  • Vacation Rentals By Owner

    Vacation Rentals By Owner

    I have always loved to travel and go on vacations for as long as I can remember. What I didn’t like was staying at grungy hotels with no character, no charm and a lifeless desk clerk. Most hotels and motels don’t have in-room kitchens, adding considerable costs to my trip since I [...]

    Ike Turner, the man who turned Tina Turner into a star (and also beat the crap out of her whenever he felt like it), died today at his home in San Diego, CA. He was 76.

  • The Best Human Resources Email Ever!

    e-mail one

    Attention: Human Resources

    Joe Smith, my assistant programmer, can always be found
    hard at work in his cubicle. Joe works independently, without
    wasting company time talking to colleagues. Joe never
    thinks twice about assisting fellow employees, and he always
    finishes given assignments on time. Often Joe takes extended
    measures to complete his work, sometimes skipping
    coffee breaks. Joe is an individual [...]

  • Have No Fear! Indiana Jones Is Here!

    I’m so excited about the impending fourth installment of the Indiana Jones movies. And I’m thrilled that Harrison Ford will be playing Indie – as he should! I hate it when new actors are brought in as the title role in a sequel (can we say “Batman”). Except for the James Bond movies – those [...]

  • You Are What You Eat, So Eat Well.

    A stupendous insight of civilizations past has now been confirmed by today’s investigative, nutritional sciences. They have shown that what was once called ‘The Doctrine of Signatures’ was astoundingly correct. It now contends that every whole food has a pattern that resembles a body organ or physiological function and that these patterns acts as a [...]

  • Onions vs Christmas Trees

    I got this joke from a friend the other day. I hope it makes you laugh as much as it made me do so. If you’re offended, you seriously need to lighten up and get a sense of humor. Or two.

    The family is sitting at the dinner table. The son asks his father, “Dad, how [...]

  • I Grew Up With An Electric Vagina.

    I got an email earlier today from a friend of mine about a show his band is doing tonight at Blakes on Telegraph in Berkeley. Since I am unable to attend, I decided to dedicate a post to them. They are Electric Vagina, and they totally rock! Of course, we came from the same hometown, [...]

  • The Queen Is Coming Out. And Getting Married!

    Queen Latifah, that is.

    Rumor has it that Queen Latifah and her (rumored) girlfriend of nearly four years, Jeanette Jenkins, will soon be tying the knot.

    MediaTakeOut.com is just one of the sites claiming ownership of the story: “...We can tell you that we’re 100% sure on this one. And we can also tell you that ABSOLUTELY [...]

  • Kiefer Sutherland Goes To Jail.

    After two DUI arrests in three years, Kiefer Sutherland was sentenced to 48 days in jail. Yesterday, the former Lost Boy, started his sentence in Glendale, CA. I really hope this stint in jail gives Kiefer the boost he needs to once and for all stop drinking – it obviously doesn’t agree with him. Kiefer [...]

    Happy Birthday Tyra Banks! You’ve done quite well for yourself in your first 34 years…Supermodel, Talk Show Host, Reality TV Star.

  • Britney Spears Is 26. On Paper, Not In Actions.

    I suppose I wish her a happy birthday, but honestly, I doubt the princess herself even knows what today is.

    I sure hope this next year is better for the drama plagued pop-star than the last couple have been. Of course, nothing will be better until she gets the big slap in the face she needs [...]
