Great caution sign
Posted September 27th, 2007 by MikeI thought this was by far the best “caution wet floor” sign I have ever seen. I mean…I do NOT want to take a fall like the little icon dude is.
Subprime Beanies
Posted September 25th, 2007 by MikeThe other day my daughter wanted to go into a little gift shop to buy a beanie baby. As luck would have it, they were having a 2 for $7 sale on the lil’ critters. The problem was, she only had $5 from her allowance. In an instant our child re-invented financing. “Can I just [...]

Atheist Blog Comment
Posted September 22nd, 2007 by MikeGenerally I don’t approve ‘anonymous’ blog comments, and quietly trash them. I thought this one was too illustrative to trash, though. This is from the Chinese pictures post: If you are going to mention god, then you must believe in one. I suppose that no atheist can then even mention God, a god, or a [...]

Chinese Toy Factory Pictures
Posted September 20th, 2007 by MikeCheck this out. I was really moved by these pictures. I initially thought it was for the obvious politics du jour reasons, but none of these made sense. Is it because they are Chinese being “exploited”? No. These same pictures could have been taken in the U.S. just a couple decades ago. Is it because [...]
Pit Bull or Vick witness?
Posted September 20th, 2007 by MikeHeh….I’m not sure if this is more of a commentary of the dogs or the people. Some of the names found in Melton’s documents are the same as names mentioned in an indictment against Vick, Brown said. Brown said he is not sure if the names mentioned are names of dogs or nicknames for people.

Mall rudenicity
Posted September 17th, 2007 by MikeA story of mall rudeness at Express from our friend Sallie. You know you’re in trouble when you get schooled in manners by the people who work at a computer game store. BTW, I’ll be out o’ pocket again for the next day or two.
Put them out to pasture
Posted September 17th, 2007 by MikeFields? Ponies? Butterflies and wholesome outdoor goodness? Forget it. What we really need is more retail space. Yeah, that’s just what we need around highway 280. The Atlantization of Birmingham continues.

The Colonoscopy Underground
Posted September 17th, 2007 by MikeI had one of these this morning. There, I admit it. Typically you don’t really have one until you’re 50 or so. But due to some troubles, my doc said I had to have one. When I found out, I started quietly asking around. Turns out that about 50% of my guy friends in my [...]

Communists in Mexico?
Posted September 14th, 2007 by MikeApparently the “Popular Revolutionary Army” is blowing stuff up in Mexico. This group is a Marxist Leftist group. Can you imagine the extent of the response if Marxist-Leninist revolutionaries were becoming powerful in a country that bordered the U.S. say, 20 years ago? Couple that with a Socialist revolution by a charismatic leader in Venezuela…who [...]

Complexity vs. the beach
Posted September 11th, 2007 by MikeA couple days ago on our daily drive to school, my daughter asked me a question: “What’s your name?” she asked, with a clever smile betraying her intent. “Mike”, I replied. “Spell it” she followed. “M-I-K-E”, I said. NO! it’s “I-T”…I said “spell IT“! She exclaimed victoriously. We had a good laugh, then I realized [...]

Bama support group materials needed
Posted September 10th, 2007 by MikeAs an Auburn alum, I was wondering if any Bama fans out there had any used study guides, workbooks, etc. from their support group sessions over the last few years. We’re probably going to need them. I realize they may be very used, but you can erase all your answers, coach names, predictions of a [...]

Alfonso Ribeiro – Breakin’ and Poppin’
Posted September 7th, 2007 by MikeVICTORY! I remember searching for this video a couple years back after a 30 something friend of mine who claimed to grow up in the 80′s could not recall the commercial. Even my brother and I made fun of this commercial. It didn’t even have the “well…it is kind of cool” tag at the end [...]

Bridges and taxes
Posted September 7th, 2007 by MikeRemember how the MN bridge collapse is due to Republican low taxes, prayer in schools, and lack of affordable healthcare for all? Well it looks like the neo-Socialist utopia of Canada has some bridge problems too. Sure, they got to them before they collapsed. But that’s only because they allow gay marriage.

Patriot act in judicial trouble

Background check for snack foods
Posted September 5th, 2007 by MikeSo it seems to be getting easier and easier to get arrested. If the guy was on meth, isn’t there some reason to arrest him that is related to that?
