That's right, we're back and ready to educate you with some good knowledge. Let's take a look at "The Secret Language of Body Talk" with this handy dandy guide to understanding non-verbal behavior.
So is this woman interested in you? Let's take a look at some of the common gestures and poses illustrated in this book to find out. (Read More) Yep, July 1 is my birthday. I've got to say that it's nice to have a good excuse to do nothing all day. Of course, realizing it's already been a year since your last birthday is a bit disconcerting, but I'll worry about that tomorrow.
Bear just came home and surprised me with a great little homemade card and a bottle of Ancient Age bourbon (hardy-har-har). But on the plus side, I've got me some bourbon and an excuse to drink it. (Leave a Comment) We all have our guilty pleasures and hobbies, for me, it's a 15x15 grid. And it's more than a mere guilty pleasure, it's a sick mania.
Come along as we solve the New York Times crossword puzzle... (Read More) As with most things on the web, I'm sure that I'm the last person on Earth to find out about this, but Hulu currently has both seasons of Voltron: Defender of the Universe online for Free.  I stumbled across it last night looking for my daily Conan fix only to realize it was Monday and I'd have to wait (it's a sad day when you no longer stay up late enough for the late show, but that's another story). Not only was Voltron an awesome cartoon, the toy was the holy grail.  By formidable I should really say it was a trump card. "Your transformers were all just killed by Voltron. Look, you can't argue, giant robot lion with a sword clearly defeats your robot that turns into a cassette recorder, hands down." The Voltron argument was also highly effective against any GI Joe, MASK, Go-Bot, Star Wars, He-Man offensive. It's only weakness might have been the Robotech Skull Fighter, but we're still working out the finer details 20 some odd years later. At any rate, be sure to check out these classic episodes on Hulu before they're gone while we work on some new scintillating stories.

 Ever try clove gum? How about licorice? I don't know what the Adam's company was up to, but apparently, they don't like children... (Read More) Let's face it folks, times are tough. We're in a recession and a lot of us are looking for new and creative ways to make ends meet. So, come join me and the Bear as we endeavor to cook a gourmet meal from ingredients purchased entirely from the Dollar Tree:
 It's a gourmet extravaganza! (Read More) I know that bacon is overdone on the web, but I feel justified sharing this because I consider it more of a public service than simply writing about bacon to keep up appearances. Maybe you fry your bacon, maybe you microwave it, but do you smoke it on your Traeger BBQ?
You see, the Traeger isn't a normal BBQ, it's a magical piece of engineering that turns bacon into some sort of uber bacon. The Bear calls it Tracon. (Read More)  I was looking through some old folders on the server and realized that there are now quite a few lost stories that don't really come up on the site. There are some that I'll reincorporate to the site, some that are best left forgotten, and some that I'll provide some links to. One of the odd things about having a blog/site is that it makes you how quickly time flies. So without further ado, here are some of past articles that people who read this site (yes, both of you) may be interested in reading:
Well, I'm trying to do better with the site, so stay tuned for a larger, more random assortment of articles and updates. (Leave a Comment) If you're anything like me, you've long been troubled by all the unanswered questions Vanilla Ice left in the wake of his rise and fall from fame.
Luckily, I came upon a copy of his Autobiography "Ice by Ice," so let's see if we can't clear up some of the confusion... (Read More) The weather was even warmer this weekend, so a little spontaneous camping was in order. It was one of those last minute decisions where we probably spent more time weighing our options that it took to actually swing by the grocery store and head out to the gorge to find a spot. To my surprise, we the campgrounds were dead over the weekend and we did not have any trouble finding a really nice site at Herman Creek... We did a little hike Saturday morning and walked down to Herman Creek. Like everything else in the gorge, getting there means walking uphill. In this case, the creek was a nice little surprise after going a couple miles on a hot day.  Herman Creek It's interesting how quickly the temperature drops when you walk down into a chasm like this. Everything just cooled down, and Gertie even jumped in for a little swim. Definitely a reward for hiking on a warm day. I think we'll be doing a lot of camping this Summer... (Leave a Comment) |
