And this is why →
So my hopes the Dem’s post election unity wouldn’t devolve into their usual petty special interest bickering that keeps them as a party from getting anything useful done have pretty much been dashed. However, unlike so many people, that’s not going to send me scuttling to the republicans like some pea brained crab that can only hold onto one idea at a time. They’re still...

Dear News Outlets
It is not a chupacabra, it is a dead coyote rendered hairless from mange some crazy lady keeps in her freezer. Please stop reporting on this and pretending it’s something mysterious.

So I saw Pat Robertson has decided God was punishing Haiti because they supposedly made a deal with the devil back in the 1790s to oust the french. Never-mind the country is ~96% christian. When Pat Robertson dies I’m going to have to remember to attribute his death to God being pissed at him.

Why Best Buy Continues to Prove 'they are not' →
I loath Best Buy and its ‘pack of hyenas on a sickly gazelle’ mentality when it comes to its customers. I know all stores seek to separate the consumer from their money, but Best Buy has always seems far more offensive than other places. They’re just unabashedly unscrupulous with the giant wad of shit they try to feed people. They sell a lot of electronics and ‘big...

So not a computer in a modern sense, but the thing is amazing considering it was built ~ around 150BC. Hell its amazing for today being a fully mechanical calendar and astrological event timer.
Everytime it gets cold
So it got cold here, so everyone is running around going LOL global warming, as though one incident of anecdotal evidence is proof global warming is a lie. So if they’re going to do that then I get to present my anecdotal evidence spanning three decades.
We used to have to take in our plants and cover the rest for a couple of days at least 3 or 4 times a winter. That hasn’t happened...

Murphy's Law
Why is it when you’re waiting for someone to pick you up something to eat the more hungry you are the longer it take?
Awkward moments
Do you ever peek out your blinds to take a look outside and somebody just happens to be walking by and they just happen to be looking over as you peek out?

Rule 34
So I just saw district 9, yeah I know I’m behind the times. Out of curiosity, wanting to see if there was any additional information about the movie as I found it intriguing, I hit the internets. And immediately found porn of movie’s aliens… and no I wasn’t looking. Thanks to the internet I’ve seen a lot of things I’d rather have not, but it has left me so...

Non-viral Contagious Cancer in Tasmanian Devils →
I’ve known about the cancerous plight of the Tasmanian devils for some time now. Their cantankerous dispositions have been spreading a lethal cancer through out the species and is apparently threatening to wipe them out. Originally I remember hearing they thought it was being caused by a virus, but now they seem to think the cancer its self is infectious, rather than being caused by an...
