Rider Fans = Neanderthals?

The person who submitted this Letter to the Editor to the Calgary Herald didn't give their title.  But I suspect it might be “Agent for Henry Burris”. 

Saturday Snap – My Christmas Themed Walking Cast

As promised last week, here's a pic of the cast I got last Friday to replace the one I've had since I broke my leg a month ago.   When the cast technician asked what colour I wanted, I said “Red or green would be festive” and he goes, “You know, I could probably do both…”  […]

"A Master's Degree in Archive Management? What does that even mean?"

Last night, Jon Stewart had some fun discussing the Master of Library Science's sister degree, the Master of Archival Studies.  (Fast forward to 1:40).

Whoo-hoo, I'm A College Man!

From the “How Dumb Am I?” files:  A couple of my toes have been a greyish shade of blue since I got my cast on a couple weeks ago.  I thought it was the blue colouring from the cast wearing off or something.  Yeah, you're not supposed to get a cast wet so how could […]

Really? Microsoft? Really???

The Reddit title for this video pretty much sums it up…uhm, anybody wanna come to a Win7 party at my house on uhm, how about February 30th?

Some Pace Cuteness – Soundbite Edition

I told this one on Facebook but I don't think I put it on the blog.  A few nights ago Pace was throwing toys so I gave him a time-out in his room.  Then we hear his little voice: “Mom – backpack!”  Shea goes in to see what he means and gives him the backpack […]

Friday Fun Link – Funny Facebook Threads (Sept 11, 2009)

[2009-09-17 – Edit: “b” and “c” aren't that close on the keyboard so I wonder what sort of a Freudian slip it was to type “Facecook” in the subject line of this post originally?] A minor trend I've noticed lately is people posting screen caps of funny Facebook threads they come across…“Michael Jackson is dead?““OMG!  […]
