Things I learned at the 2006 Indiana State Fair. Click on any images for a larger view. Vendors love it when you try on their stuff, take cheesy tourist photos, and then leave without buying anything. Home of the “Monkey … Continue reading →

I “saw” the American Idol 2006 concert. Thanks Ticketmaster. Click for larger view.

“I” before “E” except after “C”. Or apparently, any other bloody time some word doesn’t want to follow the rules! People are lazy. We make a cute sounding rule to help us remember how to spell – and as it … Continue reading →

A few days ago I discovered – quite painfully – that wasps and bees had decided they were no longer going to share the landscaping at the front of my office building. In fact, they had set up several nests … Continue reading →

My name is Scott. I hate bees. This is my story. I was walking back into my office building after checking the mailbox. As I approached the door I felt something on my face at the edge of my glasses. … Continue reading →

I was shopping with my girlfriend and saw this tag. “I AM WASHABLE” On men’s clothing, okay, I would understand. However, I thought women were good about washing their clothes. 😉

Okay, who knew? I guess I’ve had my head buried in the sand or something. Someone sent me a spammy message with pictures of an indoor ski facility in Dubai. Aside from the slanted “this is why gas is $3 … Continue reading →

It looked like an innocent bunny lawn ornament. Until we picked it up…

I was getting into my car and a “FOR SALE” sign caught my eye on the motorcycle in the next parking space. “$1,600 + Helmut”??? I got a chuckle out of the misspelling. Maybe the rider had taken one too … Continue reading →

I was feeling a little under the weather so I put a movie in for my daughter and layed down on the couch. Part way through the movie she came up to me and said she’d take care of me. … Continue reading →

I’m at work and I walk into the men’s bathroom. The door isn’t even closed behind me and I notice that the whole room smells like something dead rotting. All I have to do is a simple in and out … Continue reading →

I saw a big bright pink cardboard display of makeup at Walgreens with a full size headshot of Jessica Simpson and a “50% OFF” clearance sign. I never used to mind her when I thought she was at least trying … Continue reading →

4th of July – Independence Day – We shoot off fireworks to celebrate our independence and freedom. It’s a celebration of and for the U.S.A. Right? In the middle of our family fireworks, one explosion sent a small package skyward. … Continue reading →
