Being a dead controversial figure does not come without unintended consequences. I’ve started to see the following on several news/blog aggregate sites: Largely due to his reputation, some reporters appeared hesitant to repeat word of his death out of fear that it may have been a hoax. That really brings up an interesting point. Why [...]

While watching TV the other day I caught reference to something called “night soil” that I had never heard of before… so I looked it up. I found that night soil is the soil recovered from places outhouses used to (or still currently) stand. During the period of time that outhouses were in use, they [...]

Morning Amnesia
January 31st, 2011 by Clme · No Comments
Its 6:30am on Saturday morning and I hear an alarm start to go off. I open my eyes and try to find the source of the sound, only to find myself struck by the unfamiliarity of my environment. At first I’m just confused because I seem to be fully dressed, and still wearing my shoes. [...]

Let me preface this post by saying that I do not watch “Dancing with the Stars”. My television watching over the last few months has consisted mostly of NCIS, South Park, and Opinion-News shows. So I was a little confused when I saw an article stating that the show had caused a 15 hour standoff [...]

You can teach a demon manners…
May 10th, 2010 by Clme · No Comments
Some parents are better at suppressing their children’s evil tendencies than others… in fact, others seem to encourage them. Anyone that has ever visited a Wal-Mart can tell you that. However, even with the good ones, occasionally the attempts to teach their young demon-vessel some civilized manners can backfire. Take the case of a friend [...]

Mario was not a good plumber.

You know, after spending a few hours playing the new Super Mario game on the Wii, it occurred to me that Mario and Luigi were not very good plumbers. I’m not sure why the Mushroom Kingdom has kept them on retainer for so long. I mean, seriously, have you ever had problems with animals coming [...]

Why do I continue to be surprised?

I just did a search for “Why do I continually lose faith in humanity” but Google answered the question for me before I finished typing: I lose faith in humanity somewhere between the discharge and the Indian smelling. If you’re interested in how the “Google Suggest” feature works, check out this page on Google for [...]

The Savannah Dialogues
June 8th, 2009 by fenomas · 2 Comments
I was recently moved to read a little piece of moral turpentine entitled “Dr. Tiller: Who will mourn your casualties?” So moved in fact, that I have humbly undertaken to pen a tribute. It is, with characteristic restraint, entitled: Dr. Washington, What Would Minnie Think? Characters Socrates, a Greek Dr. Ellis Washington, professor of law [...]

We have Pepsi products.

I recently took a break from downloading Sarah Palin ‘look-alike’ pornography in order to go out to dinner with some friends. Unfortunately our first few restaurant choices had extremely long wait times, so we ended up at a kind of seedy joint that I had eaten at a few times in the past. I had [...]
