I believe I'd brought this up in a previous post, simply because it involved a cyclist. The long story short is that some nutjob decides he needs to shoot a cyclist IN THE FUCKING HEAD because the cyclist is riding with his child on a busy street. Eviden… more »

Skip it. I wish I could just skip it all. But no, this is now the most "hellish time of the year" where greed and prodigious consumerism is king. The television is to be loathed, where adds demanding that we buybuybuy flash with nauseating, breakneck… more »

I'm sorry I didn't do my part to get more involved in the post-Thanksgiving buying frenzy, but it's not my thing and never has been. The idea that I have to be out there at some obscene time, huddling for warmth, as I wait to buy a sub-standard product… more »

Sign on a store the last few days "Open Thanksgiving Day - No Alcohol 7am to 1pm." Seriously. You have to love New England, home of the first stick-up-ass puritans who were so fucked up that liberal England was too much for them. So here we are, Th… more »

Seen on the road today: A Honda "Fit" with a trailer hitch. I have to wonder, other than to pull a person in the snow who's skitching on a cafeteria tray, what the fuck could that be for? You think it's for their trailer home? more »

Alternatively this post could be entitled "expensive clothes that suck." I think the last time I bought something from J. Crew was probably a decade ago. Since then their clothes have been marketed to someone else other than myself. They're flimsy,… more »

The article I'm referencing in the NY Times is right here: Can D.I.Y. Supplant the First-Person Shooter? And even though the article drivels on for four pages I can give you a one-word answer: NO. It's amusing that the Times ran this article. It's… more »

"Oh we're not going to let our baby watch TV..." I hear it time and again. People who are up so high on their friggen horses about television and kids. Honestly if you don't want to let your kid watch TV, fine, just don't make it seem like you're su… more »

I love a good glass of wine. White or red doesn't matter really. So, when a local wine store has a tasting I am all over it like mud on a pig. Besides, who wants to pass up a free buzz - not I! At the table featuring Italian wines, I take in the subtl… more »
