dumbshits
We woke last night to the sound of screaming. The weather was so mild that we left all the windows open, so we could clearly hear what sounded like at least two people, maybe three or more screaming their heads off somewhere down the block. B said later she was scared it was some kind… Read.

plus and minus
The weekend’s over and I didn’t get the bathroom cleaned, I didn’t fix the garage door opener and I mowed the back yard but not the front yard. On the other hand, I did fix the doors on the shed so they open now, disposed of a pile of dead wood that I kept running… Read.

smartphone
As I mention earlier, we replaced our dumb phones with smart phones. We made up a lot of reasons that sounded good for doing this but the real reason we did it is that SMART PHONES ARE AWESOME! The dumb phones we had were the pay-as-you-go type, which were fine for making phone calls. In… Read.

lonely
These are two of the loneliest cell phones in the world. Before last night, these cells went everywhere with their owners, but that was before the smart phones came along. Now, they sit untouched on an end table, gathering dust while their owners download apps, tweet and play Angry Birds. Poor little cell phones. Read.

fender
A fender washer is a circle of steel about the size of a half-dollar with a smallish hole in the middle. I had one in my collection. I needed four, so I pocketed the one as I got ready to jump into the O-mobile to head down the road so I could save big money… Read.

sleeper
We bought a sofa sleeper yesterday evening from a salesperson who wouldn’t take “yes” for an answer. We already knew what we wanted because we’d stopped by the same store the day before, talked to a different salesperson, looked at catalogs, sat on a couple of display models, then went home and, after measuring the… Read.

Who hasn’t needed this guy to save the day at least once in their lives? Read.

Plexi
If you read nothing else today, you should devote fifteen minutes to Eyeball of Providence unless, providentially, you have an appointment tomorrow with a doctor who will slice your eyeballs open and you’re feeling at all anxious about it. … if you have to have cataract surgery and have not seen “Un Chien Andalou,” the… Read.
