What'd I Step In?

Things stuck to the bottom of my internet shoe.
Things not to do while wearing briefs made of beef jerky. (Besides wearing briefs made of beef jerky)
Venezuelans believe children should not watch The Simpsons, offer more wholesome fare instead.
One way to nearly guarantee you'll never lose your wedding ring. I hope this is photoshopped (and when did this become an acceptable verb, anyway).
Flags of the world redefined with graphic legends.

European Union
Colombia
China
Brazil

Nerve.com's opinion of The 50 Greatest Comedy Sketches Of All Time. Video clips of most of them.
I showed this picture to my wife. She said, "Oh yes, that's our new remote."

Christmas Tree Shopping
We finally went out and got our Christmas tree. Lauren and I trekked to the local Knights of St. Mickey who offer good trees annually and they're pretty nice folks. Go »
Dumb Criminals And Other Court Type Stuff
Small potpourri of MENSA reject criminals, frivolous lawsuits and just dumb laws. Cupcake Burglar; Cheeseburger Lawsuit; Drunken Sock Eater; Saggy Trouser Law; and Goofy Streaker. The most shocking story to me is this last one in which a victimized Kirsten Dunst had her room burgled and items stolen including a $13,000 handbag. Go »
Out of the Closet and into the Stratosphere
So Tom Cruise wants to go into outer space and meet aliens. I think I can scrounge together a few bucks for a one-way ticket. Any other takers? Go »
The Peak of Stupidity
By far, the stupidest thing I ever did was at my brother's bachelor party almost 40 years ago. The memory of it still haunts me.
