Do-it-yourself speed bumps
Having lived in and around Washington DC for several years, I’m not a big fan of speed bumps, but…this is great: Hat tip to American Digest (one of the best-written blogs on the web). ..bruce..

Best Thanksgiving Day comedy routine ever
Dave over at Ace of Spades HQ has the (in)famous “WKRP in Cincinnatti” Thanksgiving Day videos. I’d embed them here, but Ace of Spades deserve the credit for tracking down the two key segments; be sure to watch them both. And Happy Black Friday! ..bruce w..
Der Furzenführer
It seems that little maniac that tried to take over Europe some 70 years or so ago was a notorious farter. His gas was so epic in fact that it may have played a role in Germany losing World War II (if so it would be a possible to assume that flatulence is a force […]
Katie disses Dan
OK, I’m not a big Katie Couric fan, and I think her poor ratings at the CBS Evening News have nothing to do with sexism and have a lot to do with her just being the wrong choice for the spot. But this makes me like her a whole lot more: If you don’t get […]
Cal Berkley’s Video Game Half Time Show
The Cal band (Berkley) is famous for half time shows from its crazed marching band. Now for your entertainment, Cal’s band brings you interpretations of some well loved video games. Simply amazing. Note: My nephew Ian Henderson attends Berkley and is a rabid computer fiend from an early age. I have no idea if he […]
Found my Christmas shopping list
The W.A.T.C.H. “2007 Worst Toys List“. After all, I have 10 grandkids (and two more on the way) to think of. The “Jack Sparrow’s Spinning Dagger” looks especially cool. ..bruce w.. P.S. “W.A.T.C.H.”? Didn’t acronyms with periods after each letter go out with U.N.C.L.E.?
“Engineering group not amused”
I’ll bet. The American Society of Civil Engineers is demanding that a video spoofing their investigation of the levee failures in New Orleans during Hurricane Katrina be removed from YouTube: A long-simmering dispute about whether a leading engineering organization whitewashed the role of the Army Corps of Engineers in the failure of the levee system […]
The New Isolationism: A Platform Proposal
I’ve always enjoyed Ron Silver as an actor — but now I admire him for his humor as well: The presidential electoral cycle is upon us. That means conventions. Conventions have platforms. I propose a platform that will make the world like us again. Just like they always did. It may take 12 steps to […]
OK, so I’m a bit strange…
It just hit me a few minutes ago: I’ve been watching (on DVD) the 1982 stage production of Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, my favorite of Stephen Sondheim’s musicals, courtesy of Netflix. And I’ve just finished baking a homemade turkey pot pie. Good pie, too. 🙂 ..bruce.. (If you’re wondering why this […]
