So after Stig returned from Iceland, he thought it would be kind of cool to put up one of those big maps with pins in all the places he had been (he traveled via Panama City and Osaka). Unfortunately, Stig doesn't have any free wall space. After we argued for a bit about whether he should take down ...

<likewise>It's the MTV generation. Today's sarcastic kids won't stand for anything like that when there are boundless hip alternatives...</likewise> <sarcasm> I think you own me... </sarcasm> We can agree on that. Don't you love typos? :-D (Hmm... maybe Mike's right and emoticons do work best!)

After beating the snot out of each other one day, Stig and I discussed ways of bringing lasting peace to the world. Military deterrents? Forget it. Economic sanctions? Punchless. Public ridicule? Now you're talking... Simply add the following amendment to the UN charter: Should any nation declare wa...

When Stig was on vacation up in Iceland recently, we used a chat program to keep in touch. Unfortunately, we wound up having a huge argument when I said soemthing sarcastic that Stig thought was meant literally, and we didn't speak with one another for a week afterwards. Couldn't this type of misund...

Darn it, why should my kids have it any better than I did? I fully intend to put them through every miserable experience I went through...

Oh, all right, it's a good idea.

So if Mother Nature were really on the ball, she'd go straight to five-leaf clovers, and get us to believe they're unlucky...

I'll post a reply to this a bit later...

Blast from the past, test!

Movie theater chairs like that were once very much en vogue in the golden age of pulp skiffy shockers, but died out a long time ago...

Powerful magnets indeed!

Yes, everyone knows that Harry Potter's latest is being released today, but how often have you gone to a book or record store and noticed that something new had been released by your favorite less-well-known author or artist six months ago without you notincing? It happens to Stig and me all the tim...

I just picked up Neil Gaiman's Smoke and Mirrors - great book, but the cover is purple, with silver lettering, giving it the aura of a cheap supermarket romance novel. How am I supposed to read that on the subway? (See? This really is a traffic-related idea...) A couple years ago, Filth (Irvine Wels...

Now there's a bovcott just waiting to happen!

Good idea - although an inventory of rotten fruit might cause some problems...

No 5am shift for me, please...

Great idea, though!

The stink from a (non-fake :-D ) cigarette might not be as bad as your average bathroom stall, but to my knowledge stall odor doesn't carry any health risks (or annoy the heck out of folks with contacts). It's not just about smell. Michael may disagree, but I think rcwlee's idea is great. The only c...
