Leap Day Snow!

Flamage!

I went to one of those Japanese restaurants where they cook in front of you last night (on a business trip).

Junk Mail

It seems I am always getting junk mail. I get junk phone calls too. People even knock on my door and ignore the "no solicitors" sign in order to try to get me to give them money. Sometimes, though, the junk mail makes me laugh as it tells me to make things bigger or some other idiotic thing! Today I had an email from Wen Hair Care Products . I've been shaving my head since late in 2003, so my question is, Will it work on my back hair?

Cutris to Host Average Person Awards

Cutris to Host Average Person Awards UnAssociated Press February 13, 2012 It was announced today that Cutris will host the upcoming Average Person Awards . With the numerous awards like the Grammys , Latin Grammys , Oscars , Golden Globes , etc., the Average Person Awards are long overdue! Curtis has experience from hosting the Caucasian Grammys on White Entertainment Television ... what??? Oh, sorry, white people are not allowed to have the equivalent of Black Entertainment Television or the Latin Grammys. For that matter, I don't think average people are allowed to receive awards for doing "average" things and living "average" lives. Cutris will not be hosting the Average Person Awards after all. We at the UnAssociated Press are sorry for wasting your time...

He didn’t know why he should feel self-conscious about where he came from. After all, he was a Kingbuttz; and the Kingbuttz family had been very influential in the town of Bastard Hollow for as long as anyone could remember. Bastard Hollow was the only place he had ever lived. That is, up until now. He was on his way to the big city where he had been accepted into Parnell University. He would be moving into a dorm on campus later that day. He was leaving everything that he loved behind—including, Mitzi Hershel Stanford; who was the prettiest girl in Bastard Hollow. He had been going steady with her for over two years. Their last meeting had been tense. Mitzi said she couldn’t wait for him. But he knew that he needed to get his education in Micro-Biology. Studying small insects and germs was all he had ever want...

Ice Crystals

We woke Saturday to a beautiful Hoar frost . Here is one of my photos.

The Fog and the Wood Chuck

In Pennsylvania, they say the Woodchuck saw his shadow this morning. Here in Minnesota it is too foggy (see photo) for that to happen! In the north, we can expect at least six more weeks of winter regardless of shadows, etc. Happy Groundhog's Day!

How to Choose a Republican Nominee

"It's so hard to choose a candidate in the Republican Primaries ," complained Jethro. "They all suck!" "You gots to look at it differ-runtly," said Cletus. "It's like when we is tryin' to get rid of the weevils before they wreck our crops." "Do tell!" said Jethro--suddenly interested in the intellectual reasoning of his friend Cletus. "Say we gots to have one kind of weevil on our farm and there ain't no two-ways about it," continued Cletus. "Only thing you got goin' fer you is that you get to pick which kind of weevil yer gonna' have to deal with." "Ya mean like a Boll weevil ? asked Jethro. "No," replied Cletus. "These is hypo-thet-icul weevils." "What kind?" asked Jethro. "Pretend the Republicans on TV is like weevils. You got a big giant weevil , and you gots a much smaller weevil ", explained Cletus. "Now if'n you could pick what ki...
