digg homophobes

Seriously DIGG? Seriously?

I don’t know if it is a statement about how scared we are to offend or how offensive user generated content has become, but the “Homo” in Homo Erectus is not derogatory. The article is about how early man managed to cross the ocean. Nor is Homo sapien, Dick Cheney (though offensive for [...]

haley joel, chuck norris, and a pussy

I’m sorry, but coffee just blew out of my nose.

Walker Texas Ranger was a the worst show ever on TV, but somehow I still miss it. Nothing like a kitty to break the tension.

head on legs

Honestly, I can not believe what you are about to watch is real. It has to be an elaborate 3D animation. It’s just a giant fluffy head on spindly legs. It just has to be fake. Right?

Actually, it is a Pygmy Jerboa, and I must have one, and I will call him George.
