Only in Marin…. *UPDATED*
I got this picture while stopped in a traffic jam in Marin County: UPDATE: And on a related note, news you can use from Austin, Texas.

I like this doctor
I went to see a doctor this morning about my intractable migraines. (And yes, I did get useful advice, which I think will help.) The doctor was very nice, although not the most personable guy. He endeared himself to me forever, though, when he looked through my chart murmuring to

I thought you guys would enjoy the obituary that Michael “Flathead’ Blanchard wrote for himself a short time before he died at the end of a long, and apparently quite enjoyable, life (emphasis mine): Michael “Flathead” Blanchard 1944 – 2012 A Celebration of the life of Michael “Flathead” Blanchard will
Continue readingDon’t hate me because I’m beautiful.
This has to be the funniest article I can remember reading in a long time. A rather ordinary looking woman spends paragraph after paragraph re-telling how men adore her and women hate her. Physical attraction is a funny thing, so I can’t even begin to guess why, assuming she’s telling
Continue readingVery funny: drunk guy sings a capella “Bohemian Rhapsody” in the back of a police car (link fixed)
Hollywood tries to write comedies this funny, but nothing is as good as the real thing — and the real thing in this case is the drunk in the back seat of a police car who belts out a word-perfect but, sadly, not pitch perfect version of Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody,

Truly, comedy doesn’t get better than this: No obscenities, no vulgarities, no insults, just exquisite humor, riding on perfect timing.

I don’t know if this is the greatest marketing video ever, but it certainly brightened my morning:
Continue readingA magical number game you will love
I’ve posted magical number games here before, where you pick a number and manipulate it, and then the result is some inevitable cool. You guys are all smart enough to have figured out the trick, but this one is special. Really. Even if you are not a movie fan, you

Go here, and follow the directions. (Just FYI, because it was ambiguous, when she says “remember your number,” she means remember the number that results after you’ve done the subtraction.) I did it five times and she got the right answer five times. Then, if you can, please explain to
Continue readingBarack Obama called Michelle “some angry black woman.” (Not really, but Michelle’s mangled prose makes it seem so.)
On Facebook the other day, one of my friends offered her services as an English tutor — and included a grammatical error in her offer. Admittedly, it was an error that involved a usage that has been changing over time, but I still expect an English tutor to avoid this
Continue readingWhy I will never be a trendy blogger
It’s been a long day, so I thought I’d go for something frivolous in this post. What, I asked myself, are the top google searches, most of which I assume are frivolous. So I went to Google Trends. A glance at the list of the twenty top Google search terms

I have a home office and have worked alone for a long, long time. Mostly, I like it. Despite being a very social person (party! party! party! — only I won’t drink or do drugs, if you don’t mind), I really need my solitude, and a home office definitely provides

I got the funniest email today, and I just had to share it with you. The “re” line was as follows: “Gibbering baboons more sensible than you, wingnut degenerate.” I was intrigued. The rest of the email consisted of a link to a post, along with the full text of

What happened today was entirely not my fault. I’m only retelling it here because (a) it’s funny and (b) it’s a good reminder that no matter how well prepared we think we are, things happen. To appreciate this story, you need to know a few things: we have a home
