Good times.

Stumbled upon this today and had a momentary relapse into another world...a la 1979.

Jart in My Head

Good times. Yeah. Good times.

"BARK." ZAP. "YEEEOOWW."

The Mad Monk told on himself recently.

MadMommaMonk did a better (read: funnier) job of explaining. And even provided a visual.

"A Dream Denied"

This is TOO FUNNY!

Berkeley, CA makes list of top "Meanest Cities" in the US

Who said it first?

St. Augustine - though all men do wrong, right is not diminished

My mind is peanut butter...

...and though it takes me a while to grasp some subjects, and especially to convince me of certain aspects, sometimes I stumble across an eye-opening, paradigm-shifting statement which throws me for a loop, and I return to my feet (as would a mad hornet return to flight) in an effort to evaluate exactly what it was which so nearly blindsided me. I confess, this may be in some part due to my upbringing in a public school setting. At least that's the object to which I attribute it. And it appears to be that of a gentleman by the name of Kieran Egan, as well. In this case, he has made a whole host of statements which will cause you to re-examine where we've come from (in recent years, post 19th century) and the direction in which we are headed.
