They called this lawsuit “frivolous”? This is important stuff! What we’re dealing with here is the primary incentive for Cougars like the Snake’s mom to get out on Wednesday nights. This guy almost ruined it for all of us.

Happy New Year everyone. I hope 2007 treated you well, and 2008 treats you even better.

Funny how the people who stand to be the most impacted by global warming are the same folks who fail to see any truth to it.
The area that will by completely inundated by the rising ocean—and not in a century but in the lifetime of my two cats—are the American southeast, including the most populated [...]

First I’d like to say I got 2 things for Christmas. Jack and shit.
This would be nice though.

Considering how infuriating the news is, and how much I really want to punch the TV/Monitor/kittens, this would come in handy. Yes it would.
Next up on the list is the snark required and focus demanded of me to [...]

Merry Christmas everyone. Enjoy the day.

I’ve got to admit, my old man’s got style.

Ok, I know perhaps some of you thought that last post about Expedia was a bit whiney. But if you check out the customer service representative video.yahoo.com/video/play?… you’ll understand.

I type this on a borrowed laptop as my family is together in Sedona this weekend doing Christmas a few days early.
I haven’t much time, so I’ll keep this short and sweet: You know you’re old when you open all your Christmas presents and they consist of five sweaters, a chia pet [...]

Just a heads up for anyone wishing to book travel arrangements through Expedia during the holidays…read every line in booking process.  In reserving a room in the “Rate Details” page, please read section 3 “Review the rules and restrictions “, because the last sentence here is the non-refundable sentence. It is obviously above section 4 where [...]

This guys sounds like one of my relatives.
A man nearly died from alcohol poisoning after quaffing a liter (two pints) of vodka at an airport security check instead of handing it over to comply with new carry-on rules, police said Wednesday.

I don’t know if you’re interested or follow this issue, but it was about time for a political rant out of me. So, I have a big problem with how our economy is evaluated and how the values of commodities are determined. For instance, we are [...]

File this under “what the fuck?”
Good news for men whose penises are either so large or so small that they can’t find a condom to fit them: A German inventor has come up with a sprayed-to-measure system that should ensure a snug fit for even the most unusual sizes.

In Bayern, you can have a traditional breakfast of Weisswurst with sweet mustard, a soft pretzel and a delicious Weissbier. (There is no lemon in beer. Lemon is for lemonade. Get over it.) Here I am in action last year when a friend came to visit.

Now that is a healthy breakfast, and you get to [...]
