What if I were to invent a better litterbox?
What if, say, I were to finally figure out the thing I’ve been continually trying to figure out, which is a way to thoroughly evacuate the stench from the waste left behind by my incredibly dainty and charming cats, one of whom is currently shoving his cold [...]

Penelope: Which do you want – Granola With Raisins or Lucky Charms?
Colin: I’ll go granola.
Penelope: I think I want Lucky Charms… no, I should be healthy and eat granola too.
Colin: Okay.
Penelope [reading the side of the granola box]: Wow, this has, like, ten grams of fat.
Colin: Really?
Penelope: And 34 grams of carbohydrate-y stuff! Man, remember [...]

The other day, during an emergency lunch-hour haircut in preparation for a fancy fundraising dinner that evening, the man cutting my hair commented that he enjoys working on the street our offices share because of the fire station nearby. “Oh?” I said, as he expertly snipped at my overgrown headscape. “Oh, yes,” he answered, [...]

Ahoy! It be National Talk Like a Pirate Day, and in honor of this fine occasion I’ve taken the trouble of translating a comment from this blog into pirate talk. Later I plan on mailing out eyepatches.

Penny’s motorcycle, a 1983 Honda VF750S, is pretty much awesome. It’s all fast and everything, and complicated, and ancient, so while everything technically still works, nothing works quite the way it did when the bike was brand new, which only serves to make it more exciting.
For instance: the carburetors. They’re sort of clogged, but not [...]

“And in further news, rescue crews say they expect to find hundreds if not thousands of bodies floating in the flooded streets of New Orleans. Damages are projected in the tens of billions…”
I sit stunned on the sofa, the television flickering grief and disaster across my morning coffee. My jaw hangs open, back hunched in [...]

Subject: Worst Movie In Friggin HistoryPosted By: Grotesko43On: Mon. Sept 12 2005 12:57:14Alright, I know there will be people who disagree with me on this, but “The Flower That Drank The Moon” was the biggest pile of crap ever to flicker through a projector. It was stupid, and moronic, and pointless, and anybody who likes [...]

Okay, so the car-color question worked out okay. A few people who I was hoping would post a comment didn’t (I’m looking at you, Grace and Val) but you’re always welcome to go back and add one whenever. And hey, if you don’t have any particular feeling one way or another about the exterior finish [...]

Recognizing the possibility that I may one day run out of random crap to blab about, I am now adjusting my Offical Strategy for this weblog, and experimenting with a new approach—a paradigm dialectic, if you will. (Most wouldn’t.)
In this new dialectic, I (we) will employ (exploit) the “Comments” feature of the Blogger service by [...]

I don’t know if I’ve ever said anything to anyone that was the right thing to say, or even a good thing to say. But if there is one, even one statement I’ve made that has proven helpful, it is this:
Hard times don’t make you say, “Gosh, these times sure are hard!”Hard times make you [...]

Now that gas prices have surpassed the $3 per gallon mark, my friend Jake has seen fit to purchase a scooter. As you’d imagine, I did what I could to persuade him to choose a motorcycle instead, but his frugality got the better of him. Plus, this way he doesn’t have to go through any [...]

“…Ah, I just had a good idea for my blog. Where’s some paper? Maybe in the glovebox. I’ll open the glovebox. Crap. Everything’s falling out now. Why did I pack things in here this way, tilting outward and downward like that? Even still, I bet it would have stayed put if this road were smoother. [...]
