Be a Sport

You want to be all athletic and stuff. You know that exercising with friends builds camaraderie and helps people learn to work together. You have heard rumors that athletes, even golfers, develop friendships that last a lifetime. That way when they get too old to be of use to their teammates they still can get together over a nice game of cribbage and reminisce about the good old days. These are all laudable things. Unfortunately you have all the athletic skills God gave a tree stump. So what to do?…

Hell’s Kitchen & Other Forms of Indentured Servitude for Entertainment

By @ChayseLove In life its best to only discuss what you know. Sure its good to get involved and learn about things you are less informed on, but when blogging those rules do not apply. Reality TV,  I know. I am an avid watcher of this deliciously sinful genre of TV which affords folks from all walks of life a window into the lives of others, albeit a heightened experience thanks to the presence of cameras and the use of masterful editing. However, over the last 14 years, reality TV…

Dem’s Difrunt Dan Us

We’ve been touching on some serious stuff like science and reality and stuff. And we have noted that there are people who are not convinced that this whole reality thing exists. Bigfoot? Sure. Science? Well that’s just a theory. So I thought that today might be a fun day to take a look at these reality deniers. And where do we find them? Well, sure, we could head to any Tea Party rally but that’s picking low hanging fruit. So where then? Well, you know us, we are going to…

Happy Ishtar

I know that people get so excited when something seems to agree with their narrow view that they neglect to check the facts. It’s why, and how, the Tea Party thrives. That being said, atheists and rationalists are allegedly the people who live on facts and facts alone. I used to count myself among their number until I realized that if I was the most evolved creature in the universe that the universe was fucked. Therefore, while I subscribe to no particular religion, I do believe in God. That being…

Batmania

If you were a kid in the 60’s you did this. You grabbed a towel, pinned it around your neck and became a super hero. For millions of kids that hero was Batman. While the TV show was a far cry from the tormented and dark hero who appeared in Detective Comics, the character resonated with kids and hipsters. The former because of his high moral standings coupled with his ability to kick serious butt. The latter just got a kick out of the bright colors and had a good…

Family Fun & Biblical Plagues

Bill McCormick

It’s nice to know that people pay attention. This year I received quite few emails over the last couple of weeks regarding my happy post about Biblical plagues. They all wanted to see it again so they could share it with family and friends. While we do have a search engine on the right hand side of the page I get the fact that some people think that’s a nuisance. And then there’s that whole forwarding links thing and the fact that not everyone is internet savvy and re-posting just…

A Quick Vacation Stop

I’ve wasted a lot of cyberspace debunking the whole concept of Bigfoot. It would seem that common sense and a basic knowledge of biology would preclude any notions in that direction. It would seem that way but it’s not. Simply put there is not enough vacant land in the areas where the Bigfeet allegedly live to hide a population large enough to be self sustaining. That is not true for the Yeti, which is rumored to live in Tibet and the surrounding areas. Scientists have even found DNA that could…

The Amazing Race to the Bottom – Desperation of The Internet

By Chayse Love Do you remember all the hot topics of this week? How about last week? How about last month? If you don’t , thats ok. You’re not alone. Thanks to smart phones, Rss feeds and an overflow of so-called ‘information’, most human beings have become little more than informational coffee filters. Straining news feeds and videos through their brains at a rate that makes it next to impossible for any of it to be absorbed. Unless it’s such a hot button issue that it’s on repeat and the…

Nothing to Sneeze At

This is the time of year that pharmacies rack up tall coin selling people allergy medication. It is also the time of year where, once again, social media sites will be festooned with bad information. Some of it just useless, some of it freaking harmful. Allergies aren’t “all in your head” as some claim. No amount of positive thought will make them go away. Allergies, left untreated, can actually kill people. Or did you think that all those people who work with the public just collect epi-pens for fun? Also,…
