Dakody was very quiet as he sat on the porch waiting for his mother to arrive. His shirt was buttoned, his pants were clean, his hair was neat, and on his lap was his Art 101 Artist Kit. Sharon was in the kitchen, pretending she wasn’t watching him. The summer was over, and Teresa was […]

One day in my early 20s my dad sat me down to teach me an important lesson that his dad had once taught him: How to sharpen a set of knives by hand. We spent the next couple of hours carefully honing his set of blades with an old-fashioned whetstone. And I walked away with […]

Just a seahorse? Just a fun, cute seahorse? Just an intricate, interesting line drawing? That’s all there is here, right? HA! FOOLED YOU! You see, there are, in fact, 17 cats hidden in this drawing. Look closely. Like, very closely. Like, use a microscope, because they’re hidden good. For example, in the eye hole, four […]

Oh sure, you little twerps like to look down your mandibles at an insect like me just because I don’t participate in all this. What do you call what you’re doing again?

Think of the Sony Bloggie as a smart phone without all the stuff you don’t need – like the part that makes calls, or the part that accesses the internet, or the part that lets you play games, or the texting part. Instead, it gives you just the MOST essential feature: the ability to photograph […]

You might think you’re original for coming up with some kind of clever pun based on the name “Sheets Energy Strips,” but we assure you they’re way ahead of you. Yeah. They did that. On purpose. They looked at their product, a brightly-colored, sweet-tasting, totally-not-at-all-marketed-to-children-because-that-would-be-dangerous energy strip and said, “Hey. How can we get people […]

Lesley was back at Ruttles again, looking for the perfect “anniversary of the day we discovered we both love Pad Thai” gift for Brant. Most of Jimmy’s encounters with Lesley were entertaining, to say the least. But on this occasion, it was particularly difficult for him to keep a straight face. “I need something really […]

“And now, ladies and gentlemen, to close out this year’s Young Thespian’s Summer Drama Club, we present to you an original monologue written and performed by a very talented young lady. Please give a warm round of applause to Olivia!” As Tim watched Olivia walk out to the middle of the stage and into the […]

Look, Internet, we really shouldn’t have to say stuff like this, but here goes: if you’re going to use this PENTAX 16MP Optio camera with 18X Optical Zoom for any sort of illicit behavior like, say, taking naked photos of yourself or maybe photographing yourself crapping in the ground beef at your job at Taco […]
