On the one hand, I want to say, “who knew it would come to this,” but on the other, well, it figures: Dustin Diamon, AKA Screech from “Saved by the Bell,” is the latest celebrity to have a sex tape released to the public. See also stories on TMZ.com here, here, and here. That last… Continue reading The Dirty Screech

Stump Wikipedia
I think we should start a new game: “What Can’t You Find on Wikipedia?”, or, alternatively, “Stump Wikipedia”. Seriously, they have over 1.4 million articles now, and it keeps going up. Is there a ceiling? Although you have to stick to real subjects… you can’t punch something in like “nitrate waffles” and expect a legitimate… Continue reading Stump Wikipedia

The sandwich meme
Apparently today was “sandwich day” over on Slashfood and it made me think of something I’ve been meaning to share for a while. Something you’ll probably think sounds gross at first. Most people do.

The diversion class was the kind with the driving simulator—whenever you’re involved in an accident this is the type of class… Continue reading Diversion

Compare and contrast
Compare and contrast this: Global warming over the coming century could mean a return of temperatures last seen in the age of the dinosaur and lead to the extinction of up to half of all species, a scientist said on Thursday. With this: The earliest civilizations were not a product of favorable conditions but rather… Continue reading Compare and contrast
Pets are expensive
Our Labor Day weekend itself was decent enough overall, but Sunday night we had to take our oldest cat to the emergency pet hospital because he’d been acting weird all day, and by the evening was seemingly in serious pain. Turned out he had stones in his bladder and was all blocked up. Since our… Continue reading Pets are expensive
