Hollywood: Crapping on Everything.

      No Comments on Hollywood: Crapping on Everything.

Ugh. This is going to suck. I can’t comment on the two younger (I guess?) comics, but neither Wiig nor McCarthy are funny. Wiig continues the stupid/annoying act that Will Ferrell is famous for. Being loud and stupid isn’t talent. I don’t even know what is wrong with McCarthy. Both of them are obnoxious — and the original movies were… Read more »

Manspreading, Manslamming: Stop the Micro-Aggressions.

Lately this has been all in the news — to the extent only some under-inflated balls could make it go away. Mandspreading, it seems, is sitting with a wide stance on public transportation. Manslamming is the newer of the two, and that refers to the act of playing chicken when walking in public: Who moves first? These are both considered… Read more »

Women Don’t Want “Nice Guys”

      No Comments on Women Don’t Want “Nice Guys”

And let me start with why Nice Guys is in quotes: I’ve been on the internet a long time and a lot of so-called nice guys aren’t. They’re weird borderline aspeger’s types who feel entitled. You aren’t entitled. I won’t go as far as the Nice Guys of OKCupid thing in crucifying them, but it’s pretty clear that women aren’t… Read more »

Avoid Poison

      No Comments on Avoid Poison

We are, as a species, programmed to avoid things that are poisonous. Ophidiophobia and arachnophobia are simply out of control variations on a natural aversion to snakes and spiders: they may be poisonous, so our ape-brain just wants nothing to do with them. These are two of the more common phobias, but our overreaction to poison isn’t just limited to… Read more »

Juicing with Danger

      4 Comments on Juicing with Danger

Well, I finished the Fit Juice Trilogy, and I’m determined to juice as many days a week as possible. This is juice as in vegetables, not juice as in steroids, for those of you late to the party. I recommend the books to anyone who is looking for a good primer and a collection of recipes. I’ll break the review… Read more »

FitJuice Affiliate Link

      No Comments on FitJuice Affiliate Link

I’m also going to add this to the side bar: I highly recommend Fit Juice and have been reading it for a long time. Before I got bogged down with some stupid personal issues and let my knee depression throw me into a funk, I was juicing every day with a slightly modified version of his Real V8 juice. I… Read more »

Mean Spirited “Jokes” about Christians

      1 Comment on Mean Spirited “Jokes” about Christians

During the holidays, the wife and I watched a few stand-up comedians on Netflix and Amazon. Unfortunately more than once I had to turn it off or simply tuned them out because they ruined a good act with a tried, true, and quite frankly old bit: They decided to mock religion. But guess which one? The same one every time:… Read more »
