Happy Zombie Jesus Day!

Some random thoughts from my extended long weekend (thanks for dying AND coming back a couple days later, Jesus – four day weekend, baby!) – the high school student sitting at the table outside the liquor store when I stopped for some wine picked perhaps the single worst weekend to try to sell fundraising chocolate […]

"Even Firefox Thinks That Shit Is Ridiculous"

You love celebrity gossip, admit it.  And when I need my fix, I visit What Would Tyler Durden Do (wwtdd.com) which has some of the funniest snarky comments you'll find on the Internet (that's a pretty high bar right there!)  A recent post about the “celebrity” mother of the octuplets in California caught my eye […]

One advantage of being incredibly sick for the past few days…my first ever steroid prescription (legal, that is – back when I was a pro wrestler in the 80's, I was on the juice quite heavily of course.)  I have a very supportive family:My father-in-law: “that'll help the next time you get in a hockey […]
