My house was built in the 60’s. We tiled the bathroom and kitchen with vintage British tile from, yes you guessed it. Now meet the latest addition to the retro family:
As you can see, furniture makers were producing some pretty sweet designs with barrels and Naugahyde back in the Summer of Love.
In addition to cracking me up [...]
This afternoon, while on my daily, draining five-mile run, I happened upon an iconic fantasy: a young woman washing her car in a white tank top. The teenage boy in me got excited. I flashed to the movie Wild Things.
Then she turned around.
This woman looked nothing like Denise Richards! Not only was there a dearth of suds, there was [...]
Apparently, some drivers in Sheridan, WY can’t distinguish between “dry road” and “wet cement.”
So that’s what those BRIGHT ORANGE SAFETY CONES are for!
Just imagine the expression of the road crew members who have to jackhammer her out….
Is there a dumbass award for soccer moms? (Or is the white mini van enough of a gimme?)
Thanks to Mark [...]
Well, now I’ve seen everything:
“Winner gets meat, hide and head.” Wow. Just–wow.
Well, it looks like Wilbur has had his revenge! If you buy into the fear machine, “the other white meat” is poised to eradicate humanity from the globe.

Me: I quit caffeine for awhile. (Shudders.) I don’t sleep well. I need it to wake up.
Friend: I needed [...]
Yesterday started off with a fast. There was a medical reason for it: another test. A gastric emptying study.
I was paying for the pleasure of eating some unknown breakfast-type food laced with some unknown radioactive-type substance (barium?) and then lying down inside a scary-looking machine which recorded how quickly/slowly/if ever I digested it.
Of course, I [...]
I’ve lived in Wyoming long enough to notice some patterns. One of the most recognizable is in the way the state likes to present itself. Yes, the state as a whole has a persona. Most do, I suppose; we just don’t think about the smaller ones all that much. But picture New York, California or Florida: [...]
I have no idea what I was thinking. I won’t justify my actions. Call it hunger, call it stupidity. I just got my tooth (#19 for those of you in the dental know) drilled and filled. For this, my gums were shot full with two needles worth of some unknown numbing agent. Call it Novocaine.
At work, a quick [...]
