Just read this article and I must comment upon it. But first an excerpt Dolphins appear to get high off pufferfish defense chemicals. According to The Smithsonian, pufferfish produce a potent defensive chemical, which they eject when threatened. In small enough doses, however, the toxin seems to induce “a trance-like state” in dolphins that come […]

Truth be told, I am not a crook. My brief encounter with crookedness occurred when I was about eight years old. Thankfully, the benevolent powers that be did not send me off to reform school for my heinous crime. On the corner of Crescendoe Road and Perry Street, there was a marvelous little mom-and-pop butcher shop

I’d like to present to y’all today, a completely cynical view of work and the workplace. It is definitely embraced by some, but I would like to say that I have in fact always believed that truly great leaders take the blame and pass on the credit. I’m just laying out an alternative viewpoint that

I would like to propose a new school of philosophy based upon ideas expressed in the 1994 comedy, Forrest Gump. Note that there was also a book by Winston Groom entitled Forrest Gump which I do intend to read some day, but being the simple lazy ass man that I am, I shall use the

You probably all had at least one in your elementary school. A feller that was blessed with the most amazing and almost super human athletic abilities. There were a whole gaggel of these guys in my elementary school, but one stood out above all of the rest. We’ll just call him “Bif” – and I am sure

I dunno why, but bats were greatly feared by every kid, and most adults. Probably one too many Dracula movies, or possibly it was that goofy Dark Shadows show that seemed to be all the rage at the time. Our greatest fear was that the bats would land in our hair and bite us, resulting

Everybody knows him … everybody loves him. Sno Cone Joe was a man with a white truck and a mission. He was the guy with the truck full o’ ice and sugary syrup that froze the brain of every kid from Perry Street to the Arterial. Since my interactions with him were pretty much on
