Little Hoover Dam Break
by Steve West on March 2, 2008

This week's mini-flood o' links.
Ridiculous weatherman names. These are real. My wife subjects me to #11 nightly. I hate that guy.
List and video clips of the greatest horror movie weapons. I'd use any on #11 above. Twice.
My new band name: The Low Blood Pressures
Bach's Air on bottles.
Give this guy money in advance and he claims he'll send you stuff in the mail.
Best of TV show putdowns.
Looking for that latest addition to your headless doll collection? Better hurry. According to this guy, they're selling fast.
Stand-up of the week: Pablo Francisco

Unless you're going for simple.

(Thanks, Steve... this should provide hours of profoundly pointless entertainment... and a never-ending quest for the perfect band name -- too much.)

All in a row, I *swear*: "The Emptied", "The Chippy", & "The Xantippe"

Golly! I think I'll send that guy $10 to think about me for a minute. I could use some deep contemplation! :P
Although, some star sand from Iriomote would be cool. I'd want to go there myself, though. I want to see one of those Iriomote cats I've heard so much about!!

That guy is a genius. I should have thought of it first.
But... *I* can think about you for *two* minutes for $15, Aaron -- I'm sure that I don't need to point out what a savings that is (25%!) -- what a deal! ...Or I could just do it for free. But no e-mail confirmations for that price -- sorry.

Let Loose The Pigeons!
I got a phone call today from my Service Coordinator of Prince George's County officially welcoming me and my daughter, Olivia, into the Autism Waiver program - a state funded program intended for families with an autistic child offering funds for state approved services such as Aqua therapy, Occupational community trips, Speech therapy and even respite for Brenda and I. This has been a nine year wait since getting a diagnosis for Olivia at age 2. The waiting list is horrific. Go »
Lauren the Builder
Here’s a truly heartwarming story about the bond formed between my 5-year-old daughter, Lauren, and some construction workers. I embellished it only slightly. It will make you believe that we can all make a difference when we give a child the gift of our time. Go »
Post-vacation Blues
Without going into great detail, my co-workers are muddle-brained knuckleheads that make the Keystone Kops look like a Mensa meeting. Federal sanctions are not that far-fetched. Changes will be made soon. Go »
Halloween Post #8: Geek-O'Lanterns
Happy Halloween! Celebrate this absurdly lovable holiday with a time-consuming habit of making a jack-o-lantern. Despite the inherent silliness of carving a gourd as an act of celebration, these pumpkins are very impressive. Go »
Who's In And Who's Not
Comprehensive site devoted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Gives info that can be sorted multiple ways for easy searching. Provides information on who's in, when they got in, number of times they were on the ballot, etc. Go »
