The Famous Blue Truck

Here's that stupid blue truck everyone's been following around -- parking illegally again in front of a red fire hydrant.

Curse you blue truck!

This is a possum

The possum says, "Meow!"

To whom it may concern:

To the jackass with the air horn running around Pratt & Newgard, blasting it at 11:30PM last night, you can run, but you can't hide. You may have been faster than me last night, but I'm in training, and I'm coming for you.

Teamist Idiots at Sun-Times

This latest evidence of the rampant teamism and stupidity over at the Chicago Sun-Times really pisses me off. Those morons have written an article titled "Another Day in the Coliseum" which details the White Sox loss to the Oakland Athletics yesterday in Oakland, California and mentions that the Sox are now 6-24 at the Oakland ballpark.

That might seem all well and good, but why don't those dips at that "newspaper" mention anything about the Cubs in the article? Have the Cubs never played at the Coliseum? What sort of records do the White Sox have at other ballparks, such as Shea Stadium? Who would win in a game between the Chicago White Sox and the Justice League of America, another team completely ignored by this one-sided, idiotic article.

A Puppy in a Garden?

Is it even possible?

You bet'cha it is!

A lovely couple

I didn't have a camera, so this artist's rendering will have to do.

Funny Chicago Times quote

"The cheek of every American must tingle with shame as he reads the silly, flat and dishwatery utterances of the man who has to be pointed out to intelligent foreigners as the President of the United States."

The giraffe says "moo."

A Year Without "Made in China"

A Year Without "Made in China" follows journalist Sara Bongiorni on her quest to keep her family free of Chinese-made products for one year. She humorously describes just how difficult it is to keep her husband, two children, and herself, fed, clothed, and entertained while avoiding anything made in China. I highly recommend this book for anyone who's considering going on a similar boycott, or for anyone who thinks it would be easy as pie.

Bloomberg news calls it, "a wry look at the ingenuity it takes to shun the planet's fastest-growing economy."

A crisis of cookware

We need less of this:

"Grr!"

and more of this:

Rogers Pork

The pig says, "Oink oink!"

This is a puppy

Walking More Harmful Than Driving

Hat-tip to my buddy Dave for pointing this one out to me:

Walking does more than driving to cause global warming, a leading environmentalist has calculated.

Food production is now so energy-intensive that more carbon is emitted providing a person with enough calories to walk to the shops than a car would emit over the same distance. The climate could benefit if people avoided exercise, ate less and became couch potatoes. Provided, of course, they remembered to switch off the TV rather than leaving it on standby. Full story...

I saw Transformers last night. What a cool movie!
