probably don't even think twice about. Many of us interact with pharmacists and never think twice about it, or what they think of us. I know mr 375lb bench press aka 'the lower cased one...
The wrong side of a Meme

I remember a long time ago, I saw some very scarry looking dude with a "I'd rather see my sister in a whorehouse than my brother riding a riceburner" t-shirt. I don't have a sister and would prefer Japanese motorcycles if I rode bikes, so I can't really...

I can almost feel the hate mail accruing before I even post this, but it's too funny not to post. Do you remember a group called 20 Fingers ? They had two songs that were quite popular in most of the dance clubs like 10 years ago. Anyway, I've...

I doubt there is anyone that hates moving as much as I do, but for someone that hates moving, I sure do it a lot. Actually, I don't hate moving in the sense of going somewhere new, in fact I'm quite fond of that. But the physical process of moving...

    Please note that this is my personal blog and the opinions expressed are my own. Also, comment moderation is about one of the least important things in my life so please keep that in mind. I can't vouch for the authenticity of any of the posters so please don't hold me accountable. And whatever you do, don't pretend to be Noted Option Strict Off expert and AspFriend Charles Mark Carroll when you post. Doing so will lead him to become apoplectic and write absurd accusatory posts about me that are as coherent and thought out as they are factually correct. He does a stellar job proving his reputation is well deserved and he doesn't need any help from you making himself look foolish. If I have to listen to him banging his spoon off of his high chair one more time, I'm going to burst into flames so please don't make that happen!
