Wackjobs and spam

It appears that some wackjob added me to a spam email list, and I’ve got a pretty good idea who did it given the timing and the fact that I just had an uber weird run-in with a crazy person both here, and on my political blog.  
When I say “crazy person”, I mean that [...]

This is a note most teachers won’t forget anytime soon.
A ten-year-old girl in Wisconsin had a note confiscated by a teacher, which of course happens every day, everywhere around the world.  The teacher didn’t read the note immediately, since the girl was not a discipline problem, but when she did, it scared her half to [...]

Updates on Steven Adler and Blind Melon

I wrote recently about Steven Adler, the original drummer for Guns N Roses who was kicked out of the band for using too many drugs (which still boggles the mind, considering which band he was in) and is now on the show “Celebrity Rehab”.  I am very sad to note that, very shortly after he [...]

“Real Housewives of Atlanta” is unintentionally hilarious

A few days ago I was really and truly bored, and decided to watch some television.  I ran across one show I would never normally watch, called “The Real Housewives of Atlanta”.
Apparently this series shows “real housewives”, but not of the house-dress and broom-and-mop variety.  No sir, these woman are so wealthy that top name [...]

Bar patron throttles karaoke singer for messing up “Holy Diver”

I actually sympathize with these arrestees, at least to some point.  Allow me to explain.
A few years ago, when Elf was an older teenager and would stay with friends, I used to go to a local bar which did karaoke on weekend nights.  Basically I’d hang out with friends, drink a few beers, maybe play [...]

Don’t think I don’t think about it

Today my television was playing Country Music Television (something I don’t do voluntarily, by the way; my other half likes country music sometimes).  I normally don’t like modern country music at all, though the classics – Patsy Cline, Johnny Cash, etc – are great.  At any rate, I was only half listening (if that) while [...]
