Similes and metaphors are like, whatever

This year’s collection of high school similes and metaphors.  I bet every teacher in the country looks forward to this assignment: Her face was a perfect oval, like a circle that had its two sides gently compressed by a thigh Master. His thoughts tumbled in his head, making and breaking alliances like underpants in a dryer without Cling Free. He… (more…)

Addicted to coffee?

I was reading Steven Taylor over at Poliblog who took this little survey thingy only to find out he was ONLY 92% addicted to coffee. Now, my coffee consumption amuses just about everyone I’m associated with. I start my morning off re-heating last night’s pot. I drop Moonlet off at daycare and rush to the office to start my next… (more…)

Those wild and crazy pageant babes are still at it apparently.

This story is just plum goofy. A former Miss USA has bonded out of jail after she was arrested Saturday at DFW Airport on a public intoxication charge, according to MyFoxDFW.com. Shannon Marketic, a resident of Dallas, was named Miss USA in 1992….. Marketic said she had some loose vitamins and prescription pills in her carry-on bag, and when she… (more…)

Girls kicked off bus for kissing?

OK, here’s the headline: Girls say driver kicked them off bus for kissing Basically the major media laughs it off as a bus driver over-reacting to a sensual moment between to perfectly innocent little girls.  Something all peeps would enjoy viewing.  However, that’s not really the image that was on display.  Ya see, this is what the two girls look… (more…)

Jessica Alba is as American as apple pie

Jessica Alba stirred up a bit of controversy recently by claiming she’s American, as in United States, moreso than she’s Latino, as in Mexican.  This of course, is due to the fact that the last three generations of her family have been US citizens.  Now, I could care less what lineage she thinks she is.  And, I could care even… (more…)

Boycotting Hairspray?

Apparently the gay community has decided that since Travolta is a Scientologist, they’re boycotting Hairspray. However, I tend to like the Scientologist view on this issue more than theirs. They are saying they try to help with anything detrimental to your well-being. Kinda like Buddhism, except pushier. So, in theory, one could be gay, happy with it, and Scientology would… (more…)

Fun night for Nancy Drew?

This is just too funny if you try to picture it: Gives Rise of the Silver Surfer a whole new meaning. (from CollegeHumor)

New Use for Scotch Tape?

According to the email I got, all of these were made from Scotch Tape. Click on the picture to see lots more. If anyone has a clue what this actually is I’d love to hear it.

Sunset at the Maldives

sunset_ at_the_maldives, originally uploaded by Yasir Photos. Yasir on Flickr asked me to be his buddy. I don’t know why. More often than not it’s spam or just idiots wanting to show off. However, when I checked out Yasir’s pics, I was stunned. This may be my favorite he’s taken. Maybe not. He has are tons of great shots. Apparently… (more…)

Forget American Idol

Britain is where the only real talent is this year apparently. Watch this:
