Middle Of the Night Tip
If the only thing you ate all day was half a sandwich and a granola bar, then you should probably refrain from spending four hours at night watching the Food Network. You run the risk of going out of your mind and eating your shoe in a delirious salivating fit. You’re welcome.

A non-technical explanation of RSS Not sure about that weird little orange icon on my left side-bar? This article explains it in a very straight-forward manner. “Expert” doing tricks with the Zippo lighter- via YouTube I think expert might be the wrong word. Dipshit might work better. (A few bad words in this video) Common […]

Wierd Al Interviews Eminem- via YouTube I’m proud to say that we saw this at a Weird Al concert last year. Yes, I’ve been to a Weird Al concert and I’m okay with that. This just isn’t very nice. Sen.

What a complete waste of celluloid. In spite of […]

Words Of Comfort…Compliments of PKD
I’ve been looking through some Philip K. Dick material and I thought I’d share this particular passage: The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words.

Well, I lied. There’s no link dump today. Instead of tagging interesting things I selfishly slept. To make up for the lack of the funny I offer two YouTube videos as a way to satiate you readers. I thought since I posted that Jim Carrey martial arts instructor video several link dumps back that I’d […]
