• Enlightening girls on urinal etiquette.

    Bogey: ok so, I need clarification on something.
    Me: ok
    Bogey: this is about guys: is it true (and I’ve been told this by several guys) that if you’re going to use the urinal, you need to have at least one urinal between yourself and the guy next to you?
    Me: yes, absolutely
    Me: that’s why, if [...]

  • Could I be your Paul Bunyan?

    Earlier this afternoon a co-worker of mine sent around a link to a Craigslist ad posted by another former co-worker of ours. It was epic. On the unintentional hilarity scale it was a 12 out of 10.
    One of my co-workers even blamed me for the ad, thinking I had written it. I guess [...]

  • Shave your bush.

    The wife and I were watching LOST yesterday and saw this commercial. It took me until the end to realize what they were trying to sell and as a result, how freaking brilliant this commercial is. Check it out.

    The things drunk people say never cease to amaze me.
    The wife and I were out yesterday celebrating the accomplishments of a snake-charming Irishman. We were with a large group, some of whom we knew from before, others who we had just met that day. We were having a good time, starting [...]

  • The real-life Ringer

    This really happened…
    A co-worker of mine was in some far-flung place showing people how to push buttons and happened to be staying in a hotel full of athletes in town for the Special Olympics. As he was in the lobby getting breakfast and preparing to head in to the office — wearing a shirt-and-tie and [...]

  • She catches better than Mike Furrey ever did.

    Anyone who knows me knows that I live my life by a set of rules. The rules may seem haphazard, a little nebulous and often contradictory, but if we don’t have rules then we’re just a bunch of animals running around wearing clothing.
    With that in mind, one of my rules is that dogs don’t wear [...]

  • What the hell is going on with this car?

    I don’t really think I need to say much besides the fact that we saw this car in a parking lot in west Ann Arbor. There was a little area carved out around the driver’s seat so someone could fit in, otherwise the car was filled top-to-bottom with bags of garbage and other assorted items. [...]

  • Clip the corner from my man card.

    A couple years ago — the wife tells me it was on July 1, 2007 — we bought a dog.
    Because secretly (or not-so secretly) the wife makes all the decisions, we bought a tiny papillon and named it Ginny Weasley. That’s right, after the character from Harry Potter.
    Anyway, as the past two years have gone [...]
