Happy Canada Day

Wednesday, July 1st, 2009

Even though my Canadian roommate is in Baltimore today, I thought I’d recognize Canada Day with this favorite old comic book scan featuring the Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles’s visit to Ottowa where they are threatened by the Awesome Sho-Gun Super-Warrior (who appears to be a giant robot with super-inappropriate nipple cannons and pelvic spike [...]

12 for 12

Friday, June 12th, 2009

I remembered this morning that it was the 12th day of the month, so I decided to do the 12 for 12 photo meme. 12 photos to capture my day on the 12th of the month. Originally inspired by Enrico. So, the early part of my day is pretty boring (and not at all pretty [...]

The Wearable Towel

Saturday, June 6th, 2009

No, no, no! Much like blankets (I’m looking at you, creepy Snuggie), towels are fine just the way they are. Plus, if I see one of my neighbors (who do not look like this guy) waddle out to pick up the paper wearing nothing but a toga-towel, I may become sick. Most important of all, [...]

I Can Has Wha….?

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009

In my slow preparations for a return to dorm life after over 12 years, I’ve been slowly unpacking my room and sorting out things I have to keep, things I’d like to keep, and things I probably ought to let go of. In the process, I’ve discovered a number of things that fall into the [...]

I’m not sure if I’m comfortable shopping at this store, which is just down the street: Altar Frosty Boy: Often Licked – Never Beaten

Things I don’t care about…

Here is a brief list of things about which I don’t care: World shocked that woman can sing despite being old and unattractive Beauty pageant reveals that pretty girls in swimsuits can be bigots Obnoxious and crude gossip blogger is easily offended and vindictive [...]

How to Stimulate the Housing Market

Monday, February 23rd, 2009

If open houses went down like this commercial, I might show more interest in buying property some day.

The Band Album Cover Meme

Friday, February 20th, 2009

I’ve done versions of this before, but now it’s making its way around Facebook, so an updated version: Make your band’s album cover meme: 1 – Go to Wikipedia. Hit “random” or click http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random The first random Wikipedia article you get is the name of your band. 2 – Go to Quotations Page and select [...]

Pirates Beat Ninjas

Monday, February 16th, 2009

Okay, this whole “sleep through the daylight hours” thing I’ve been doing lately is not cute anymore. Sure, it’s fun to play video games and watch movies while everyone else is asleep, but then I miss out on an entire day of voting in my guest debate with Craig at Puntabulous. Apparently, some people doubt [...]
