Airing My Dirty Nasty Landry

Airing My Dirty Nasty Landry

I clicked on a thing the other day and was taken to the Samsung webpage for some front-loading washers.  Beautiful page. Bad English. And bad ad copy. To wit, I know that Samsung is a Chinese company but OMG.  They need to hire some English-speaking proofreaders, and...

Finalist in Strong Scenes Contest

Finalist in Strong Scenes Contest

I am a finalist in the Strong Scenes Contest for September 2010. I'm hoping everyone will go there, read the 3 short scenes, and vote for the best. It's mine, of course, but it's a free nation.  You're allowed to have bad taste.  The rest of us get to make fun of you...

Overs vs. Unders: The Great Toilet Paper Debate

Overs vs. Unders: The Great Toilet Paper Debate

  Over Is Right, Under Is Wrong Just the other day, I had to change toilet paper rolls in two of our three bathrooms.  I didn't realize it at the time but that small event made me completely ecstatic. You see, I'm an "Over" and my wife is an "Under." Let me...

Review – Meeting Mr. Wrong

Review – Meeting Mr. Wrong

 "Don't email me if you want a supermodel. I'm twenty-two, divorced, and I have twins. I'm also overweight, unattractive, and have no education to speak of. I'm pretty much not going to bring anything to the table except the fact that I'm pretty nice and won't ask you...

The Pontiac Aztek, a True American Invention

The Pontiac Aztek, a True American Invention

My only regret, Front Wheel Drive. In 2001, when the Pontiac Aztek first came out, it was reviled as one of the ugliest cars ever made.  At the auto show where it was released, the GM executives even apologized for its look. GM stated at that same show that they...

The Case of the Discolored Pepperoni

The Case of the Discolored Pepperoni

Can you blame me for adding stuff to it? By the time anyone reads this, I'll have been through the experience and we can all laugh about it.  But right now, the pain is tearing my insides out and I can't keep liquids down.  That's right, yours truly is suffering from...
