You're exactly where I was in my life about 15 years ago. When you try to call all the shots on your own and not have God in your life, it's just a matter of time before you find yourself in a dead end. And blaming God for your misfortunes, or accusing him of leaving you doesn't work either. I...

I have a bone to pick with gravel trucks that drive on the highway with their tops open. These trucks are supposed to have their tops covered, tarps tied down and secured, so their payload doesn't come flying out when they hit a bump in the road and a rock pits your windshield. There have been...

On Franklin's tv series, at the start of every episode the narrator announces, "Franklin can count by two's and tie his shoes..." ...but when has Franklin actually worn shoes? (Ice skates don't count.)

Back in 1996, before the Gecko, cavemen, and Maxwell, Geico had an ad campaign with animations by Bill Plympton. "We all do dumb things. Paying too much for car insurance doesn't have to be one of them". These ads were hysterical, and could've won a Clio (the Grammy equivalent for...

I've been thinking of how many people have become so psychologically dependent on their phones/iPads/gizmos. A few years back a Rutgers professor asked his students to go without their phones for 8 hours. (Not a whole day, only eight measly hours). And within two hours, students were already...

On the subject of Christmas music: Two of the Beatles had Christmas hits in their solo careers- John's "Happy Xmas (War is Over)", which inspired some decent cover versions, and Paul's "Simply Having a Wonderful Christmastime", which also has been covered into submission. But while I love...

And it bugs me to death! :)

Someone might've posted this before (maybe even me), but we have these outdoor light fixtures. There's a bulb inside and you screw on a glass dome. Once a year, we have to unscrew the domes to change the bulbs, and clean out the dead bugs that got in. It's a sealed fixture, but HOW DO THE BUGS...

It might only amount to 2 or 3 incidents every year, but it's still 2 or 3 too many. And both the stores and the customers are accountable. The stores feed on peoples' desires to think they're getting the deal of the century, and some customers' insatiable greed. Nothing is worth getting...

People getting stabbed over a parking space. Way to go. Capitalist greed at its finest.

If there's gonna be a glut of cooking competitions, you gotta make equal time for the singers.

Now that Santy Claus arrived at Heralde Square at noon, most stores scheduled to open 8 pm tonight, the Black Friday Madness is mere hours away. I'm avoiding the stores like the plague. I'm not a big fan of crowds, noises and traffic (yet I live so close to Manhattan, go figger). Nor do I want...

It's always nice to see the Sesame Street float in the parade, this time Cookie and Jimmy Fallon singing "Somebody Come and Play". Joe Raposo woulda been proud.

A lot of you Muppet fans might remember seeing Arlo Guthrie on the Muppet Show (Season 4?). His main claim to fame is a song that has become a Thanksgiving institution, "Alice's Restaurant". You can get anything you want at Alice's Restaurant. You can get anything you want at Alice's...

Ugh, the K-Mart lunch counter. If the highlight of your day is a lukewarm hot dog on a stale bun and a half-melted Icee, you've got a raw deal, my friend.

Speaking of Krofft shows, in the opening credits of H.R. Pufnstuf, Jimmy gets on board the boat, Witchiepoo turns the boat into a monster that grabs Jimmy, he dives overboard to escape, and ends up on the shores of Living Island. But during the struggle, even though he saves Freddie, he loses...

My dad used to be one of those people with such blind hatred. He would drop the N-bomb on black people right to their face and not think twice about it. This always bothered me about him. Way back when I was five, I heard him use that word a lot, but I had no idea what it meant. So I asked...

As long as you don't mind you and every other customer waiting on line for one of three open registers while the other twelve remain stubbornly closed. (At least Target will be decent enough to open FOUR.)

Losing Gary Busey is no skin off my nose, but is Todd Bridges still there?

But on the bright side, eventually clips like these will surface on "World's Dumbest" and we can share the last laugh with Tonya, Danny and Leif.
