Was Your Dog Abused?
Dog abuse is a pretty hot topic these days, especially with stories of dogs being locked in hot cars, of Animal Care and Control rescuing multitudes of dogs from hoarders, and of the Humane Society taking in puppies and dogs with tragic stories. I hear it a lot when dealing with shy, introverted, or fearful-reactive […]
Stay Classy, Connersville!
Connersville, Indiana made national news this week. And not for a good reason either. It seems they have their own version of water polo and it’s illegal. According to a WISH-TV report, a couple was charged for public indecency for having sex in a public pool. During the day. With LOTS of people around! Now, […]
You Can’t Beat A Dead Horse…
… but you can shoot a dead Camaro. Well, except in Arizona, where they frown on that sort of thing. It seems that Lauriano Lawrence Lovato, frustrated by the alliteration of his name and the fact that his car wouldn’t start, shot his car. Twice. Both shots went through the windshield and hit the dashboard.
French Toast
B-sides, outtakes and unreleased material. Sometimes stuff doesn’t make it into an movie or an album. The same thing happens with blogs for whatever reason. I was piddling around tonight and discovered some material that was started and never made it into a blog post. This particular one was from a series I was doing […]
Tweetup Tales (Part 1)
One day, an enterprising young man decided to host a tweetup. He walked proudly into his kitchen and announced to his wife, “I’m going to host a tweetup!” “What’s a tweetup?” asked his wife. “It’s a social event, where people mix and mingle and tweet for hours. And, they share a hashtag,” he answered. “Umm, […]

Plank You Very Much
When I was in college (for nearly a decade), being photographed face down in public usually was associated with some sort of consumption. Leave it to Taiwanese college girls to turn it into some sort of artistic “cause” driven activity! Is nothing beyond the reach of political correctness? Anyway, “planking” as it is known in […]
Trojans, Titles, and Artichokes
Nature (and apparently college football) abhors a vaccum. And a vaccum is exactly what the BCS Committee created yesterday when they vacated USC’s 2004 Championship. However, being the civic minded person that I am, I’ve declared a new BCS Champion for 2004. Somebody beat Oklahoma, right? It all started nearly a decade ago when the USC Trojans […]
