Will My Wii Wreck My Wordly Woes?

I was traveling through lower Michigan and to my gleeful surprise I saw bridge graffiti that almost keeps up with the legacy of the works of art seen on various overpasses in north east Ohio. I grew up around great pieces such as 'kid needs ya big time bad dude', 'wushu Vickie', 'I love u der dragon', 'Jesus saves- if you recycle', 'mom 47'. All of these examples were changed over the years to the state that they were in before removal via repainting or rebuilding. These amalgamations created truly wonder land marks. What I saw just south of Flint was an example of modified bridge art. It must have started with "I 'heart' my girlfriend". By the time I saw the bridge the heart was blacked out and the I was modified to a K. P-O-R was then added which resulted in the masterpiece 'PORK my girlfriend'. Brilliant!

The guy who tried to pay a bank deficit with a drawing of a seven legged spider is at it again. This time he has a new neighbor that has not invited him to a house warming party.

The snow tonight was magnificent. I don't have much experience dealing with snowmobiles, but I have dealt with boats, and that understanding of displacement is the only way that I can begin to describe the beauty that I saw while the snow FLEW away from the Polaris's skis. Like so much much cold, dry water, it flew away and away from the wind.

"We Chose The Tug Boat Because The Shove, Jar and Jolt Boats Were All Too Expensive

Thanks to great inventive heroes such as these we have an explanation for such wonderful things we may just use every day and take for granted.

I'm buying this for my nephew. And one for myself.

I knew, shortly after cleaning my pants, that this storage facility was THE storage facility to top all storage facilities.


I used to watch this guy's commercials while still living in Ohio. I just love the Son Of Ghoul cameo at the end!


More stupid commercials.

Tourettes related compulsions to swear are not reserved to those that actually speak. Signers too!

The Benny Hillifier! Add the fun tune 'Wacky Sax' to any YouTube video. This is lots of fun!

Funny, but not funny.

Imagine that you are having a few drinks with acquaintances from work. One thing leads to another and an argument ensues. The topic of that argument? Fictional donkeys. Now you can break out the old iphone and look up this wiki page.

I have no idea what these guys are doing with hammers, tape, explosives, and what looks like some kind of carnival.

Arts time.

Would someone please install this browser and tell me if it is for real. It might not work for me.

We Must Be Vigilant To Prevent The Horrors That Are Living Room Based Jellyfish Attacks




After a few weeks of good snow and rather cold temperatures the lake started to look drowsy. Preparing for a winters nap while letting off some steam. This particular morning was just over 10 degrees and the wild had been calm all night. The funny thing about these shots that were taken on the eighth display a scene a far-cry different than what was seen this morning. The wind was most definitely not calm, blowing around 25 mph, frothing up the lake enough to disrupt the ferry schedule. The last two days were quite warm melting much of the snow and leaving the slushy streets to freeze overnight. The wind did not help with the icy streets this morning, pushing man and snowmobile all over the roads that it had polished to a shiny gloss with blowing snow. More snow will on top of that 4 inch thick layer of street ice and everything with be right again.

Classroom Prank Goes Horribly Hillariously) Wrong

Following a physics class roof top egg drop at Hoover High School in North Canton Ohio, a student threw the intact egg at a fellow student causing a fall down a flight of stairs and a trip to the MRI scanner (machine?).

Falkland Islands- Bad Loans Have Made Them Mine!

The last time I was in the Dallas area I delivered myself into the company of someone that I cared for quite a bit for the last time. Her family received me with as much warmth as they ever had shown me. A young cousin asked me things of the future that I dodged. Grandfather and I discussed my ability to hold my own... pointless... That being said-

As we sat around the table before Thanksgiving dinner holding hands, we were asked to pass on to the others around us a few things that we were thankful for. After a few lives, loves, friends, and families, it worked out to be my turn. I thanked that table for cell phones, trying to explain that I was happy to get my holiday conversation with my mother taken care of all the way in Texas. As these words came from my mouth I became more and more mortified that I had thanked a higher being for cell phones in the presence of devout Catholics. I'll never forget that embarrassment. What came out of my mouth was not my intended thought...

Squirrel fishing.

Spray Cheese? Why Not Spray Crackers? Fewer Crumbs In The Bed!

I can't say I have too much of an opinion about tattoos. Tramp stamps, tribal arm bands, ankle trinkets, eyeball spades all seem so passe. My opinion may be steered in a new direction though now that I have been exposed to Owl Tattoos. Nothing but Owl Tattoos.

Who would have thought that there were so many flavors of Kit Kat.

Campaign for the Museum of Communism in Prague. Neat-o promotional posters.

When two worlds collide. An old man who rides bikes meets young man who rides a bike- WITH BOOM! Nice! I've been thinking about a Garden Cart Of Boom for a while now, but this kid did it better.

Chicken Soup For The Soul? Pfft... Brown Stew For The Belly!

While recovering nicely from my most recent of badger attacks, I notice clumps of my hair- still nicely fastened to my head. Man oh man! RonCo Tress Truss is a great way to refresh your balding head with the looks of your youth just by recycling bath tub hair pies. Nice product. Even works on my cat. I have also used it with great results on my chest to give that handsome Mediterranean look.

For amusement try Flip A Text.

Interesting melty ice men.
