A guy who purchased his lovely wife a pocket Taser for their anniversary submitted this:
Last weekend I saw something at Larry’s Pistol & Pawn Shop that sparked my interest. The occasion was our 15th anniversary and I was looking for a little something extra for my wife Julie. What I came across was a 100,000-volt, pocket/purse-sized taser. The effects of the taser were supposed to be short lived, with no long-term adverse affect on your assailant, allowing her adequate time to retreat to safety….??
WAY TOO COOL! Long story short, I bought the device and brought it home. I loaded two AAA batteries in the darn thing and pushed the button. Nothing! Read the rest of this entry »
Even I, the one beer wonderkid, has been known to enjoy a brew with my pizza. Beer and pizza, they just go together. But nothing could prepare me for this: Pizza Beer. That’s right, “ale brewed with oregano, basil, tomato, and garlic.” What do you think noodads? You can buy some here.
By now you may have heard of Paramount’s live action G.I. Joe movie set to release in August 2009. The studio has been slowly releasing photos of the characters. Here is Scarlett in her cartoon glory and her live action counterpart played by Rachel Nichols. What do you think?
I almost forgot about Darda racing, then a guy I am following on Twitter reminded me with this video.
Any kid from age 3 to 93 will love this video. Be careful though as the music is not super age appropriate. I almost forgot about these awesome tracks. I had a bunch in the 80s and I think I’ll try to pick some up and play them with my boy. He will eat them up.
I recently read an article in Wired magazine that challenged my perception of autism. Reading the article sort of felt the same way as when I was first exposed to homosexuality in college. I was a corn-fed, Midwestern young man who was raised on Northeast-Ohio idealism. Anything that was not normal was either not talked about or was weird. I felt like a pioneer in Ohio just because I had broken away from listening to popular music and was into bands like Ministry, Nine Inch Nails, Dead Milkmen and Public Image Ltd. A new friend of mine came out to our crew when someone in the residence hall found out that there was a gay person living on our floor. The Midwest back then (maybe still) was pretty brutal about stereotypes and this guy challenged everything that I knew about homosexuality. For all intents and purposes, he was an All-American dude living his life on a slightly different path than society would expect from looking at him. He let us ask a ton of questions and changed our perceptions. With the Internet not as prolific, the world was a smaller place and information was limited to immediate surroundings or what we sought out through reading books, magazines and TV.
At my son’s birthday party at an indoor sports center, Foodad pointed out this gem to me. The town is Milford, Massachusetts and apparently they didn’t want to abbreviate Catholic. I bet attendance will be high at these games.
