Ten Drivers I Hate In Ten Days: Day Four - Mutleys

Monday, July 31st, 2006

Mutleys: Mutleys are the morons that slow down to ten miles an hour slower than the speed limit when they see a police car in the mistaken belief that the officer will pull them over and give them a medal as a reward for driving so slow. It has never happened to them yet, but [...]

Ten Drivers I Hate In Ten Days: Day Three - Jammers

Sunday, July 30th, 2006

Jammers: Jammers are those lovely people who go the very, very end of any merge area then jam their way into traffic rather than using the merge lanes to find a safe spot to pull in before the lane ends. These people are most active in construction areas, laughing as they drive by the backed [...]

A Favor

Saturday, July 29th, 2006

If any of you have Sci-Fi Chanel or Bravo and could tape ‘Who Wants To Be A Superhero’ I would love to see the first show. It is getting surprisingly good reviews and I wouldn’t mind seeing the first one. Sadly, that isn’t a paid plug for the show or anything, we just don’t have [...]

Ten Drivers I Hate In Ten Days: Day Two - Roller Coasters

Saturday, July 29th, 2006

Roller Coasters: These special people are my personal bane, they cannot maintain a speed to save their lives, often losing fifteen miles per hour going up any hill, no matter how small, then gaining thirty miles an hour on the down side of the hill. I swear when I am behind one going up a [...]

Today In History: A Royal Wedding

Saturday, July 29th, 2006

July 29th: Today in 1981 Prince Charles married Lady Diana Spencer. Not very exciting to me really, but a talking Princess Diana doll (oops, Action Figure..) can be found here if you are interested…

Ten Drivers I Hate In Ten Days: Day One - Pushers

Friday, July 28th, 2006

Pushers: Pushers are right lane drivers that force you to follow too closely. They simply slow down to match the car behind them, not allowing the rear car to drop back. It is my theory that they are somehow using the car behind them to push them along the road, if there is no other [...]

Today In History: Robespierre Guillotined

Friday, July 28th, 2006

July 28th: Today in 1794 Maximilien Robespierre is guillotined in front of the Paris crowds for his role in the mass executions of the French Revolution. He remains a controversial figure as many debate if he was a monster or not, but there can be little doubt about his role in radicalizing the revolution. Live [...]

Happy 750th America!

Thursday, July 27th, 2006

I can’t believe I missed the big event! Normally I use Wikipedia only after checking it against other sources, but as the Onion vouches for this one I guess we can go ahead and party!

A Very Special Gleeful Gecko Event, Mark Your Calendars

Thursday, July 27th, 2006

I was recently taken aback by someone suggesting I have mellowed over the years, I haven’t mellowed, I have simply learned that ranting out loud just doesn’t get me anywhere. I am still the same happy mess of prejudices and anger that I have always been. To prove it I am having a special [...]

Thursday, July 27th, 2006

Man is not going to take the new reign of terror imposed by our large furry overlords lying down! The Swiss are leading the way in establishing rules for bears, cross this line Yogi and its curtains for you.
