Don’t you hate when your neighbors keep you up at night with their frenetic sounds of sexual bliss? It’s 2:00am and you’re laying in your bed, wide awake, with the sounds of labored squeaks emanating from your walls from somewhere outside. I mean, really! The backyard, under the house, the bushes; is no place sacred?!?… Continue reading Noisy Neighbors

Quandries of the American English Dialect
ar·chi·tect (är’kĭ-tĕkt’) n. One who designs and supervises the construction of buildings or other large structures. One that plans or devises: a country considered to be the chief architect of war in the Middle East. [Latin architectus, from Greek arkhitektōn : arkhi-, archi- + tektōn, builder.] At some point (I believe within my lifetime), the… Continue reading Quandries of the American English Dialect
LOL Code
Script Kiddies beware. Adam Lindsay has begun an effort to replace your l33t speaking ways with a rudimentary development language (lolcode) using the same coded phrases you disrespect your mothers with (you text your mom with that hand?). As a demonstration of his awesomeness, Lindsay offers this example of a simple count loop: HAI CAN… Continue reading LOL Code
Scientific Study
“AA” battery acid tastes like burning. I had imagined it would be sour.
Be Kind to Wild Animals
Friday night I haphazardly tossed the contents of the evening’s milk shake off the back deck down 14′ feet or so into our compost pile. Much to the utter surprise of a large-ish opossum, the milky-sweet goodness splattered loudly as it found its mark on the possum’s back. The possum made short work of shimmying… Continue reading Be Kind to Wild Animals
Spontaneous Glitches
As I was working on my post for Disney World just now, my site encountered a spontaneous glitch. As such, I’ve had to stop writing for now and work on the problem at hand. The result of the problem is that I no longer seem to be able to use PHP sessions. Something I’ve always… Continue reading Spontaneous Glitches
Gym Jones – The Discipline Behind “300”
It’s better to die on your feet than live on your knees. The men of Zack Snyder’s “300” trained 10-12 hours a day, five days a week, for four months – all while eating barely enough to cover their needs and recovery. It was at the invitation-only fitness center in Utah, Gym Jones, where strength… Continue reading Gym Jones – The Discipline Behind “300”
Dames A’Flame – Atlanta Burlesque
Jeff McClure got a gig with this month’s Dames A’Flame burlesque show in Atlanta. Contrary to what you might imagine (and shame on you), Jeff was not decked out in the style of burlesque. No, he performed his magic act with some witty banter with the girls to get some laughs. It went well and… Continue reading Dames A’Flame – Atlanta Burlesque
Medieval Times in Atlanta
Amy’s birthday was celebrated this year at Medieval Times in Atlanta. I had heard some bad reports on Medieval Times in general, but nothing was going to stop me from experiencing it on my own. I’m certainly glad I did my own investigation. Medieval Times was a raucous good time for 8 friends that went.… Continue reading Medieval Times in Atlanta
Sleepwalker Severs Girlfriend’s Spine
I couldn’t find a related news item on the web anywhere, but my wife tells me she was watching a thing on T.V. about a guy who has been released from charges of murder. His excuse is that he’s a horrible sleepwalker and apparently does things like move furniture around in the night. The court… Continue reading Sleepwalker Severs Girlfriend’s Spine
