There is no Best Of Soul Train review this week because for some inexplicable reason, WGN decided to play an all day long “Rocky” marathon instead of their usual programming. The only good that came out of this was that we were all spared from watching another useless episode of America’s Funniest Home Videos before catching a ride [...]

I know that there has been a rise in copper theft due to the fact that the resale or scrap value of copper is pretty high these days, but copper theft has not been much of a concern at my HVAC job ( which uses copper products on a regular basis) until recently. Over the past few [...]

Monday was a paid day off for me, so in celebration of my getting paid to do nothing that day, I decided to go for a walk on campus. While I was traversing on the deserted streets of campus, I had witnessed the coolest thing ever.

1. The nice thing about having a three day holiday weekend is that when you come back to work on tuesday morning, you realize that you have a short 4 day work week ahead of you. Nice.

This is a reference to I’m Alan Partridge series one where Alan Partridge (played by Steeve Coogan) was commenting on how boring Sunday afternoons can be, and not the sort of alright classic U2 song about a massacre of some sort. But did Alan Partridge foresee that Sunday afternoons on holiday weekends are usually twice as [...]

I hope everyone is having a decent holiday weekend doing whatever it is you people do on memorial day weekend. The weather is nice outside, but I do not know of a single person who is having a cookout this weekend. Weird, ain’t it?
So when you are out gorging yourselves on hamburgers and hot dogs and forgetting [...]

More madness from the sketchbook of jareddriskill. This sketch is called “Tower of Dracula.” I came up with the idea for this sketch, as usual, by minding my own business walking down the street and a totally random phrase, in this case: “Tower of Dracula,” just pops in my head. ( Sometimes Ideas come to me [...]

I’m sure that you all heard of the recent court decision stating that paper money discriminates against the blind. Like most people, my first reaction is that of outrage against the so called “liberal activist judges” that the right wingers like to stand on their soap box and rail against these days.
But after registering this information, I [...]

1. I actually got bored enough to watch the Bourne trilogy of movies ( Bourne Identity, et al) and I have to admit that Matt Damon is one hell of a convincing action star. His unassuming nature and non over the top physique is what I suppose is what helps him to be believable as an [...]
