What the hell is up with fake blue eyes in commercials?  Some lousy Father’s Day commercial came on today and I was immediately struck by the little boy with spice addiction.  His eyes were glowing blue and when I paused it to get a closer look, it turns out he has no pupils.  This crappy [...]

If you are in search of a blog that will put an end to all of your earthly troubles, look no further than the Noisy Channel.  Aside from being a font of knowledge that will turn you into an AI from a futurist’s dream, there have been reports that regular TNC readers have been cured [...]

Let’s say you are standing next to a 10-foot tall box filled to the brim with blankets.  Wouldn’t you bark at it so the giant could lift you up and put you in it? After a short period of discomfort, because he didn’t know what he was getting himself into, the little buddy is sleeping [...]

I saw a great bumper sticker today.  Unfortunately, the pic I snapped was blurry as all crap and I felt too nervous to take another one.  Which I shouldn’t have, but I can’t help myself. We child-proofed the house, But they STILL get in!

It doesn’t inspire confidence in a jobs posting site when you get results for job salaries like this: I must admit, I am surprised.

I’m not at all a sports fan, but even I can appreciate this humor. Sorry if you’ve already seen it (I actually saw it last week and was just reminded of it). My favorite line: “It’s ok, he can afford one, don’t worry.”
