Top 5 things we hate about guysKatyAnn | Myspace Video I spend a lot of time online these days, between reading email and cruising the Internet in search of gainful employment. And I’ve arrived at one immutable and irrefutable conclusion… lists suck. Feel free to disagree. Feel free to argue. Feel free to accuse me …
I’m being social, by ignoring the people (and fountains) around me… so out of my way! Walking consists of two major components: moving your feet and looking ahead. If you don’t move your feet, you stay in one place. This is called standing, or, in New York, tourism. If you don’t look ahead, you run …
My employer and I parted ways last October. I wasn’t blind-sided or steamrolled by the layoff, but the hit really cleaned my clock and rung my bell. The incident was unfortunate, though inevitable. With the failing economy, the company wasn’t getting the job done on either side of the ball. They were in search of …
On the Thursday evening after it happened I sat at Charlie’s on Broadway meeting some new people. I said I couldn’t remember the last time four famous people died in one day. Which where the other two, everyone asked. Why, Sky Saxon and Johnny Hart, I said. I found only one man who knew of …
My world was shattered today regarding one of those small little truths we just wanted to believe so much. But, upon learning the truth, we must face the harsh realities of life with courage: Apparently Sesame Street characters Bert and Ernie were not named after the cop and taxi driver characters with the same names …
The New York Times has decided to have some fun at Portland’s expense in an article titled, “Can a City This Self-Serious Take a Joke?” which contains such big city literary observations as the following: “For years, many residents here have reacted with practiced apathy and amusement toward the national fascination with Portland. Outsiders and …
It’s all here at TMZ or, more traditionally, here at Reuters. Oprah’s half sister, Patricia, was put up for adoption at an early age and Oprah had never learned of her existence, until now. From Oprah.com – http://www.oprah.com/showinfo/Breaking-News-Oprah-Reveals-a-Hidden-Family-Secret

For those of you who’ve never lived with a Swede, this is exactly how dinner was prepared every day at five PM at the ancestral home in Chicago, and how it’s still done to this day here in East Portland, including the feet.
”It’s everything you love in a game, and your Mom’s going to hate it…” This is a very clever advertisement which will sell lots of Dead Space 2 units to teenagers. It’s interesting to look at in the wake of all the recent discussion of pop culture influencing people to act violently in real life. …

Note to criminals in Seattle: dress up in a green and gold suit before going on a crime spree, then everyone will think Phoenix Jones did it.

If we need to tell kids what math is useful as an adult, I would say percentages and how they relate to tipping and financing charges. Learn your percentages, kids. Take finance in college. Community Channel is the Youtube’s most popular Australian:

Casual references …
“Or… I guess,… just possibly,… it was the father in me, despite my weaknesses, flaws, and short-comings, hoping that someday I might live up to being such a hero figure to my kid – perhaps even passing down just a tiny bit of such true grit.” The Parallel Convergence Zone Mike and Jeff work together …
I realize that When the Clock Strikes (1961) is at best a campy post-noir tribute but I really like it and come back to it every now and then. It’s an oddly compelling little timepiece (groan). The female lead, Merry Anders, was born in Chicago in 1934 of Swedish, German and Irish extraction. She had …

Not sure weather it’s Ethel’s handlebar or Fred’s rug, but this classic I Love Lucy “Barbershop” scene pretty much takes my brain and gives it the Heimlich maneuver of archived gut laughs from beyond. Lucy’s eyeballs, specifically when they take that hot towel off of her face, make the entire thing for me. Which says …
