I. Must. Have. One.

My command of the English language fails me miserably as I contemplate how to describe the depth of desire I have for this. It’s not real, you say? Then, I command you, make it so! Source via TwistedSifter

The Vanishing Fire Ant

Update (4/6/11) I submitted a request for a refund via CafePress’s website and within 15 minutes was notified by email that they were granting it. They also said I could keep the shirts. Apparently they don’t want Fire Ant-less shirts either. Anyway, the interesting thing was this statement by the customer service rep: “I have… Continue reading The Vanishing Fire Ant

Zombie Movie Posters

The dismayingly prolific Neatorama website has an e-commerce arm called, appropriately enough, the Neatoshop, and I just discovered that it has an entire section devoted to classic movie posters that have been reworked with a zombie theme. While I’m pretty sure you-know-who wouldn’t consent to my hanging any of these on our walls (she can… Continue reading Zombie Movie Posters

More Suspicious Gaddafi Sightings

Despite the mental and psychological similarities, and disregarding the proven fact that they’re never seen together, I’ve come to the conclusion that Charlie Sheen and Muammar Gaddafi are not the same person after all. But…Bob Dylan? Well, you tell me.

How cold is it…?

It’s so cold that I spotted this floating in the middle of our neighborhood pond earlier today: Now, that’s something you don’t see everyday. Where did all those ducks come from, anyway? [Tip of the ski cap to my buddy Jim for partial inspiration. Yeah, that’s right; I’m shifting the blame.]

Movie Night at La Casa

We were still fighting colds last night and we used that as an excuse to brew some Keurig coffee (Donut Shop Decaf for her; Caribou regular for me) and stream a couple of movies (Netflix via Apple TV, if you care about things like that. And you should. The technical details are crucial to the… Continue reading Movie Night at La Casa

Whatever you’re searching for, it appears we have it here.

I no longer pay much attention to this blog’s visitor stats. When I first started the Gazette, I had a free Site Meter account and monitored it regularly, but that was back in the salad days when blogs were the only social media outlet (and when I actually worked harder at it). When I redesigned/relaunched… Continue reading Whatever you’re searching for, it appears we have it here.

I Heard the Springs of Hell on Christmas Day

Taking a cue from another local blogger who is recycling some of her material (I don’t have clearance to link, in case you’re wondering), and in response to something that recently arose on Facebook (an exchange between two sisters, one of which happens to be my spousal unit), it seems appropriate – essential, even –… Continue reading I Heard the Springs of Hell on Christmas Day

My Personal Year in Review

It’s the week after Christmas, a time when news reporters attempt to recover from the holiday stress by putting it on autopilot and running a series of “Year in Review” articles. I’ve never understood why they do it so soon, though. What if Major News occurs during this week – like, for instance, Hilary Clinton… Continue reading My Personal Year in Review
