A Formal Apology

Tuesday, January 25th, 2005

Sorry for all the potty humor as of late. It’s been readily available in my daily drudgery. I’ll try and filter the low-brow stuff to only the clever items.

Word of the Day

Tuesday, January 25th, 2005

Today’s word of the day is: epiphenomenon
An epiphenomenon is a secondary phenomenon that occurs as a result of another and remains a complice. In the blogging world, you might attribute the photo-blog as an epiphenomenon to the weblog itself.

What Brought you Here?

Friday, January 21st, 2005

I’ve just tabulated a list of terms people had hoped to learn more about by visiting my site. Here they are to further confuse those searching:

“Navistar CXT”
“naked men”
“scrotal saftey commision”
“missile balloons”
“Gavin DeGraw”
“Gradin”
“Doonesberry”
“scrotal saftey”

It’s interesting to note that people were more interested in a “Scrotal Safety Commission” than actual scrotal safety. Job hunters, I [...]

After the inauguration of George Bush yesterday, little Bush is given some conciliatory attention following the rather exciting event.

Mucous /myoo’ kuss/

Thursday, January 20th, 2005

When I get a cold or severe allergy attacks, there is a sudden twinge inside one nostril that sets me off. I think it’s normally my right nostril, which effects my right eye and causes it to redden and weep. During the twinge, I’m super-susceptible to allergens and smells. The least little [...]

Same-Sex Marriage (Speaking of Faith)

Thursday, January 20th, 2005

I listened to “Speaking of Faith” this evening on NPR. The program was about same-sex marriages and the opinions of two Evangelical Christians. I was able to hear the first, Richard Mouw, before I retired from my car in the driveway. It was probably one of the best discussions I’ve heard of [...]

Smell-O-Vision

Wednesday, January 19th, 2005

I’m fairly certain I recall a movie (comedy, I’m guessing) in which the idea of Smell-O-Vision was rekindled. It was in the 80′s, I think. Anyone remember such a show? A quick search brought me the historical facts, which made me laugh.

Huygen’s Update

Tuesday, January 18th, 2005

Despite recent exposure to a “communications glitch,” I am continually impressed by what we’re seeing from this latest celestial achievment. Getting images, let alone audio, from Titan is just awesome! Generically speaking, it’s just some rocks on dirt in a orangish environment. Could be mistaken for Mars under poor lighting conditions.

Europe Unveils the Biggest SUV Ever

Tuesday, January 18th, 2005

A new passenger jet, the SkyPig (a.k.a. Airbus A380), was debuted recently to the excitement of European engineers and pimps. The double-decker airliner can seat 555 passengers in all ranges of comfortable seating and has boogers bigger than the Boeing 747 (not really, though it does has a huge, bulbous nose-cone). There are [...]
