• Bubblin Ears

  
  Cranial Hyperossification — Authority: 128
  Son has used cotton swabs to clean his ears for a long time. I have told him that using swabs this way is contraindicated right on the package, but he persists. Yes, he did manage to push a big glob of ear wax into his ear. He had enough pain that we took him to the doctor. The good doctor told him not to do that ...

• Now I understand everything

  
  Pharyngula — Authority: 739
  Its always good to be able to categorize and explain relationships in the world. Im going to have to ponder this further, though. The Mummy is clearly in the same region as Frankenstein, but does the infectious nature of lycanthropy put the Wolfman in the same category as Dracula? I guess if zombies count as ...

  My Inflammatory Writ — Authority: 121
  I am currently writing a play that was inspired in part by the story of a little Japanese girl who wanted to fold a thousand origami cranes before she died.

• The 11/3 Project

  
  The Chawed Rosin — Authority: 121
  If you’ve never watched Glenn Beck, you’ll probably still find this amusing. If, like me, you have sat with head tilted and mouth agape staring at a snippet from one of his sermons, horrified yet unable to turn away, I think you’ll think it’s brilliant. Puts me in mind of the great Bob & Ray when they ...

  Nerd Approved - Gadgets and Gizmos — Authority: 664
  These sproutlets will do two things for you. First they will allow you to enjoy Chia Pet-style gardening without the depressing grandma edge that came from commercials that had a $4 budget, ran during “Wheel of Fortune” and ended with the phrase “Available at Walgreens, Rite Aid, and other fine stores”. ...

• Confused Language Guy

  
  Cranial Hyperossification — Authority: 128
  The other day, I heard a radio report that was discussion changing peoples behavior with a "carrot and stick." Geek that I am, I heard the phrase " keratin stick." I wondered for a brief moment how that would work. Are they goring people with rhinoceros horns? Then I realized what the speaker had actually said. ...

  Your Pharmacist May Hate You — Authority: 113
  The hairballs had been unbearable, but now her mind was at ease. The dashingly good looking veterinarian had told her that the malady was easily treated as he handed over the signed slip of paper.

  THE DARK OF THE MATINEE — Authority: 424
  It pains me to be in this position today. Im never "That Guy", but I have to openly wonder: THIS IS IT. Whats the big deal?? Just yesterday, I gave it a three out of four rating.

• Really, truly, officially Out of Business.

  
  Life in the Land of Dreamy Dreams — Authority: 110
  These past weeks have been a bit insane, even by the rather elastic standards of sanity in my house. The dozens of boxes of leftover inventory were hauled out of storage, organized, thousands of items individually priced and set up for a massive garage sale (actually held in our front parlors) that spanned 2 ...
