When the new Shins record came out, my first thought was along the lines of “I bet Colin is going to like this record.” I thought that because 1- Colin liked their last record, but, more importantly, 2- because he likes The Smiths. This is the smithsiest Shins record there is, and probably the smithsiest […]

Jon Swift has a great post about Conservapedia.  He does a great job looking for articles that, um…  substantiate the feeling that Conservapedia is..  uh… way better.  Especially kangaroos. I wonder if the Conservapedia will have the concept of conservafying, like wikipedia does of wikifying.  Because that is a job that, I suspect, many people […]

At The Debate Link, in a post about a recent poll, it was pointed out that “Hillary Clinton and John Edwards only beat Romney (whom Obama smokes).” I got a good chuckle out of this, as I often do, imagining my senator rolling up Romney into a giant joint, with Romney’s face aghast as he […]

If anyone has any idea where I can find specific issues of the Saturday Evening Post, let me know. I’ve just decided that I want one or both of the following issues of the SEP: October 14, 1916 December 9, 1916 If anyone knows how or where to go, let me know. In the meantime, […]

I mention this because the Toothpaste For Dinner link I had was incorrect and instead took you to toothepastefordinner.com, with an E after tooth. It […]

A long, long time ago, my mother  would make me go to the fabric store with her all the time.  It was terribly boring, and it smelled bad.  Around this same period of time, my grandmother gave me a Wuzzles sleeping bag for Christmas.  I loved it, and pretty much exclusively slept in it for […]

Now that I’m back into the whole sitting in front of the computer mode again, I’ve been busily catching up on all the internews that I’ve missed so far. Language Log linked to a post by Ed Crayton from a few weeks ago about Conservapedia, a conservative answer to Wikipedia, which is apparently anti-Christian and […]

As a recent commenter pointed out, I haven’t actually been a good blogger.  I have two responses to that.  1- I know I’m not a good blogger.  My last three blogs have proved this beyond doubt.  But also, 2- I’ve been on vacation for the past several weeks, so there.  I suppose I could have […]
