Note the restraint on my part, because every other pop culture sight would have posted a picture of Ashley from when she was 2 on Full House. Personally, I just don’t buy the whole Lance Armstrong as Jesus thing. I think he roided and his record with women seems very suspect, but in this case …

The Confidence Game
Here’s a sad truth for you all and they even teach it in Game Theory courses. All relationships are decided by power and apathy. They are all confidence games.
Leave Jim Morrison Alone!
Blender just named Jim Morrison the 10th worst lyricist of all time, which is patently absurd. People love to mock Jim because he was a sloppy drunk and wanted to be a poet. OK, he was a sloppy drunk, but aiming high(poetry) is no reason to mock someone and it’s gone on for far too …
Who wants to be a team player?
Are you a team player? The whole notion of team play in business is one of the biggest piles of crap ever unleashed upon the world.
Long Limbed Girl
Man it’s spooky how you can see something on TV that totally fits the malaise that you are in and exactly what you are thinking about.
Dane Cook
I’ve always thought Dane Cook neither deserved his plaudits or his derision. He’s just a competant stand up, nothing special, but I just finally put my finger on it. He’s Howie Mandel’s more annoying son. And you all were too busy listening to Steven Wright and Sam Kinison. $$$
The Unalarming Disappearance of Wilbur Post
Ahh, the love between a man and his horse! I wrote this dark tribute to my daily collegiate habit for a creative writing class in 1987. Half the class loved it, the other half didn’t get that it was about the show Mr. Ed, which I thought was perfect. It’s still one of the favorite …

A religious quandry
Which is worse: not believing in God or believing that he exists and is out to get you?
The most self pity-ing speech of all time
Rummaging through my files I found this from my sister’s wedding. Never ask someone who has just gone through a hard break up to speak at a wedding. I hearby alpologize to anyone unfortunate to have to sit through the following awkward moment.
The genius of LA football
Everyone always wonders how there can be no football teams in Los Angeles when it is such a good market. Today, I couldn’t watch the Patriots – Colts, a game some are calling the greatest ever, because legally they have to show the pathetic Cleveland Browns. I’m too old to be a fan. L.A. has …
You know you are going through a tough period when …
Ever been so lonely you keep updating your email so much you find your self praying for spam? Aren’t there any home business ideas I’d be interested in? Doesn’t someone need me to pass along a chain? I need Viagra! Are all the Nigerian Princesses safe? I’m even ready for your forwarded emails on the …

The resemblance isn’t just physical
The scab is from Lucy pulling out the football.
Our legal system at work
Only like 1700 people wanted refunds for the James Frey – Oprah flap or $27,348, and who could blame them for not going through the hassle to get like $15 dollars. $783,000 of course went to legal fees.
Long Distance Runner Dies
Top distance runner Ryan Shay died during the U.S. men’s Olympic marathon trials Saturday. That settles it – no long distance running for me.
Another so called racist bites the dust
I’d love to eliminate all racism. I don’t know a thing about Duane “Dog” Chapman and on the face of it, things may seem to work when a racist takes a fall, but something about it makes me worry in an Orwellian sense.
