I love laughter. I know that’s nothing profound or anything, but I just do. I love laughing, I love hearing people laugh, and I love love love making people laugh. Always have. I’m not sure what has me reflecting on this, but possibly my wife saying that I laugh more at TV and movies than […]

Bad News: Sharks Are Coming To Kill Us All. Good News: HYBRID Sharks Are Coming To Kill Us All
According to a recent report, sharks – the world’s most totally awesome creatures who also scare the crap out of me – may be evolving. Apparently, a breed of “hybrid shark” has been discovered of the coast of Australia. Now, before you get your hopes up, it’s a hybrid with another species of shark. It’s […]

Happy First Day of Hanukk– Oh, God, This Movie Just Looks SO AWFUL!
Today will be the first day of Hanukkah this year, and I was planning this post about it, about the way that our society – in a painfully awkward attempt to be inclusive – turns this minor Jewish holiday into what people assume is the biggest occasion of all.
