Oh man, this is a hell of a thing to wake up to. George Carlin is dead. I’d say that he passed away, but he’d have thought that was a bullshit ideom. He’s dead.
Thank you George, for the laughs and the ponderings and the parts of me that you built. I miss you already.
Russian tanks are not rolling on Atlanta. The question of whether or not you should be "worried", however, is a bit more complex.
Check out the zany adventures of the pennyfarthing mountain bike.
I'm not sure what this debate was about, but it seems like it shifted into a determination of whether or not the Fort Hays coach was an asshole, and he seemed to be winning that handily. Actually, I think they both could make a strong case. Good show!
Did you know this about the Monkees? I had no idea.
The company hired to manage the [$1] home and sell it, the Bearing Group, boarded up the home only to find the boards stolen and used to board up another abandoned home nearby.
About that bad. Sounds like it's 'bout time to raze that block, till the soil, and grow some veggies there.
I was going to post one of the video clips from today's episode of How To Avoid The Bummer Life, but then farther down I saw something else even funnier, and realized that you'd be better off reading the whole post. So just go over and check it out. Ron's Slip and Slide Extravaganza is one hundred and thirteen percent awesome, and Urban Ninja is my new hero. That is Real Ultimate Power you can believe in, my friends. The weekend's already off on a good foot, and I just got to work, thanks Stevil!
It's as if God were pulling his blessed finger.

So, if you've been living legally in the U.S. for 15 years, and you're headed in for your final green card interview, and there's been a mix-up, you'd think it could be cleared up, right? I mean, there's no way DHS would just lock you up, refuse to treat your spinal cancer, and let you die in custody without being able to see your wife or your two children, right? Right?
Don't trust the police, no justice no peace
They got me face down, in the middle of the street

Handy legal tip: if you've done something illegal, I mean like really illegal, I mean like violated federal law, or the Constitution, or the Geneva Conventions or something like that, just tell them that you were just doing your job, and you can't be held liable.
There is an upside for all you kids going back to school at the end of the month, I hear that your school's not even going to bother teaching the Constitution anymore, so no more trying to remember which amendments are which on that test!

Was just riflin' through the internet when I noticed that another local Xtracyclerist family has posted pics of their latest seat. As Paris would say, "It's hot."
They, in turn, link to another very fine creation from The Stouts in Colorado, complete with sunshades! They also have pics on their blog of the center stand they built for it, truly outstanding.
Man. All this crafty innovation, it's givin' me the itch to build another one...
