Merry Christmas!

That is all. The bulk of our day was spent watching some guy who shouts "Live action!" every four minutes.

Winner Is

I only see loser's here. I award 72 :doh:s to LongHorn Steakhouse.

Four Kinds of Tie Knots

The traction drive spring for the Husqvarna 10530 SBE is part #532180926.

What would be so bad about this: - Keep the electoral college count the same way it is now. - Round to the nearest whole number the electoral […]

Ditch Daylight Savings Time

Let's just go to Swatch Time. Remember that one? Just kidding about the Swatch Time. Not kidding about ditching DST. I hate when the sun sets before 5pm. 😛
