When I was younger, I used to play with myself.
No, not like that. Okay, well, yes like that, but that’s not what I meant. (Too much information, huh? The hell with it, I’m leaving it in. We’re all sexy beasts here.)
What I mean is that I used to play with different parts of my body, to see what I could learn from them, to see what they would do. Continue reading “Visits from Dead People — Part 1”
You don’t have a hope in hell of escape.
Barricade yourself behind thick walls in brick buildings, the snakes will find you. They will get to you. They will show you no mercy. While you sleep, their patient, unceasing pursuit of your tender flesh will go on.
This is what you have bought, sacrilegious faithless humans! Upsetting God’s natural order, risking His Awesome Wrath, you have driven the rapid evolution of deadly Geometric Brick Snakes! Continue reading ““Your Ass Is Mine!” Say Relentless Brick Snakes”
Well, it’s a crippling mental illness if you’re a religious authority. Otherwise, it’s Freedom.
America’s “Nones” — the nonreligious — are at an all-time high, now comprising nearly one in five Americans (19%), according to a new study by the Pew Center for the People and the Press. The 19% count is based on aggregated surveys of 19,377 people conducted by the Pew Research Center throughout 2011 and reported by USA Today.

Coloradans Bow in Prayer for Shooting Victims is an odd, substanceless story that seems to exist only to provide work for magnetic domains on a hard drive somewhere. Maybe it’s a placeholder for the real story which is coming later.
Regardless, listen to this: Continue reading “News Strangely Lacking In News”
Given the common name of the thing, I would swear the Neoclinus blanchardi is a spoof. (Click the pic to embiggen.)
Yet Wikipedia describes it thus: Continue reading “Monster Under the Bed Scientifically Identified!”
I’m just going to go ahead and assume everybody in the known Universe knew about this. That’s the way these things usually work when I “discover” something especially delightful. If there was a Last to Know Club, I would be elected president by popular acclaim.
I’m also going to assume you are a Calvin & Hobbes fan, because, hey, if you’re not, you’re dead to me.
But! In 2011, years after Bill Watterson stopped doing Calvin & Hobbes, a couple of brothers doing a comic named Pants are Overrated did just these four strips of Calvin’s life 26 years later. Continue reading “Calvin & Hobbes Epilog — Extra Bacon!”
I actually like Tony Robbins, and I lean toward buy-in to the basic concept of motivational speaking.
The difference between believing you can do a thing, and not do that thing, matters. I’ve had amazing successes at points in my life, and terrible failures at others. Some of those amazing successes were attended by a deliberately positive mindset, some of the terrible failures were attended by aimlessly negative ones. Continue reading “Toasty Toes at Tony Robbins Event”
I purposely decline to read or watch or listen to “news” stories like this, because they’re really little more than the news version of pop music. I like being beaten over the head with them about as much as I like being beaten over the head with the peppy, poppy, insidious, every-15-minutes-on-the-radio notes of “Call Me Maybe.” Continue reading “I Will Not Be Weighing In On The Colorado Shooting”
Seeing the new Batman movie last night, I had this exciting epiphany about blogging.
Blogging is enormously demanding of time and energy. You have to turn out a completely new post at least every few days. For some bloggers, it’s a new post several times EACH DAY.
But sitting in the theater and looking around at the happy faces, movie-goers content to see yet another Batman movie and plop down $9.50 for the privilege, I thought about reboots. Continue reading “Maverick Blogger Pioneers World’s First Blog Post Reboot!”
