On this, the busiest shopping day of the year, the department stores and malls will be filled to capacity with droves of frantic Christmas shoppers. Sure, Christmas is still three weeks away, but don’t bother telling any of them that. As far as they’re concerned, it could be tomorrow. I’ve always wondered how so many [...]
Yesterday I had the immense “pleasure” of watching what was, quite possibly, the worst football game I’ve ever seen. ‘Bama’s big rival Auburn came to town looking to stay alive in the hunt for a shot at Georgia in the SEC Title Game (Alabama had, of course, already clinched the west, but we can’t go [...]
Marina sent along a little FYI and so I shall now, as a public service to you, my loyal readers, pass along this very serious message. Warning! In other news, everyone’s favorite holiday is only 6 shopping days away. It seems that everyone’s favorite Tess has already done her shopping! Have you? Speaking of Tess, ladies, have you [...]
I heard such good things about the men who made their way from here over to Tess’s to fill out her Man Survey, so I thought I’d pass along the word that she’s now compiled a Woman Survey. Please go now and fill it out. I’ll love you, Tess’ll love you… it’ll be a great [...]
This was sent to me by a certain Pennsylvanian, who shall remain anonymous. Don’t even ask if it’s Sarah Bond, because I can’t tell you that you’re right. However, being in the south at this current moment I can tell you that this would be almost as effective as sending in the Marines. The latest ploy [...]
Alabama clinched the western division championship last night with a win over LSU. The only problem is that Alabama is not eligible to participate in post-season play thanks to some Auburn fans up at the NCAA. What’s really sad is that some team is going to look in the mirror after the SEC Championship and [...]
The other day in Japanese the professor was talking about sending New Year’s cards. He said that pretty much everyone sends them to pretty much everyone they know. This conversation ensued: Professor: If you don’t get many New Year’s cards then you’re not very popular. Student: Does the suicide rate go up around New Years? Professor: Yes! Maybe [...]
CNN brought my attention to an article about a 29-year-old woman who had amassed more than $20,000 in credit card debt. She saw a flier in a supermarket asking for $7,000 to pay off debt. She took the hint and created a website, SaveKaryn.com, where she asked people to donate to her own debt relief. Amazingly [...]
Today was an interesting day. It started with 10 hours of stadium clean-up for Circle K. That was bad, but that’s alright. I got back from that and went to get some dinner. Today was also the last day for us to trim the jungle in the backyard. Tuscaloosa has some absurd city ordinance about [...]
First off I want to advertise an hours incentive that our board came up with. It’s a neat idea and we started it last night and our members seem pretty excited about it. We have two meetings a week, one on Tuesday and one on Wednesday. On Wednesday’s meeting, we put the names of all [...]
