The rats are abandoning the sinking ship

I admit, I was the first to jump. Women and children be damned, I say. Now, a veritable institution, an icon dammit, is moving away from Florida. Say it ain’t so, Joe.

Sweet-Ass Contest

Colleen is having a sweet ass contest. She’s going on vacation, and all you have to do is guess the destination. She’ll be giving out clues every day, and has some nice prizes for the winner and a couple runners-up. Since it’s an adult-only vacation, my first guess is a trip to Hedonism. But I [...]

Strange Searches

I’m used to seeing some odd search terms on my blogs. I’ve got one blog that gets slammed by people looking for information about Phil Mickelson’s illegitimate child every time Phil is in contention for a PGA tournament. A nice traffic bonus on typically slow weekends, but they really aren’t the kind of readers that [...]

So, I played in the World Blogger Championship of Online Poker yesterday. If you’re interested in poker, you can check out my posts about it over at my poker blog. If not, just know that I played against 1,337 of my closest friends, lasted 6.5 hrs and about 500 hands (it takes about 24 hrs to play 500 hands in real life), and finished 16th because I was stupid.

One excerpt that jumped out at me as good advice for any adult dealing with kids was this: When a middle school girl looks you in the eye and announces, " If I don’t make [...]

There is a light at the end of the tunnel

Man, I’ve been working my tail off on some new sites the past few weeks. First, there’s the Hundred Day Head Start, a motivation/support/accountability site dieting and exercising. This is going very well, we’re getting really good traffic and incoming links, and the attention is very motivating for me, helping me stick to my diet. [...]

Mr. Fab is ready to go Big-Time!

Mr. Fab is in the running for Best Humor Blog at the Blogger’s Choice Awards. He passed Dooce as of yesterday and is within striking distance of boobsandmydomainnameistoofreakinglong.com. And while I would love to see the emcee announce this as a “booby” prize ( get it, get it? I’m so punny…), one thing that separates [...]

'cueing with the bloggers

I made the trip down to Brooksville this weekend to see the family and eat red meat with bloggers. Colleen and her husband, Jim, served up some damn tender steak and tasty corn on the cob, complemented by the Fabs‘ potato salad and my contribution, Sonny’s baked beans, for which I broke into Sonny’s and [...]
