Question: If every night you could have one singer serenade you, who would that singer be? My Answer: None of the pop stars count. Celine Dion is out, regardless of the number of ballads she's taken to the top of the charts. I don't know enough about the classic singers to make an educated choice. […]

Etan pointed me at Effortless Improvement, which says: Effortless Improvement uses subliminal messaging to aid in the cure of excess weight, low self esteem, addiction and much more, while you use your Macintosh. I'm giving it a go on my Mac right now. So far, though, no nubile Swiss women have appeared at my doorway. […]

So as I just said not too long ago, I'm picking up a copy of Madden 2004 for my PS2 tomorrow. Only after having laid down the money for the game do I bother to read the reviews, and here's what I find: Speaking of finances, once the preseason is completed, that's when you're able […]

Some people are not content just to paddle their kayaks and catch a bass or two. Nooooooo sir! Some people like to catch shark on their kayak. Yep - thresher shark to be specific. We don't have many sharks over here (that I know of - I could be completely wrong), but we have got […]

Picked up a copy of Midnight Club II tonight for the PS2. You can play it online, and Rob and his nephew already have copies. I'll have to play a little tonight if I can. I pre-ordered Madden 2004 for the PS2 (screw Nintendo - I'd have bought it for the GameCube if I could […]

Question: If you could eliminate one main color (purple, green, blue, red, black, white, brown, etc.) from existence, what color would get the heave-ho? My Answer: I'm going to have to go with orange. Even though it's one of my favorite colors, I think red and yellow could more than make up for its loss. […]

Call me a jackass (no, really), but I love it when rich people act like children. It somehow makes the world seem a bit more fair. "It's the billionaires fighting the millionaires," Jennings says. "The haves vs. the have-mores -- fun for the press," La Costa Beach homeowner Jodi Siegler says. The debate? Whether - […]

Question: If you could set a national age of consent, what would it be? My Answer: Though I know far too many people who only half-jokingly say things like "if there's grass in the field, play ball," my answer is a very solid, very firm "18." You are encouraged to answer the Question of the […]

Two things I learned today: You can not ship pornographic movies to the state of Florida (and a few other states). Sex and the City is pornography. In other words, I attempted to pre-order an entire collection of Sex and the City DVDs and was told by the DVD site (I won't say which) that […]

Some things I learned tonight on the Apartment Pond as I will now call the pond in the middle of my apartment complex: If you paddle really hard around in a circle, you can catch your own wake (until you tire out). I need scupper plugs for a few of my scuppers. I need a […]
