In Alabama, there was one bovine that tested positive for Mad Cow Disease. Apparently, the cow never entered the food chain so we’re all safe. How now mad brown cow, was a question many asked. And then, when they got over themselves, they continued to ask how the cow contracted the fatal disease in the […]

Here’s a shout out to all you Irish, part-Irish and wannabee Irish people this upcoming St. Patty’s Day! As part-Irish (and full of ire) myself, I think St. Patrick’s Day is a great time to celebrate everything green including beer and mold. In fact, green beer with green eggs and ham (sans Seuss) is a

Well, the official tally is in! Most people interviewed (meaning the few people I regularly talk to who put up with such nonsense) overwhelming say that a gazillion is worth far more than a bazillion. When asked why they chose one made-up word over another, the answers were a lot murkier. One of the more

Well, I just got back from working out at the local health club. It just kills me to see some of the trainers ducking behind the outside corner of the building for a smoke as if no one can see them. What’s also amusing is to see people circling the parking lot looking for a

Sometimes all of the forces of the universe come together and cause, well, indigestion. But other times these same forces, call them karma or kismet or even Murphy’s Law come together to provide us with the perfect spawning ground for a great visual pun. Take for instance, the upcoming Super Bowl 40 or XL as

After a particularly dream-filled night of sleep, I had a thought: Heaven is the accumulation of all of the dreams you’ve had in your lifetime. Hell is the accumulation of all of your nightmares. In the afterlife, may you live your dreams instead of your nightmares. Not particularly funny, is it? What is funny though,

I don’t know what the big deal is about the Palestinians choosing Hamas. I personally like Hamas. And, since the Palestinians chose Hamas through democratic elections, who are we to complain?
