If You Could Only Eat One Food For The Rest Of Your Life, What Would It Be?
PIZZA! PIZZA! PIZZA! PIZZA! No question about it, no hesitation. If I could eat it every single day, for every meal, without killing myself, I probably would do just that. Nothing fancy, I prefer just cheese pizza. I’ll accept pepperonis, or even a lot of other stuff on it, as long as it doesn’t any…
WHAT THE F**K, PHOTOBUCKET?!?
Thousands of listings from online marketplaces like Amazon and eBay are now filled with unsightly error images by Photobucket after the photo hosting site quietly introduced a $399 annual fee to users who want to embed images on third party websites. Users are now accusing Photobucket of extortion, as the service failed to make the…
MY ADVICE FOR DATING A CO-WORKER. . .
Let’s face it, especially as we get older, much of our time revolves around our careers. We spend most of our days, during most of the week, at our workplace. Therefor you spend a lot of time with the people you work with, and there’s a certain familiarity that builds. Often that can turn into…
One Million or One Hundred Million?
This is a tough one for me. First, lets assume that either way, it’s after taxes. Now, all logical thought says, go for the 50/50 chance of getting the $100 million. $100 million is not just life-altering, it’s practically destiny-altering. It would give me a life of luxury and solve pretty much any problem I…
If You Could Change ONE Thing About The Comic-Book Industry, What Would It Be?
A friend posted this on Facebook last month, I figured I’d post it here today because it’s Wednesday, the day new comic-books are released. And my answer was simple: I’d go back to making single-issue stories the norm, rather the rare exception that they are now. That’s the way it was during my childhood, most…
Let’s Talk About Internet Privacy
This is in response to some reactions from my previous post: Man Harasses Woman On Facebook, Gets Exposed, Whines Like A Little Baby. . . Some people don’t like the idea of me, or others who shared this, sharing Alexandre Chbeir’s name and pictures online. What about his right to privacy? I thought I should address…

NOTE: This will be a long image-heavy post. Only open if you happen to have a fast internet connection. Cassandra Fox is a professional belly dancer. Back in January a man named Alexandre Chbeir added her on Facebook, and proceeded to send a ton of messages. I post this as a small example of the…
Which Would You Choose?
This one only took a little thought for me. I eliminated the first choice immediately. What’s so great about the moon? We already know there’s no aliens up there, which would be my only motivation for going. Plus there’s, y’know, the whole risk of DEATH to get there (and back), so no thanks. Now, a…

Modern American Conservatism Summed Up In Two Screenshots
Who’s the “snowflake” now?
KATHY GRIFFIN WAS WRONG
Not cool. Totally not cool. For the record, I have been a fan of Kathy Griffin for years. I mean, not a super-hardcore fan or anything. But back when it was on, I’d catch an episode of her TV show My Life On The D-List now and then back in the day, and I’ve enjoyed…
I Am A Victim of Credit Card Fraud

Devin Devasquez is a woman of many accomplishments. She’s a model, a Playboy Playmate, an actress, a best-selling Author, and an Emmy-winning Producer, (and she’s a right-wing conservative, but I don’t hold that against her…). She is also an ex-girlfriend of the Late Prince Rogers Nelson, who had a significant role in her life, even…
