Weekly dose of morbidity.
Humor from a master.
Do you think like a psychopath?
Video of the week: Cartman does football color commentary.

OK, that psychopath thing wasn't fair! Just because you can tell why doesn't mean you would be like that!

Good links, though.

So, we can all assume you got the "right" answer, psycho? And more importantly, you don't know my address, right?

Adios Por Ahora

I'm a Doctor, Not a Kitchen Appliance!

My toaster has a timer on it that let's you know when it's finished. It seems a little silly to add a timer beeping that's a redundant addition to the toast loudly popping up from the machine that means the same thing.

Christmas and a Lizard's Tale

One Christmas when Lauren was eight, like a lot of girls her age, wished for a pony. My backyard at the time was about the size of a Volkswagen Minibus.
