Okay, excellent time-waster here. Smack the Pingu! Cute graphics, great game! A yeti hitting a falling penguin for distance, baseball style. I can't seem to get the image to save into my computer and so you'll have to trust me on this. Our top score is 537.4 -- good luck!

I have a rant, and I think you'll either agree with me wholeheartedly or completely flame me over this. I cannot stand it when a woman insists on hyphenating her married name with her maiden name. To see people saddled with two or three surnames is just mean-spirited. I understand that women want to express their independence and their non-subjugation to their husband, but stop thinking about yourself for a moment... THINK OF THE CHILDREN! I know several children who have thei...

Thank you SGT Andy Cockrell! Your undying loathing of Carter was the inspiration for this article... Well, the world seems to think that everything is George W. Bush's fault. Nope, guys. It goes much farther back than that, trust me on this. Follow my logic, if you will back to 1977... Sources: Information Please ; Inflation Rates from Economic History Resources 1977: Carter pardons Vietnam draft evaders. This totally empowered an entire movement to think that civil disobe...

Iran's President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, is at it again. Mere months after threatening to blow Israel off the map with his soon-to-be-acquired nuclear weapons, the Prez of Iran is saber rattling again. From the New York Times : President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran expressed doubt on Thursday that the Holocaust took place and suggested that Israel be moved to Europe. His comments, reported by Iran's official news agency IRNA from a news conference he gave in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, f...

Took the wife and kids to the Maryland Science Center on Saturday. Just got pictures back of me in a "compromising position". They had a physics of the circus display, including a bungee trapeze. So dummy me, I decided to try it. Yes, me. All 240 pounds of me. So here is the image captured for eternity: Yeah, that's attractive. That is true grace. Only problem with that gadget: it gave me a mega-wedgie!

Driving home tonight and saw this out my car window: Yikes, can you see the inscription on the book? The left side has a menorah and says "Happy Hanukkah". The right side has several multi-colored candles and says "Happy Kwanzaa". Happy everything to all, and to all a PC season!

This is the funniest sentence in the English language: I never said I loved you. If you say it with different emphasis on each word, you get six entirely different sentences. Try it for yourself! I never said I loved you. I never said I loved you. I never said I loved you. I never said I loved you. I never said I loved you. And, my personal favorite... I never said I loved you.

Yep, it is that time of year... I mean, decade... I mean, ummm... century... where the record book stands up and cheers. Time to move the '72 Dolphins down a line and make room for the '05 Indianapolis Colts! I am absolutely behind anything Tony Dungy has to do to get the Colts to 16-0. Except get Peyton Manning hurt. Or Edgerrin James. Or, in the process, lose the Super Bowl. Is it about the ring, or is it about the undefeated season? Hmmm... maybe it is the ring after all...

From Reuters : U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld argued on Tuesday that the guerrillas fighting U.S.-led foreign forces and the American-backed government in Iraq do not deserve to be called an "insurgency." Asked at a Pentagon news conference why he did not think the word insurgency applied to enemy forces in Iraq, Rumsfeld said he had "an epiphany." "I've thought about it. And, over the weekend, I thought to myself, you know, that gives them a greater legitimacy than they seem to ...

I was tempted to put 'Zero Tolerance' in the title rather than the subtitle so I could get more looks, but I held back. U.S. air marshals on Wednesday shot and killed an American Airlines passenger who claimed to be carrying a bomb in his backpack at Miami International Airport. He was disembarking from a flight that had just arrived at Miami from Medellin, Colombia. Let me get this straight: a man who had just landed in America starts breaking for the door, pushing through the crowd...

I hate salt. Salting is the worst thing anyone can do to the roads. Driving in it is the worst thing you can do to your car. It's just bad bad bad. First of all, it allows salty residue to build up in the undercarriage and frame of your car. Eventually your car looks like this: Or my old car from Minnesota, where the rust wore through the underside of the paint job. It looked like it was riddled with bullet holes. And everything around you goes to pot, as well. Examine thi...

So the trial of Saddam Hussein has begun. The question isn't how will it end, but when will the trigger be pulled? Does anyone think he's getting a trial that isn't already decided? Does anyone think Saddam will walk? I'm on the edge of my seat! From the Washington Post : The trial of Saddam Hussein is just beginning, and already it has become an utterly compelling made-for-TV spectacle. The Iraqis, in this case, have proved to be precocious students; clearly they understand all t...

My kids are so funny. We just moved here from Texas, so this is our first true winter since 1998. We're not used to snow. We're not familliar with snow. We see movies about snow, but we just don't seem to get any snow. Not the real lasting kind, certainly. We had ice storms in Texas, but no real snow of any volume. So last night my kids were in a tizzy. The weather forecast predicted 2-5 inches of snow for us, as much as 6-10 inches down in northern Virginia (sorry Dr. Guy and Pseud...
