Big news! Someone has now invented a robot that can solve the Rubik’s Cube. Before you get too impressed by that, you should know that in 7th grade, I could solve the Cube in under a minute. Before you get too impressed by that, you should also know that I cheated. I bought a book…
Check out the guy in the picture. He’s an idiot. Not for wearing a silly hat. But for gluing it to his head. With superglue. He had to go to an emergency room (one with pointless dolphins painted on the wall) to have it removed. I’m sure everyone asked the guy, “What were you thinking?” And…
I found this video on Huffington Post, where the poster wonders if it’s a depressing sign of the demise of children’s publishing. I’ll say no.
Happy Halloween! Or, if you’re reading this tomorrow, Happy Day After Halloween. For me, it’s happy for three reasons: Happy Halloween reason 1: No sixth avenue.

In my last post, I wrote about a dorky hat I wore in 6th grade, and its special water-carrying properties. I thought it was pretty cool that if a bunch of us were stranded at a campground, I could save the whole gang from dehydration by trekking to a lake or spring and hauling back…

Do they still make Very Special Episodes and After School Specials? I hope so. They were the cornerstone of my education in Things Not To Do, like drugs, drinking, drinking and driving, bingeing and puking, killing yourself, and getting molested by the nice man who owns the bicycle shop. (Poor Dudley.*) Those TV shows served…
My blog has no theme. A theme would have been ideal – like Adorable Shit My Kid Says (don’t have kid, been done) or All Things Smurf (I only owned around 12, so not qualified) or Celebrities And TV Characters On Injectable Or Snortable Drugs (hmmm, not bad, actually). I’m sure somewhere out there is…
