I knot it’s not Monday. It’s Tuesday. But after the Monday I had, this seemed appropriate when I woke up to more rain and more gray. (And I know this song isn’t really about Mondays. I watch pretty much nothing but Discovery ID. I know what this song is about. I just wanted to put [...]

Lots going on around the corral today, but I thought I’d get a discussion thread going. Got a good story to share? A juicy tip? A burning question? Leave it for us. Enjoy Napoleon Dynamite doing the dance I’ve only partially mastered, but still desire to perform at any upcoming wedding reception. Liquid courage not [...]

Yesterday, my long-suffering, league joke of a baseball team, the Pittsburgh Pirates, had its collective ass handed to it in a way it’s never had it handed to it before. That’s right. A 20-0 loss. The worst in the team’s 124-year history. An ass kicking like no other. A franchise record. I embrace this, actually. [...]

I’ve missed you, old friend. In a move as reliable as Old Faithful, it should come as a shock to nobody who knows me that I have a cold. Again. I’ve never had what you’d call much of an “immune system,” so this doesn’t shock me in the least. Any time I get stressed out [...]

This song came on the quasiPod on the way in today, and I hadn’t heard it in a long, long time. “Well, no one here is getting out alive.” Sage, and true. Perfect theme for a sunny Wednesday.

I’ve got a lot going on today, so I’ve tasked five-state-veteran-journalist editoral board member Mr. Hat wth running things for a bit. He first wanted to share this story from today’s New York Daily News for our friend Lisa at Queen of Pith. Charges against Kiefer Sutherland over Jack McCullough head-butt dropped Note from Mr. [...]

Could I love this thing any more? I’m not sure. There’s definitely an addictive chemical in it that makes me crave it fortnightly. Bonus if you can pinpoint the movie. Very busy day here and abroad, so I may not be back to actually write, so I thought I’d open up a thread for any [...]

(soysaucecarnival.com) If anybody needs me, check back in a little bit later at this point it may be tomorrow. Much going on and much left to do. And a haiku. For fun, you can write your own haiku in the comments. (That’s three lines, five syllables, seven syllables, five syllables for the uninitiated.) Oh, AP [...]

For those who may not know the reference to “Aqua Teen Hunger Force,” here’s a quick explanation of the episode. But a quick Open Post because it’s Tuesday, it’s raining and it’s busy. I spent some time getting ready this morning listening to Tyler Hollywood’s show last night, and it spurred a question that up [...]

Sorry for the downtime today, folks. Apparently, I’m setting all sorts of bandwidth records on teh Interwebz and my hosting company freaked out a little bit. Which, I gotta tell you, is all fine and well considering the day I’ve had and the day that’s left to come. It’s busy here around the Newspaper Ranch [...]
