Something’s up. I’m talking about a conspiracy. There’s a parody of Yesterday, the Beatles song, called Leprosy (which I originally heard on Dr. Demento in the 80s). I’ve been googling for the lyrics, but all I’ve found are some failed attempts to recite it from memory (and some inferior attempts at original parody). WHY are […]

An excellent use of blue M&Ms that for some strange reason (maybe because it seems cruel) isn’t listed on http://www.seanet.com/~balamb/sense/nonsense/: Put them on display so people will ask why you have blue M&Ms on display.

This is my photo documentary of a pretty little plant’s journey to the dark side. Check out this pretty plant. Wouldn’t it be nice to have one of these in your garden? (Hint: Probably not.)

This morning I found a snail in my yard. Judging from its sad little frown, it wasn’t completely thrilled about being picked up. I put it back where I got it, though… and I think it forgave me. I hope I didn’t interrupt anything too important.

Recently my son and I saw a spider scurry across the wall. We talked it over, and we both agreed that although spiders can be pretty fast, a speeding bullet is definitely faster.
