It's the eve of 420 and you don't have to be high to enjoy the following links, but it couldn't hurt.

When this clock goes into production, it will be featured in my den.

Various images that made me laugh (sometimes humorlessly):

Your pet as a rug
If Homer's car were real
Hillbilly Christmas gift
Which is the bigger idiot - the guy dressed like this or the guy who is willing to drink?

Easiest job in the world? Caribbean weatherman. Practice that delayed over-reaction, will ya!
If I had had a treehouse like these I really would have gotten into the Guinness Book of World Records.

No way! Of all the dogs I ever met that could be classified as dumb, all but one was a lab. Any list that comes up with anything else as the dumbest dog ever is lying, and any list that puts a lab on a smartest list is full of bullshizz!

Movie moments are still stuck in my head from films I saw 30 years ago, moments that scared the crap out of me then and still run chills down my spine today.

In Slapshot, Paul Newman encourages the minor league hockey team he captains to play like goons. The team begins to have some success and the driver of the team bus joins in the spirit of gooniness. Paul Newman approaches him while he is proceeding to smack the exterior of the bus with a sledge hammer and inquires as to what he is doing. Go »

Public Service Announcement

For those of you who will be pulled over by the police and asked the inevitable question, "Because I'm smokin' hot" is not the correct answer to "Do you know why I pulled you over?" Live and learn. Go »

Where's The Winch?

We took the girls sailing today. Unlike last year, Olivia did not throw a winch handle overboard because of our diligence in preventing it. The sailing is still free because of the heart of the owner who offers this once a month during the summer. Go »

My Faith in Humanity is Restored

This is a true story I saw on a travel blog website. Late one night, a woman and her husband received the tragic news that their three-year-old grandson in Denver had been murdered by their daughter’s live-in boyfriend. The boy was being taken off life support at 9 o’clock that evening and his parents opted for organ donation which would take place immediately upon his passing. Go »
