Gone Wild
The story begins several months ago when Christopher banished a half-used bag of russet potatoes to the dark, cool, cavernous area below his kitchen sink. Shoving the plastic bag in the cabinet, he went on with his daily activities like learning. The potatoes didn’t fare well in “the hole.” As a matter of fact, it wasn’t long before the eyes, shrouded by the darkness, began to spore tiny green tentacles. Their once tough brown skin loosened as the starchy insides shrank, becoming loose and leathery. Desperate for water and sunlight, the roots took on a flesh color and began to slide along the press board bottom until they reached the side. With nowhere to go but up, they slowly crept, ascending further and further each day.

Weeks passed while Christopher went about his business, too preoccupied to remember the half bag of [...]

Tipping Jars - WTF

Posted on July 24th, 2007 by Christopher.

Am I alone in taking pointed notice of all the tip jars that have blossomed on business countertops? From delis to pizzerias, Chinese takeout joints to barbershops, the word has spread like wildfire: If you put out a tip jar, people will fill it.

Well, maybe they will, but I have yet to be shamed (if this is the right word) into casting my coin into the tip jar fountain. Perhaps it is the scientist in me, but I try to reason the situation out like this: I call in my order to the Chinese restaurant. I drive there to pick it up. I pay the menu price. Why on earth would I pay more than they are asking for their …

Conduct “Unbecoming”

Two cases involving the behavior of women being scrutinized has recently garnered a lot of public attention, so I thought I’d post on the subject and give my two cents.

First, let’s talk about Miss New Jersey. Here’s the recap: 22-year-old Amy Polumbo (Miss New Jersey) was almost forced to give up her crown after “racy” photos were anonymously mailed to pageant officials. It turns out that she was able to keep her crown, but after seeing the photos that were ultimately released to the public, I’m wondering why it was a problem to begin with. The photos– which show no nudity at all– are hardly racy. One shows Amy’s boyfriend pretending to bite her nipple through her …

It’s Amazing I Turned Out as Well as I Did…

So I had to post an email my father just sent me. It was a forward– I love my Dad but he tends to find the most asinine emails and somehow thinks it’s a good idea to forward them on to me even though he’s quite aware of my political views. I’m starting to think he does this just so I can send back responses confirming just how ridiculous the emails are and why he should put a little more thought into who might’ve originated them and what their agenda could be. So… here’s the latest. It was teeming with every propaganda technique I ever learned about, poorly disguised I might add, so I decided to …
