One and One-half Is Not the Same As Two
by Steve West on March 15, 2012
Recent conversation with Brenda:
me: There are not two scoops of raisins in my Raisin Bran.
Brenda: Excuse me?
me: There appears to be less than two scoops of raisins in my cereal box.
Brenda: You can tell this by looking at the top of the cereal?
me: Don't be silly, I dumped it all out, sifted out the raisins, and put it back in the box.
Brenda: So now we have a box of Bran without Raisin.
me: I'll put them back but as you can clearly see, there is absolutely no way that is two scoops.
Brenda: What if their scoop is smaller than yours? Maybe they should switch to an even smaller scoop and claim there are 50 scoops in every box.
me: You are taking all the fun out of this.
Brenda: Eat some breakfast - you'll feel better.

An Open Letter to Trump Voters
I'm not mad at you that Clinton lost; I didn't vote for her either. I'm unconcerned that we have different politics. And I don't think less of you because you vote one way and I vote another. Go »Just In Time For Voting
Although I'm partial to the Aaron v. Steve Dunn tête-à-têtes, it seems ironic that UOAS took the opportunity to push for a vote. Despicable. Go »Watch Your Step

I was in my car stopped at a light after going to Giant when two jokers pulled beside me and made motions for me to roll down my window. They drunkenly started shouting, "Hi, Santa! What are ya gonna bring me for Christmas this year?" Go »Tattooing's Last Frontier
Aside from internal organs, there doesn't seem to have been any body part un-tattooed except for the eyeball. Until now. Colored contact lenses weren't good enough for this guy and I really expect him to be the first guy with a spleen tattoo. Go »
