I thought it would be fun to gather up some of my favorite tweets and put them on here in their own special place; kind of like a favorites column, but on the blog instead of the twitter feed.  Little did I know that it would take me a month of Sundays and more patience than I was willing to give to get it up and running. It took FOREVER to go back and go through them, but the end result is the gems you see here and not some of the less funny ones.  Of course, some of you may disagree and say that these should have been thrown out as well.  I wish I had saved some of WeaselMomma’s tweets when we were doing the Ted Kennedy Pick up lines thread, they were golden.  Going forward I will be adding my favorite tweets from others as well, and not just my own; you didn’t think I was that narcissistic, did you?  Just click on the Philosophical Tweets button on the right, or click here.  Hope you like them.

If you are a resident of planet Earth, then you know that the New Orleans Saints won the Super Bowl last night.  I came across a link to this picture and was amazed when it came up.  I was dumbstruck by how much it said without uttering a single sound.  I think the Pulitzer Prize people should just give this →

I've noticed a trend recently in web ads.  The days of the dancing cowboys are over.  So are the days of the dancing alien.  Actually, they've been over for a while, but the good folks at Lower My Bills dot com have changed tactics once again to continue to bring you ads that have absolutely nothing to do with the →

Andy Warhol famously once said; "In the future, everyone will be famous for 15 minutes."  He should have doubled it for my friend Sergio Grado.  Sergio, or "Serts" as he was known when we were younger, will be featured for a 30 minute segment on tonight's episode of Renovation Nation on the Discovery Channel's "Planet Green" channel.  The show is →

I have some pretty random thoughts sometimes.  Most of you who follow this blog regularly, or those who have access to my medical files, understand that.  I've mentioned before that I cracked my head open 8 times before I was 6 years old; not just bumps on the head, mind you, but real injuries that required stitches and everything.  It's →

North Carolina rang in the New Year with legislation enacted on January 4th that banned smoking in all bars and restaurants.  Snidely DoGooder, economist and Job Destruction Czar for the state of North Carolina summed it up this way; "For too long the evil tobacco companies provided our country with over 15 Billion dollars and our state with over 171 Million →

There is a new product on the market sure to keep your insurance card busy.  They're called Fun Slide Carpet Skates, or, as I like to call them; "Suture City!"  I'm not sure how long they've been around, but I saw the commercial for the first time tonight.  Basically, what you have here is berber ice skates.  Kids, or drunk →

The NukeKids got a Wii for Christmas.  Guess who is now obsessed with conquering Mario Kart and every stinking one of his unholy giant duck, cow in the middle of the road, turtle tossing levels?  Yep; it's me.  I will slay Mario Kart or I will die trying.  Here's the deal: the NukeKids have played Mario Kart many times before →

This post is an encore presentation that I wrote for another site from last year.  It's still one of my favorites. Enjoy. The kids love a trip to the Dollar Store.  You know, those bastions of consumer nirvana that have you thanking your lucky stars that you popped in today.  Who knew that they would be featuring Phil Simms' latest book?  →

I've got issues with NukeMom.  It's nothing major, just a little food faux pas that drives me crazy.  She's an Ice Cream Candlewicker.  Don't Google that, I just made it up.  What exactly is an Ice Cream Candlewicker you ask?  She's one of those people that will only dig half way through the 1/2 gallon carton when dishing ice cream.  →
