  • Laughing at Failure

    I\’m piping up with a small entry. I would like to submit for your consideration the following two websites, as a way to pass the time, and have a good laugh at someone else\’s mistake(s). Site #1: http://photoshopdisasters.blogspot.com/ Site #2: http://failblog.org/ Enjoy! And, in non-fail-related news, apparently wadE\’s last post about the Vikings\’ season was…

  • Iowa city has safe roads; zero vampires.

    I would like to publicly thank my kid sis for bringing this story to my attention. Ankeny, Iowa has used garlic salt in addition to regular salt on its roads this year. Granted, it was a gift, and I do see the value in using it rather than having it go to a landfill. .…

  • Hot Stove: Puntober Edition

This is a geological \’occasional\’, though, which means the last time it happened was about 800,000 years ago (unless you\’re Sarah Palin, in which case the last time it happened was…

  • A third-party candidate we can all get behind…

    Vote for Zod. And then kneel before him. I\’ve been waiting for his comeback ever since he got forced out of the Imperial Senate a long time ago (and in a galaxy far, far away). Hey, it was either that link or the one from the monkey researcher about how he knows McCain is afraid…

  • RIP, DFW

    Yeah, so that quote on voting that I never got around to attributing . . . it comes from this article, penned by one of my favorite authors. An author so famously verbose that I suspect many of his magazine articles could have been, left uncut, made into books. David Foster Wallace, 1962-2008. Rest in…
