  • backstory

    ,

    I would love to know the back story that lead up to the video of a person on a scooter running into two cars, another scooter and a bus before finally plunging into a well or a caisson or a pit of despair. There’s got to be one hell of a good story here. Was Read.

  • FLING!

    ,

    I just can’t stop watching this and snorting every time it flings the trash all over the sidewalk. I’ll probably still be here when you wake up tomorrow morning, giggling hysterically. And, just to put the needed dark spin on it: This is a vision of the robot apocalypse. We won’t be killed off by Read.

  • man-eating chair

    ,

    Is it just me, or does the Inada DreamWave massaging chair look like the kind of soul-sucking weaponized Lay-Z-Boy used by the villain of a sci-fi movie to make Our Hero scream like an infant? Read.

  • interrogative

    ,

    I started to type “Why does 68 degrees feel cold in the winter and warm in the summer?” I got only as far as “why does” when the spirit of Dr. Suess furnished me with this page out of Green Eggs and Ham, if Green Eggs and Ham had included a page where Sam-I-Am wanders Read.

    I’ve been on the road for a couple days in the service of the Great State of Wisconsin, which means that I haven’t had a decent cup of coffee until just this morning.

  • Bugs, Mr. Rico!

    There’s been a lot of publicity lately for a book I just finished reading, “Spacesuit: Fashioning Apollo,” and all of it has been along the lines of “From Bras to Space Suits,” or some such nonsense. It’s a much more fascinating book than all the hype makes it out to be, not least because it Read.

    According to today’s puzzling meme, I’m supposed to feel secure in the national sense because of deer hunters: A blogger added up the deer license sales in just a handful of states and arrived at a striking conclusion: There were over 600,000 hunters this season in the state of Wisconsin .. Allow me to restate Read.

    Maybe I’m missing the point of this meme, but to me, your argument is invalid when you start with the premise that North Korea, Afghanistan and Iran are better than the US because they shoot people who cross their borders. Read.

    Sarah Palin? She just stomps around and makes noise. She’s a political Godzilla. – My Darling B Read.

  • Sunday morning brain vomit

    ,

    I’m pretty sure this is the weirdest thing you’ll see all day. Let me know if I’m wrong. “Provide two (2) forms of identification …” That parenthetical aside has always bugged me. Always. I’ve had a long, weird admiration for legalese since I learned how to write, but the addition of that parenthetical numeral has Read.
