Common Sense

This post was originally going to be titled “How much wood could a woodchipper chip if a woodchipper could chip you?” I rented Woodchipper Massacre and was all excited when I popped it into the DVD player. Dead Mary had been sort of iffy and I was looking forward to some good gore.

Or murder, I’m not sure which it would be yet.
I’ve talked before about my doppleganger on this site and I’m sure you readers thought I was being paranoid or funny or whatever. The fact is, I’m not. For many years now I’ve been confused with him by many people and I’ve even seen him. We […]

This is one of those times when I actually get to say something knowledgeable about someone famous who has passed away.

An EMT who did work on Ground Zero required special […]

I kinda wanted to see it anyway. I don’t know if any of you know this, but I happen to be a Michael Moore fan. For Fahrenheit 9/11, I managed to get my mom to drive us to Austin so we could see it together.
She was just as outraged as the rest of the audience.
Somehow, […]

Usually for the 4th of July, I repost a story I did on flag burning and taking flag worship to a level beyond what it should be. After all, what good is a symbol of freedom if you lose the freedom to use that symbol.
But this year I say “Move over Rover, and let Jimi […]

Where you just want to sleep and vomit? Well, I’m having one now.
It’s either because of my mom’s cooking or something else. I was upchucking in my trashcan before I even heard about any commutations, so that can’t be it.
It was probably a combination of bad guacamole, the increased pain I’ve been feeling because of […]
