It’s so cold that stainless flatware is sticking to tongues.
Hitchhikers are holding pictures of thumbs.
My optician is giving away free ice scrapers with every new pair of glasses.
Starbucks is starting a new product line: Coffee on a stick.
We’re taking everything out of the [...]

Some of you may be wondering, what happened to the Chile Underground, your favorite website. (This is your favorite site, yes?) Others may even be worried. Frantic’s okay too. Just don’t rush over here, looking to save the day. It’s saved, already. Not that I feel any better about it this morning.
Hangover, don’tcha know. [...]

Father O’Toole storms angrily into a pub in Limerick. As far as the eye can [...]

Today is the Ides of March, according to historical tradition. It’s the day that Julius Caesar passed on. Legend has it that he died violently at the hands of his best friend, Brutus.

The power companies are sending letters of condolence with their bills.
Opticians are giving away [...]

I felt bad all day. I’m sure it couldn’t be due to overeating on Thanksgiving like a hungry pig at a trough of fresh acorns. Some of my nephews have had the swine H1N1 influenza, but that was weeks ago; they can’t still be infectious, can they? Not that I’m paranoid or anything, you [...]

Question: Which side of the turkey has the most feathers?
Don’t think about it too much, now; you might get a painful brain sprain. You wouldn’t want me to have that on my conscience during the Holidays, would you? Good. Besides, the answer’s pretty obvious. (I hope.)
Now that we’ve got that out of the way, [...]

I’m on the road today, home tomorrow. Enjoying the first big rain in south Texas in years! We gotta go clear some trees that are down on the road or I won’t be home tomorrow. So in the meantime, here’s a good bad joke for you…
Boudreaux, Thibideaux, Pierre, Trusclair and Old Man John were playing [...]
