Told the insurance agent my wife was driving.*

What, it would go on my permanent man record!!! I can’t have that. *Joking. I told him I was getting a blowjay and we air high-fived over the phone.
I wrecked my wife’s car about two years ago now, and I so wanted to deny that I was driving it…

OK, I don’t care what your perspective is on SeaWorld or any of those parks, but the idea that the whales are fighting a resistance instead of just acting like animals that cannot be domesticated is anthropomorphizing them and doesn’t help your cause. In fact, it makes you look like an insane person.
I'm not, though!
Me: (Explaining recent Tumblr craziness) I just don't understand what would possess someone to act that way!

There are a handful of individuals who over the course of their lives will transcend their competitors and colleagues to become the signature representatives of their field, whether it’s Carl Sagan and astronomy, Orville Redenbacher and popcorn or the cast of Jersey Shore and everyday douchery. When it comes to sex though, anything that takes place between the...

Wait, so because it’s different, we need to stop it now? It’s not my thing, but really, who is it hurting?

So Bill buys Girl Scout Cookies from his bosses daughter…berry crap something and the lemon ones…WTF?! Where are the Tagalongs and Samoas?! Jesus!
It was years before I was aware there were options besides Thin Mints, Samoas and shortbread.

Wait. Remind me why I’m supposed to care about the opinion an overly-made-up, under-articulate person who may have read the Bible but apparently only absorbed select bits and pieces?
Cause I really, really don’t. Big deal: she thinks the same thing my wacky uncle does. He’s wrong, and so it she.

I’ll refrain from singing along, as my knowledge of Irish folk songs can be somewhat unnerving…
Starting a band
I’d like to start a cover band named ABJ. That stands for Anything But Journey.
We would play good songs (hence not by Journey). Also excluded: Hall and Oates, Chicago (Oh, how I loathe Chicago) and many others TBD.

Perturb them how? By insisting that the armed forces of a nation based upon the principles of equality offer that same equality? By allowing people who want to enlist but won’t because of Don’t Ask/Don’t Tell to do so, and...

My queue is set up to publish things ONCE A DAY and it started to publish EVERYTHING IN THERE SIMULTANEOUSLY which was about 50 posts and some of it was stuff I definitely would not have ever published without some major editing and I feel like you guys saw me naked and I also want to vomit and then cry and then vomit again.
Had the exact same problem a couple of weeks ago, and...

How I stopped snoring (Thanks, Alltop!)
So I’ve snored for as long as I can remember, and it’s often been a source of friction with people sharing my bed. My wife has been after me for years now to do something about it.
Sure, I could go to the doctor and get tested, but that would mean doing a sleep study. Given my long-standing fear of both alien abductions (particularly the attendant probing) and people in long white...
