Out at Home Depot the other night I saw this dualie double parked diagonally across two spaces about 20 feet from the door. This sort of thing pisses me off and inspires me to dream about calling a flatbed tow truck (which is what you’d need to tow the beast away). If your vehicle doesn’t [...]

I must have been really out of it this morning because I chose the first available space when parking in a federal lot. Despite being in unfamiliar territory, it didn’t even occur to me to look along the fence for any restriction signs. I recall seeing a lot of similar looking vehicles in the row, [...]
At Least They Aren’t Being Driven to School
Posted in culture, healthcare, idiots, parenting, youth on Mar 20th, 2008
There are a lot of kids in my community that are spoiled rotten these days by their parents.
As I was running out to do some errands the other day I saw no less than nine cars parked on the side of the road, whose occupants were all waiting for their kids to be dropped off [...]
I am the proud recipient of an award. Though it stemmed from a email stemming from a blog entry comment, I was awarded the “Best Typo Ever in Life” award by Carol last week.
After years of writing silly things, I win an award. For a typo, of all things. I was speechless. I didn’t know [...]
I hosted a malt liquor tasting on Saturday night. About a dozen people turned out to rank five of the cheapest forties that I could find within a mile of my house. The brands tasted included King Cobra, St. Ides, Olde English 800, Colt 45, and Hurricane. I would have included Mickey’s and Steel Reserve [...]
Galloway Research is Calling

I’ve been getting calls from San Antonio the last couple days. I don’t know anyone there. No one ever leaves a voice mail.
I got a call from 210-507-4450 on Wednesday, January 16th at 6:44pm.
I got a call from 210-734-4346 on Thursday, January 17th at 6:37pm.
I got another call from 210-507-4450 on Friday, January 18th at [...]
I Didn’t Need a Dozen Boxes of Pseudoephedrine
Posted in complaints, healthcare, idiots, privacy on Jan 7th, 2008
When I awoke today it was clear that I was going to need to buy some cold medication. Weis opens at 6, so I drove over there on my way to work. It turns out that the “good stuff” with pseudoephedrine isn’t on the shelf anymore thanks to the Combat Methamphetamine Epidemic Act of 2005. [...]
Easily Amused and Easily Distracted
Posted in idiots, life in general on Nov 27th, 2007
I came home today, walked in the door and promptly tripped over a pair of shoes. Then I realized that there were six pairs of shoes in the entryway, all mine. It was disturbing, considering that I used to be the guy that had one or two pairs of shoes. Now its six. Scratch that, [...]
I have this habit of writing things down that make me laugh. Quotes are a big thing for me, especially on car trips. A quote can bring back memories long since forgotten. The only problem is that I occasionally misplace my notes. So here’s a few quotes from the car ride up to New Hampshire [...]

If you’ve never been to Seacrets in Ocean City, know the following. It is big. Three bars in the concert hall alone. Two outside. At least one more by the small stage. That doesn’t count the restaurant. Instead of wood, concrete, vinyl or stone floor in the concert hall, they’ve got diamond plate. They’ve got [...]
If you call a hotel to reserve a block of rooms and advertise that your guests are going to be loud and obnoxious, don’t feign surprise or become angry when hotel management comes directly to the room where the party is at. When you book a room as part of such a block, hotel management [...]
It astounds me how many young people don’t have a clue when it comes to money and taxes. Fewer still know how both relate to being a homeowner. It feels like some people go out of their way to know as little about finance as humanly possible. I don’t know if its a generational thing [...]
Fancy a Drive to McDonald’s to Pickup Playboy Magazine?
Posted in culture, food, google, idiots, oddities, web sites on Aug 5th, 2007
I dropped someone off at Office Depot to pick up a few things yesterday. I had groceries in the car so I kept it running and backed into a space in the shade facing the front door so I could see when they came out. Bear in mind that I’m about 200 feet from the [...]
The further into the projects you go the more it occurs. The more gangsta the rap artists or athlete, the worse it seems to get. It heard it on the radio this morning; the DJ was interviewing a football player. It’s just as bad as high school girls saying “like” to describe everything or people [...]
