The more things change, the more they stay the same

The Blues Brothers cover of Green Onions came on my iPod while I was driving the other day.  I have always liked the tune and it remains one I’ll always listen to.  In the middle of the Blue Brothers cover is a monologue by Dan Aykroyd (aka Elwood) that seems relevant 30 years later if [...]

Everything I needed to learn in life I learned from Pop songs

The Bloodhound Gang was right, getting your Waffle House hash browns smothered1 and covered2 is the way to go. (See The Bad Touch.)
In any case, being in Nashville this weekend has allowed me to go to a Waffle House sober for the first time. Since I am a big fan of greasy food, [...]

One ring to rule them all…

Another day, another silly internet quiz. This time I’m a elven woman!

Possessing a rare combination of wisdom and humility, while serenely dominating your environment you selflessly use your powers to care for others.

Church of the Drazi?

At our church last Sunday, at the gathering of the youth, the youth pastor was telling the children the story of the Good Samaritan. To relate it to the children he used green paper and purple paper, instead of different tribes of men. Sitting up front with my daughter, I kept thinking of [...]

The Gyro Melt

After weeks of telling me that I should go, I finally gave into Liz’s demands and tried out the gyro melt at CND Gyros at 205 E. Grand Ave. Basically, it was a patty melt (which is NOTHING like a cheeseburger, Ian!) with gyro meat. It may be one of the best things [...]

Its over…

I forgot to post this yesterday…
But I felt a great disturbance in the force, as if a million voices were crying out prices and were suddenly silenced.

Open note to Nathan Fillion

So, it looks like Fox is taking an axe to Drive.  While I understand the ratings were not good, I did enjoy the show.  However, this is two times that Fox has pulled the rug out from under you.  I’ve enjoyed you in a number of shows, even on 2 Guys, a Girl, and something [...]

Dead Bunny Storage

I had tagged someone’s homemade KillerBunnies case, but it seemed like it was beyond what was reasonable to do, and not reasonable in price. MARK did some web searching and Problem Solved for $13. More than enough room for the 600+ cards that we now have.

Whoa

According to That Book: …of Perfectly Useless Information:
If you farted continously for 6 years and 9 months, enough wind would be produced to equal the energy of an atomic bomb.
I wanted to post this before the super bowl where we had planned to eat wings and drink beer and later produce wind energy. I [...]
