Within a month, having smoked his entire stockpile, the man filed a claim against the insurance company, stating that […]

And so our anemic offense costs us a game once again. Six points off of three turnovers. A dropped interception at the end, some soft play, and some lame penalties. That's all she wrote. It was a good game, and the Steelers defense really played well. The offense was horrible. Tommy was cautious - and […]

Who in the hell opens messages that look like this? This is a screenshot of the subject column of my spam folder. If people didn't open spam - and worse yet - buy products advertised in spam - I wouldn't need a spam folder. That having been said, I may not need a spam folder […]

I'm on the phone with MCI again. This is the 48th time I've had to call about my $158.89. The 48th Fucking Time. Why the fuck MCI can't get their act together and just fix this is beyond me. Today alone I've been transferred to four different departments. I spoke with a supervisor who said […]

Thanks to Judi, I've implemented this method of easily handling comment spam. What I'd really like is a link that does a few things: Deletes the comment. Rebuilds the entry.

Question: How do you deal with mosquito bites? My Answer: Toothpaste. Yes, you read correctly. Dab a little toothpaste on, rub it in, and the itchy feeling goes away. It cools and comforts. I think it has to do with the fluoride or something. Anyway, it works. And believe me, I know - I just […]
