Whatever happened to …

… this guy? I love this commerical. I’ve always loved this commercial. Then again, most people are pretty sure I hate America.

New York Post = headline win (again)

I wasn’t sure I could love the New York Post any more than I already do, but then today came.

I just saved you a few hundred calories

(Photo courtesy of Ocean Spray) So, in just two short days, people with far more exciting social lives than what I have will head out to welcome in a new decade. While they’re wearing their funny hats and testing noisemakers, there’s going to be time to have a celebratory drink. Or 10. And then … [...]

Um … uhh … I … gee … don’t know

When I went home for Christmas, I passed this store on the way down. The store’s in Moundsville, and I guess it must be new, because I’ve never seen it before. It’s a shipping store called “Goin’ Postal.” Am I the only one who feels kind of icky about this? It’s a real company with [...]

A little pre-travel WTF

A huge tip of the hat to my very good friend Economic Friction for delivering this to me yesterday via e-mail. A picture that immediately had me doubled over in the kind of laughter that comes from completely inappropriate things. Really, Disney? Old Yeller Dog Food? So, if I follow the logic, you feed this [...]

So, stop me if you’ve heard this one …

(exchristian.net) So, Sunday morning, I get up, and I check some news, sign into Facebook and I see a link my friend Chris has posted. It’s a link from NBC Washington, so, being that I live here,  I was interested. And then I was really, really annoyed. He’d posted a link to an article called [...]

Back to normal (whatever that is ’round here)

That’s the view from my office this Monday morning. The Feds got a snow day, so the train was next to empty, which was nice. I think it’s above freezing today, so with a little luck, they’ll be able to get most stuff clear by tonight. The apartment complex is still a mess. I’m not [...]

The big dig (minus a shovel)

So, it was decided between the two of us that digging the car out on Sunday afternoon was far, far preferred to trying to dig the car out at 7 a.m. Monday when you’ve got the additional pressure of having to get to work. Bundled up, we shuffled down four flights of stairs to the [...]

Batten down the hatches, matey

So, this is what being snowed in is all about, I guess. All day, I’ve watched people try to drive around in this, and I’m mystified. Your Chevy Cavalier was not designed to handle nearly two feet of snow, no matter how pimp your rims are. Watching the news off and on all day (with [...]

With hours to go …

So, this was the view from our Malaysian balcony at about 10 a.m. I don’t know what these people mean when they talk about global warming. I mean, this kind of snow? In Malaysia? What the hell? According to my friends at D.C.’s NewsChannel 8, where the TV’s been firmly parked since 7:30 a.m., the [...]
