We taught my son that if gets a “boo-boo” all he has to do is get it kissed and everything feels all better. It has worked out really well. Instead of major crying fits he just walks up to us calmly presents the injured area and says “kiss it”. The problem is south park has [...]

Well I was cruising for new feeds an I came across the flickr blog which had a nice bit of cognitive dissonance as you see above. Oh and I installed WP 2.5 and I wanted to try it out. Then I discovered that image uploads for a great many installs are broken in 2.5 [...]

I just saw a CNN Headline news um… headline… about the NFL looking to start things going in UK and Europe and I had my own “deep thoughts”:
If the NFL opens a European branch does it become the LFN?
Even funnier, in a “small world” sense, is where I found the image.

There is a certain individual I know who says something that cracks me up at least once a day Monday through Thursday. I have long desired to share this levity with Rubinium readers and I have decided to start now. To be clear I have great respect for this individual but he says the darnedest [...]

Large break-away brick wall, Pegasus statue, and Pierce Brosnan not included. I’m sure you could rig it for theme song though. Tanks-a-lot has been around for a while I think. I seem to vaguely remember them being some sort of scandal when a criminal had bought one of their tanks and was wreaking havoc years [...]

In this case I am referring to a gift from my mother to my son but it impacts my wife. The gift is a talking toy vacuum. Seems innocuous enough. I am sure my mother had no idea that it was a talking vacuum that would fling criticisms of our hygiene as my son walked [...]

Stan the stick figure sketcher’s hand was forced by an ignorant manager. Initially Stan started with an illustration of the radiation symbol and skull and crossbones. However Stan’s manager did [...]

An event that both technophiles and juveniles will be celebrating for years to come. A new type of high altitude derigible, capable of acting in place of a satellite relay at a fraction of the cost was successfully tested over the Mojave desert. Simultaneously a new type of high insult derogitory, capable of putting down [...]

I have grown to love Flickr’s explore pages. Just simply incredible photos by so many different talented people out there. It is another great example of what the internet was made to do.
I have always thoroughly enjoyed caution drawings (aka Stick Figures in Peril). My father owns a commercial print shop and the presses have [...]

A little bit of levity tonight. My border terriers love whipped cream. I am not sure how this started. But, I am pretty sure that my first with Heather, Kasha, once accidentally got some and developped a pavlovian response to the sound of a whipped cream can. Tzimmes, presumably picked up this practice, like many [...]
