Surviving Gunshots and Stabbings

On TV, people always survive gunshot wounds and stabbings. Always. They get shot in the shoulder in a gunfight, they're fine. Stabbed in the side by a mugger, piece of cake. That gives skinny guys lik...

Coming Soon to a Theater Near You.

I really love movies. But I was thinking about it, and for the most part, movies suck. I mean they used to be great, but going to the movies now isn't even fun anymore. Because someone asks you to go ...

Clamburger, Extra Mayo. And Extra Fiddling.

I was contemplating auditioning for Saturday Night Live, but I don't know if I'm unfunny enough. Why do cars always tell me to go first when at a 4-way stop sign when it is I who clearly (and purposel...

It's Simply Splashtastic

I was at Wisconsin Dells recently, which is like one of the easiest ways to almost have a good time. Its fun and cheap though, so it rocks. Plus it is super white up there; whites dominate the upper l...
