High-level fandome

What exactly does the tiger tail on this car indicate? A. I’m a Missouri Tiger fan and this is my car’s tail. B. I hate the Missouri Tigers, and I’ve got one in my trunk.

Where Are You, Tim Allen?

Something’s felt a little off this Christmas season. I just figured it out. It’s been more than a year since Tim Allen released a Christmas-themed movie. The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause wasn’t nearly enough to sustain us for two holiday seasons, even with the antics of Martin Short as “Jack Frost.” Can the…

Old woman, no!

I went to Target for some Christmas shopping. Rather than having doors that slide open. Target has traditional automatic doors that fold open. As I approached the store, I noticed an old woman trying to escape from the entrance.  She was standing about two inches from the glass, her cane helping to prop her up. …

Say it ain’t so, Dolph

I’m watching one of the multi-weekly airings of Rocky IV on TV. I remembered hearing that Dolph Lundgren, aka “The Russian,” was some kind of genius. I went to his Wikipedia page for a refresher.  He has a master’s degree in chemical engineering. I was a little thrown off when I learned he was Swedish. …

What to tell the children

So, you thought Nickelodeon could raise your kids. Then, by the time you found out that Britney Spears 16-year-old sister was part of Nickelodeon’s brand of child rearing, she was already knocked up. Then, the media started running stories on what to tell your children. The storyline was frightening. “Whether or not moms are ready…

The War on Christmas

The “War on Christmas” continues, with no end in sight. The American people grow weary of this never-ending war, as reality sets in. How can you win such a war? The enemy isn’t one country, it’s an ideology. Those who celebrate Christmas are asking: Why do they hate us? They hate what we see right…

Those Worrisome Teens

There’s a new study out on teens. I’m as shocked as you are to find out that teens socialize outside the Internet (bold mine). Nearly 40 percent of teens say they talk to friends on a traditional wired phone every day, and 35 percent say they do so on cell phones, the Pew Internet and…

Itchy Socks

Dammit. My socks are itching me. Yes, I could do something about it, but my feet are all the way at the other end of my body. I’m reclining with my computer on my lap, further complicating the situation. Aha! My big toes were able to force the socks away from my affected ankles. It’s…

Parenting tips

Ha. I love when real-life stories are funnier than something The Onion could come up with. Poor Britney’s mom. Lynne Spears’ book about parenting has been delayed indefinitely, her publisher said Wednesday. Lindsey Nobles, a spokeswoman for Christian book publisher Thomas Nelson Inc., said Wednesday that the memoir by the mother of Britney Spears was…

Steroids and Soft Rock

With all the world’s problems behind us, what should Congress do? Hold hearings on steroids! This type of nonsense has no business wasting elected officials’ time. Now, when are we going to get that resolution declaring Dan Fogelberg’s life and works highly underrated? Or is that lowly underrated? Hmmmm. Whatever the case, you know we’d…

Santa’s Deb

Awhile back, we did a show on Santa’s Deb. Santa’s Deb is a Kansas City dog groomer, writer and owner of this van: Santa’s Deb used to have a website that had a really odd message from Santa. Santa talked about how great Santa’s Deb’s children’s books were. Santa finished his message “In Jesus Christ’s…

WTF!!!

I moved my website to a new server and changed my blogging software from Blogger to WordPress. So far, I want to punch someone. Keep your distance. UPDATE: Yes, I’m aware that “WTF” traditionally precedes a question mark. However, in this instance, I felt three exclamation points were more appropriate. I am exclaiming “WTF!!!” I…

BREAKING: Steroids!

America took it right in the kisser yesterday. The Mitchell Report lists 86 players connected to performance-enhancing drugs. That’s right, a bunch of baseball players have used steroids. If only we would’ve seen this coming. I heard a lot of commentary that focused on a weird angle: Not only did superstars take steroids, but some…

Missing curtains found

Missing some burgundy curtains? I think the Watson’s Girl is wearing them. I’m sure the Watson’s Girl goes to lots of naked hot tub parties as part of her hot-tub-selling duties. Maybe someone stole her clothes, and she had no choice but to confiscate the curtains, as she was headed to a Watson’s commercial shoot…

Thanks for ruining Junior, scientists!

Some scientists were bored one day, so they thought they’d piss all over our already-damaged childlike innocence. With all that growing weight up front, how is it that pregnant women don’t lose their balance and topple over? Scientists think they’ve found the answer: There’s are slight differences between women and men in one lower back…

CNN’s Turd-O-Meter

CNN grabbed a handful of undecided Iowa voters, gave them a rotary dial and threw them in a room during the Republican debate Wednesday. If a candidate said something the voters liked, the voters would turn their knobs to the right, indicating a positive reaction. If a candidate said something the voters didn’t like, the…

Three word sentences

“This is Sparta!” – from The 300 “I am Beowulf!” – from Beowulf “I Am Legend.” – title of I Am Legend Mel Gibson’s ass better be headed to a studio to cut the famous “They will never take our freedom” speech from Braveheart and replace it with the much easier to understand “I am…

What you’re missing on MySpace

If you don’t have a MySpace account (my page here), you’re missing out on a whole different world of advertising. Screenshot. Sorry, you can’t play. It kind of sucks for the dude (he’s a dude, right?) in the picture. I’m guessing he didn’t get paid much to play the humiliating role of “Guess the Gender”…

1 of 1000 things wrong with Time Warner

Time Warner’s DVR remote has a really stupid feature, the “Master Power” button. The button seems to randomly decide whether it will function as a master power or as a power button for the currently selected device. So, when your cable box turns itself off for no reason, you’ll press the CBL, then the power…

John McLaughlin says…

John McLaughlin says “If I flap my wings like this, I can fly!” Sorry, I took a screenshot of John McLaughlin thinking I could surely come up with something clever to say with it. This is the best I could do.

It’s icy!

It’s icy and, therefore, cold outside. This is a nuisance. Haven’t you figured this out for yourself? Now, I finally know why Octobaby got rid of her extra limbs. That’s way too much surface area to keep warm. Six-legged long johns don’t come cheap

The Little Drummer Boy

Poor Baby Jesus. First, he gets gold, a gift his non-materialistic world view could never appreciate. Then, he gets frankincense and myrrh, incenses he would only be able to appreciate in his later, hippie years. Finally, he gets bombarded with a surely horrifying, erratic drum performance from the Little Drummer Boy. Last I checked, a…

Buscemi vs Norm

I can understand Norm MacDonald caving, but I thought there were enough “ugly evil guy” roles to keep Steve Buscemi from voicing a ginger bread man in a “Go Phone” commercial. The world ain’t right.

ROBOT ATTACK IMMINENT!!!

I hoped I wouldn’t ever have to do this, but the day has come. Our country is facing impeding doom from robots. The signs weren’t immediately evident when they arrived 25 years ago, but time has exposed their insurrection. That’s right, we can longer afford to ignore the Pat Sajak and Vanna White problem. Sell…
