Ok, I know. This is getting a little out of hand. I won again on blingo. Well, more specifically, one of my Blingo friends won. But… uh… if you’ve been thinking about signing up and haven’t… well… make a New Year’s Resolution to start winning. …okay, okay… I know these posts are getting annoying. No more for [...]

First off… I noticed that I posted my 2,000th post last month. When I celebrated #1,000 Kevin wished that my 2,000th would come “from some hoity-toity law school campus with two hot blondes hanging on either arm.” Well… I am at Law School (though not so hoity-toity) and I’ve got two hot blondes… so [...]

I’m not a huge Christmas person. I like it, don’t get me wrong, and giving/getting gifts is fun, but I don’t live all year for Christmas. It’s sort of odd, though, because I’ve always gotten really great gifts. My parents were always good at this whole Christmas thing. This year I got a lot of [...]

To those who celebrate… Merry Christmas. To those who whine about other people celebrating Christmas… ’tis the season to shut the fuck up. By tomorrow morning, a fat man in a suit is going to passed out outside of some bar way up north. Anyway… I hope everyone got a dick-in-a-box, or something equally nice, for Christmas.

In case you were under the deluded impression that coke/pop/soda was good for you… think again. In The First 10 minutes: 10 teaspoons of sugar hit your system. (100% of your recommended daily intake.) You don’t immediately vomit from the overwhelming sweetness because phosphoric acid cuts the flavor allowing you to [...]

This… well… this is just amazing. Amazing in a “I can’t believe it” sort of way. It turns out that four layers of customer support at Verizon were not able to comprehend the difference between two-tenths of a dollar and two-tenths of a cent. Verizon fails at simple unit conversion, by the looks of things. [...]

At what point does posting when I win on Blingo stop being promotion and start being bragging? Anyway… I won again on Blingo. This means in the 13 months since my first win, I’ve won 13 prizes… and that doesn’t include the month that I won three times and was only allowed to claim two prizes. Anyway… [...]

These guys make pretty much the coolest table ever… everyone has seen tables that expand… but how many of them expand radially? I wonder how much they cost.

For a lot of reasons, I prefer the selection of Florida to that of Michigan. The big 10 was astoundingly weak this year (PS: Wisconsin has no business being a top 10 team, regardless of their record) and while I will grant that Michigan is probably the better team (they’re more consistent, at least), all [...]

Today a note showed up on my facebook news feed. That note read: If you have missed me while I have been in Germany, leave somethin you have missed about me the most. And I am a realist, if you didnt miss me, what is a reason why u were glad I [...]
