Today’s winner comes to us courtesy of Crass-Pollination: An ER Blog. Me [looking at three generations smooshed into a room]: Hello everyone! What seems to be the trouble this evening? Kelly Bundy: Well, we went over to my mom’s house to drop off the kids so we could go to the club, but turns out… Continue reading Doofus Of The Day #509

The best present ever!
A serviceman home from the sandbox decided to greet his kids in a highly original way. I’m very glad he came home safely to them. Please pray for those who don’t come home . . . and for the families they leave behind. Also, if you can find it in your heart to do so,… Continue reading The best present ever!
More troubles for the Catholic Church
I’m sure many readers have read my articles about the clergy sex abuse crisis in the Catholic Church – if not, you can click on that link, or they’re listed in the sidebar. I’m more saddened than I have words to say to see that the problems seem to be continuing. The Irish government has… Continue reading More troubles for the Catholic Church

The Daily Mail reports: A copy of the film’s script, written by Julian Fellowes, has revealed the risqué scene. An excerpt of the provocative script… Continue reading May we expect arrests for child pornography?
Any ‘military brats’ among my readers?

To my astonishment, I find there’s a very large body of work studying ‘military brats’. It seems to… Continue reading Any ‘military brats’ among my readers?
I wish I knew what they were saying!
I find this video clip of two very young twins absolutely fascinating. Judging from their body language, it seems clear they understand each other . . . but I don’t think any adult could possibly know what they were saying! Oh, for an interpreter . . . Peter

Fox 5 San Diego reports: “The Bippolo Seed and other Lost Stories” contains seven new stories written by Theodor Seuss Geisel. “In these stories,… Continue reading A new Dr. Seuss book!
A family needs your help
Courtesy of an e-mail from Brigid, I learned of the tragedy of Patrick Leister. Pat was the dude that walked around with a s*** eating grin glued to his face ALL.THE.TIME. No lie….ALL.THE.TIME. He was a walking party but when it was time to get down to business, he was all business. He worked in… Continue reading A family needs your help
Japanese commercial for McDonalds
Apparently this is advertising Happy Meals. Personally, I’d say whatever it is they’re eating has waaaaay too much sugar in it! Peter
The ultimate kids’ toy?
A Swiss billionaire has bought what may be the ultimate toy for his children. The Daily Mail reports: For anyone who has shed blood, sweat and tears creating a creaky play house for their beloved offspring, this beautifully sculpted version will come as a hammer blow. Costing £150,000 [about US $232,000] – almost as much… Continue reading The ultimate kids’ toy?
