If You’re into Watching People Faint – Then You’ve Come to the Right Place
I just read a story about cam models, people who can make a fortune online catering to the unusual fetishes of their clients. One woman has filmed herself rubbing her feet with oil and glitter and she claims to have charged $20 a minute just to allow someone watch her sneeze. Videos of her eating … Continue reading If You’re into Watching People Faint – Then You’ve Come to the Right Place
Will Going to the Dentist Ever Be Pain-Free?
Today was my semi-annual teeth cleaning visit to the dentist, or I guess more specifically, the dental hygienist. There had been a time, maybe 20 years ago, when I hadn't been to the dentist in a few years. I remember how painful the cleaning was, and I vowed to get an electric toothbrush, brush my … Continue reading Will Going to the Dentist Ever Be Pain-Free?
Looking for a Reason to Celebrate?
I'm guessing most of you didn't know this, but yesterday was National Burrito Day, and many Mexican restaurants were having specials. My wife and I took advantage of the holiday to use it as an excuse to go to our favorite Mexican restaurant, Buena Vista in Wayne, PA.

Where’s Joseph and His Technicolor Coat When You Need Him?
I usually don't remember my dreams, but last night's dream was kind of unusual and it stuck with me. I have no idea what the dream meant, but it certainly didn't do anything for my self-confidence. In the dream, my boss asked me if I could cover one of his classes for him, and I said … Continue reading Where’s Joseph and His Technicolor Coat When You Need Him?
April Fools’ Day, 2019
It's one of my favorite days of the year, and I try to come up with a prank or two that will either get a laugh or completely trick people, or ideally, both. Over the past few years, I've tried to trick my students, and over the past couple of years, I've tried to trick … Continue reading April Fools’ Day, 2019
This Quiz (Sadly) Confirmed What I Already Knew, or More Accurately, What I Don’t Know
Given the high I experienced the other day from driving like a man, I thought I would step out of my comfort zone once again and test my knowledge of car parts. Now I have some basic knowledge; I know the difference between a steering wheel and a tire (only because I've never had to change … Continue reading This Quiz (Sadly) Confirmed What I Already Knew, or More Accurately, What I Don’t Know
Today, I Drove Like a Man
Before we got in the car and headed to Brooklyn for the day, I decided I was going to drive like a man today. Maybe it was the Scottish Shower I took. No more "X plus 7" driving, not today. At the very least, I decided I was going to stay up with the traffic, … Continue reading Today, I Drove Like a Man
You Say Tomato, I Say Tahmotto; You Say Verbo, I Say VRBO
'Tis but thy name that is my enemy; Thou art thyself, though not a Montague. What's Montague? It is nor hand, nor foot, Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part Belonging to a man. O, be some other name! What's in a name? That which we call a rose By any other word would … Continue reading You Say Tomato, I Say Tahmotto; You Say Verbo, I Say VRBO
Rejected, Again
It was my sixth attempt; the previous five had all resulted in a "thanks, but no thanks" decision. Maybe today would be my turn, I would be one of the chosen few. I really wanted to do this, but alas, it was not meant to be. I'm talking about jury duty. Even though I've been … Continue reading Rejected, Again
