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.
Smart dog or dumb dog? Breeds ranked by intelligence.
Interesting website that challenges people to re-create now, a photo from then. Some are quite surreal and pretty amusing. Youngme - Nowme.
Ballpark promotions that went wrong.

Various images that made me laugh (sometimes humorlessly):
Current resident
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?

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!

The one outlier was a weimereiner...however you spell it. I don't condemn that breed, though. :)

Post-Delaware Staycation

The last leg of our vacation was a trip to Dutch Wonderland in Lancaster, PA. This is a pretty terrific amusement park for kids, I mean little kids. Most of the rides are designed for children between the ages 6 & 10. Go »

Welcome To Steve's World

Is anyone else offended by the automatic deodorizing spray dispenser in public bathrooms? It offends me when I’m standing at the urinal and that’s when it decides to spritz. Like it’s somehow recognized that an emergency deodorizing event is occurring and needs attention. Go »

Mariah and the Subtle Burn

Recent conversation with Brenda (after hearing All I Want for Christmas... again): Me: Mariah Carey beginning with "I don't want a lot for Christmas..." and then revealing she wants "you" is kind of a burn, Brenda: She could mean that she doesn't want a lot of other gifts and only wants her man friend.
