Be careful what you send people, they may just laugh at you with the world watching

January 23, 2009

This is just funny and clever stuff because it is in context. The dogs leaping into the pool isn’t bad viewing either.

And if you are a lawyer or a company with a lawyer and feel the need to send me a cease and desist letter, for anything I have done, said or will do and [...]

Why do we keep eating?

January 17, 2009

Why do we eat? The simple answer would be that if we did not eat, we would die. But that is not entirely true. Science can provide us with a pill we can take that would provide exactly the nutrition we need — no more, no less — to keep our bodies healthy. Yet, we [...]

Round up all the web geeks and pelt them with pebbles

January 12, 2009

I just spent the last hour of my life fighting with some CSS that works perfectly in Safari and MESI 7.0, but not in MSIE 6.0 or the “standards compliant” Firefox whatever version it is now. Since I am working pre-coffee, pre-office hours from a laptop on my kitchen table, I don’t have the luxury [...]

How to look clueless on Twitter in three easy steps

December 3, 2008

Recently, one of the folks I follow sent out a tweet about a teacher who is selling sponsorship on the bottom of his test. The tweet went like:
I am in advertising, but even I think this is a bad idea.
So, being a good follower, I click on the link to the story, read it [...]

Disappearing males?

November 25, 2008

This is an interesting video and it appears as if males are disappearing. The video concludes that that is is becasue of the chemicals we’re producing, but as a male of the canine species, I’d like to posit another theory:
Mommybloggers
Ok, not specifically mommybloggers, but everything they represent. The mommies have all bonded into this huge [...]

Truemors was being goofy.

November 17, 2008

So here are my comments to 
Palin Calls Bloggers “Kids in Pajamas…in Their Parents’ Home”
Here is the quote from the Fox News site:
–QUOTE–
VAN SUSTEREN: Is there anything else that has been raised or said about you in the media, either during the convention — I mean, during the campaign or since the campaign ended, that you [...]

Do they talk american?

October 18, 2008

Here’s a tip when running for President of the United States of America: Pay attention in English class.
From an email on October 18, 2008 from the McCain/Palin camp, they write:
Help John McCain and Sarah Palin win in November!
With less than 18 days until Election Day our volunteer activities are in full swing. With your help [...]

We didn’t start the fire either

October 13, 2008

A couple weeks ago, Ryan Healy wrote a blog post about how Baby Boomers screwed up the world and how GenY is going to “fix” it. After turning it over in my 40+ brain a bit (Boomers like to think things through before yapping off; part of our charm) here are some observations about the [...]

The kids are alright!

August 3, 2008

I was walking along on Friday and I hear these voices from around the corner. “Mow that lawn straight!” “Don’t talk to me, keep working,” “Turn that mower around,” “Watch the edge,” “Mow AROUND the bush, not in it.” etc…
As I turned the corner, we saw two kids, 12-13 years old. One was mowing [...]

Email and peeing…

July 30, 2008

Reposted from a July 29, 2008 blog entry on Media Post. Not terribly exciting news when a dog does it, but when people start “multi-tasking” to this level, makes news….
About 59% of email users said that they check their messages while in the bathroom–up 6 percentage points from last year, according to AOL Mail’s [...]

Eat dessert first

July 14, 2008

I read the Wall Street Journal. I have since I was a young puppy when I got my first job at Dog Pound, Inc. While my peers always flipped to the Money sections, checked the stock quotes, etc., the first section I read was MarketPlace. This is where all the “life” bits happened which drove [...]

Memorial Day

May 22, 2008

As I was lifting my leg to bless the Englewood Independent lying on my doorstep this morning, the front page article caught my eye. So, I bent down to read it before soaking it. The main headline read “Memorial Day: Remembering those who preserve freedom.”
It was a good article about Air Force Capt. Bob Everdeen [...]

Averaging averages

May 19, 2008

Spend a weekend watching the news on TV. I did and here is what I conclude.

News anchors are really, really stupid and shallow people.
No news we like means we’ll just make up news
There can only be 3-5 news stories on TV at any one time, REGARDLESS of how many news channels you have in your [...]

Appeasing the under-educated white guy

May 18, 2008

Since Hillary’s win in North Carolina last Tuesday, the “news cycle” has been all about how Barack Obama is going to get the “under-educated, white man” vote. After watching news story after news story on this, a very large question suddenly dawned on me:
When did this country get to the point where the under-educated, white [...]

Hillary is going nowhere

May 8, 2008

As I was lifting my leg to relieve myself on the newspaper this evening, I noticed an article in the Wall Street Journal that said ‘Democrats look to life after Clinton.’ Well, that is an odd thing to say. Life after Clinton? Really?
Hillary Clinton may never become president, but she will become even more [...]

Clinging to my walks

April 18, 2008

I recently had the opportunity to take a ride through Red State America along Hwy 35 through southern Ohio, West Virginia and onto Interstate 64. The ride was a bit odd as I emerged from Dayton, the rich, white, mall-laden Beavercreek into the hills, holler and trailer-park homes that lined 35 for miles upon miles.
I [...]

Friday mornings and Rumpke always get me high…

April 11, 2008

High blood pressure, that is. I have found that my Friday morning walks consist of picking up bits of trash strewn about by the careless, lazy and stupid monkeys working for Rumpke. I know that you probably have unreasonable trash pickup quotas to meet, but the goal is to get the garbage IN THE TRUCK, [...]

What I think about the writers’ strike

November 27, 2007

I was going to stay silent on this, but one too many people used the term “their fair share” and that just sent me over the edge.
Writers should get compensated for their skills. God knows, there are very few talented, MARKETABLE writers out there who can actually deliver a product within specification and deadline. [...]

The City of Englewood at it again!

March 19, 2007

I recently received a mailer from Rumpke regarding the change in our trash removal service. It had a few more details than the official City newsletter had. I called the City of Englewood to clarify the “one bulk item” definition. As I do most of my own home-improvement projects as a hobby and relaxation, I [...]

The media is all wrong… again

November 14, 2006

Once again, the media has gotten it all wrong. I’m going to step out and say that America didn’t vote “the other guy” because they were unhappy about the war in Iraq.
Oh, now don’t get your underwear in a bunch. They are unhappy about the war in Iraq, but that is not why they [...]
