You Know You Are a Badass When…

…1) You have 570 billion pageviews. A tad ahead of the The Great Wahl.

…2) You get sh*tcanned…for sh*tting in a can at ESPN (because you have uncontrollable IBS). Mr. Pancake feels your pain.

…3) You command the army in one of the most important wars of the modern world, you run a [...]

Connectivity Issues

mickelson_phil_krispy_kreme_500

I’ve received a few complaints this week that I’ve been slacking on my posting. For that, I apologize. But my slumlord has a Dell desktop from like 1998 running Windows XP with no WiFi, so he needs the direct ethernet cable from the modem. And we don’t have a router right now (my family [...]

Stuff For Kids Who Can Read Good

EmployPopJan2010

I always find too many informative political and economic articles to share, so I’ll select a few and throw them all in to one post of important stuff you should read to get your week started:

1. Maybe we shouldn’t be blaming our leaders for not being able to lead:

A thought-provoking read from [...]

The Tastiest Burger You’ll Never Eat

Cow Prosthetics

As I have mentioned numerous times before, my brother and his family are vegans/vegetarians/tree-hugging hippies — both for health and social/environmental/ethical/animal rights reasons. That’s why I think they’ll love this story:

When Nancy Dickenson and her stepdaughter found an 11-month-old calf suffering from severe frostbite on their neighbor’s property, they knew they had to [...]

These links, if you so choose, should give you plenty of time-wasting activities today.

A Few Good People

wahlmart_cybermonday

Like Rubin and Kennedy getting their own shout out for giving me some web traffic from Prague a few weeks ago, I owe a few more people a public thank you.

John and my mom actually took advantage of the great Cafe Press free shipping deal today to buy some Great Wahl merchandise!

Black Friday

blackfriday09

A quick note on my personal thoughts regarding Black Friday: the dumbest ‘cultural’ event in the history of mankind.

People seriously get up at the ass-crack of dawn and wait in line to spend money they can’t afford to spend, all because some CEOs have brainwashed and conditioned them to do so? What a [...]

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I always thought people were idiots for choosing to live in the Upper Midwest, where it gets so cold every winter (although it’s been unseasonably warm so far this year). Then I happen see this post from Mental Floss on the coldest places in the world:

An Outsider’s View

The Independent, a British newspaper, and the Baltimore Sun are temporarily switching crime reporters. The main goal, they say, is to let the Brits see if The Wire (arguably the greatest TV show ever) is really an accurate portrayal of Baltimore’s criminal underbelly (who knew the British got HBO?), because there is some worry [...]

Delayed Start

Since I’ve been under the weather as of late, I haven’t had a chance to highlight some interesting stories. So, instead of trying to play catch up, I’m just going with a list of links for you to peruse, if you so choose.

1. There is a design company in Japan that is designing [...]
