I Got a Cheese Slicer From Tajikistan
Every once in a while, I get random things delivered to my house that I did not order. Some people might find this annoying, but I find it entertaining. I routinely get mail delivered to my house that is not addressed to me. This type of mail is an understandable mistake because people lived in…

Where Is Everyone Going?
There are always plenty of people driving on roads and highways, and there are always lots of people out walking around, but where is everybody going? They can’t all be going to work. They can’t all be going to school. They can’t all go to Walmart. They can’t all be at the pool. They can’t…

No One Is Ever Happy…
No matter what happens, there will always be something to complain about in life. This is especially true when it comes to the weather. I live in the Midwest United States, right in the heart of America. We have crazy weather swings of hot and cold, wet and dry, and everything in between. It’s not…

The Real Reason Aliens Visit Earth: Pizza
If your planet isn’t in the pizza delivery zone, what would you do??? In 2001, Pizza Hut became the first restaurant to deliver pizza into space when they sent pizza by rocket to the residents of the International Space Station who were orbiting Earth.

Life Ruined: Gummy Bears Are NOT a Fruit
Sometimes things happen in life that are so disturbing your entire existence is altered. This was one of those times.

Why I Talk About Pizza All The Time
I’m like Indiana Jones, but instead of looking for crystal skulls, I search the world for the perfect pizza. Indy shared his stories of his travels, as do I. My stories just happen to involve pizza. Is that really such a bad thing? Some people drink alcohol, others do drugs. I eat pizza. Why? Because…

The Jetsons Were Psychic
The classic Hanna-Barbera TV cartoon, The Jetsons, was based in the year 2020. Now that 2020 is here, how much of what we saw on the show is actually real?

Oh, The Things I Think About…
Sometimes random thoughts pop in my head that occupy far too much time and energy… The world and this ridiculous thing called life are funny. Not funny as in humorous, but funny like quirky. I often find myself caught up in this quirkiness pondering things most people probably don’t ponder. Do you think space aliens…

Interesting Comments From The Past
It’s easy to take our modern life for granted, but there was once a time, not too long ago, when things in our world appeared to be very different. There were some memes getting posted recently on social media titled, Comments Made in 1957. I did some research and found many of the comments are…

The Time I Ate 30 Year Old Gum
While it sounds like it’d be gross, it was only kind of gross. You’ll really only understand this post if you’re older than 40… A few years back, I was shopping in an antique store. I came across a pile of 1980’s baseball card packs for a pretty cheap price, so I bought them. I’m…

Another Annoying Pet Peeve – Auto Dealer Branding
Why do customers provide free advertising for auto dealerships long after driving a new vehicle off the lot? When you buy a vehicle from a dealership, they will almost always slap on some subtle (or not so subtle) advertising to promote their business. This advertising is usually either a sticker on the back featuring the…

I Played a Game Called “What’s That Smell”
Unfortunately, I was an unwilling participant in this self imposed game. While it was annoying first, it actually ended up being sort of fun in a sick and twisted way. Back around the year 2000 I auditioned to be a contestant on the TV game show The Weakest Link. I obviously was the weakest link…

I Ran Over a Squirrel…(Deep Thoughts)
I didn’t mean to. I actually tried to swerve, but I guess it was his fate. I felt horrible, but it brought up some interesting thoughts for me. Sometimes I tend to over think. This was one of those times. A series of life events had to occur in order for the squirrel to have…

Stupid Things People Do: Pet Peeve #83
Human nature intrigues me. It also annoys me because I tend to notice things other people don’t. Sometimes it’s a good thing, other times not. I’ve been told I’m overly critical of people, but I’m really not. I’m just observant Referring to this week’s pet peeve, it involves shopping. As I push my shopping cart…

Random Things to Ponder…
Life can be silly. Sometimes it’s better not to ask questions, but maybe you have the answer to these random thoughts which cross my mind… In the word SCENT, which letter is silent? The S or the C ? If you replace the W with T in WHAT and WHERE and WHEN, you get the…

When I go on Wheel of Fortune…
Game shows like “Who Wants to be a Millionaire” kick you off the show for getting an answer wrong, but on Wheel of Fortune, I’ll at least have a chance with my well thought out guesses… It’s going to be so much fun when I go on Wheel of Fortune, but I can’t help but…

Where Do People Go At 4:45am?
I had the unfortunate pleasure of driving in nearly bumper to bumper traffic at 4:45 am. Yes, 4:45 AM. I’m not talking about Los Angeles, New York or Chicago where you have long commutes and outrageous traffic any time of day or night. I live in Kansas City, a mid-sized, average American town. It seems…

Toys R Us – The End of an Era
It’s only been a few months, but I miss Toys R Us already. I don’t miss it because I need toys, but because of what it represents. I can remember many times as a kid wanting to go there. It was always the place to go when you wanted to see what was new in…
