Okay…this little gem has been circulating like wildfire on Facebook and I’ve been tagged at least 3 or 4 times. So, since I’m at home due to the snow and ice and we’re hosting storm refugees in our electrified and heated abode, I thought I’d take a minute or two to hammer this out.
Once you’ve [...]

Dear people,
Far be it from me to engender any more unnecessary and comical delusions that the Obama administration will bring about the fall of the United States.

That’s the sound of an imploding ping-pong ball. At least, that’s the sound I believe an imploding ping-pong ball makes. I’m not even sure why I ever wondered that, but since at least the early 90s, that has been the sound. Recently, we inherited a ping-pong table and that is what brought this to mind.

I was hoping to post something last night and I’d really hoped to put together something interesting for this first day of the new year. Alas, neither plan really worked out for me, so…instead, you get this interesting video which I found today.
