Because sometimes, during a transfer of power, it’s the most important information that gets handed over at the last minute…

LITTLE E: Dad! This [stuffed] puppy turned into a tiger! RAAARRRRR!
ME: Puppies don’t turn into tigers.
LITTLE E: This puppy turned into a tiger. [pause] RRAAAAAAARRRR!!
ME: Puppies turn into big dogs like Xena.
LITTLE E: THIS. PUPPY. TURNED. INTO. A TIGER!!!!
ME: Okay, if the puppy started out as Catherine Schell, then it can be a puppy that turns into a tiger.
LITTLE E: RAAAARRRRRR!!
I can see we’re not quite ready to tackle stuff like genetic drift and mutation just yet.… Read more
Conversation with the little guy on the way home today:
LITTLE E: I want to go home and eat pizza.
ME: I think Mom’s already got dinner planned.
LITTLE E: But I don’t like dinner. I don’t like it!
ME: Dinner isn’t pizza or green beans. Dinner is what time you eat at night. You like dinner just fine.
LITTLE E: I don’t like dinner.
ME: Do you like to eat food?
LITTLE E: Yes.
ME: Then trust me, you like dinner. At dinnertime, you get to eat food.
[pause]
LITTLE E: I don’t like to eat food.
ME: Great – that’ll save us a lot out of our budget. Thanks, buddy!
Me and Little E, solving the world’s problems together since 2007. We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.… Read more
Amazing true tales from OVGE 2010, a candidate for the dumbest prime-time TV promo ever, Pac-Man as a spectator sport, and lots of incoherent mumbling!

The true (but necessarily vague) tale of the time I had to sue someone for stealing from theLogBook.com. 😯 Also included: more weird radio stories, waterproof droids and… a cat on crack.

A couple of my Facebook friends recently posted some personality and intelligence test results courtesy of an app there. I’ve taken those same tests before, but it’s been a while; I went directly to the site for the tests rather than do the Facebook app (even before the recent revelations, I just don’t do Facebook apps) under a silly pseudonym. But what the heck, I’ll post the results here, even if I don’t want them to have my info. … Read more
War stories from the end of locally-owned radio. The goofiest radio commercials you’ve ever heard. Highly unprofessional and inadvisable behavior. Plus special appearances by little E and the Devil. 😯

I had a weird-ass dream last night. I do not know what it means. I should specify that my subconscious chose to ooze this one out in one of the brief bursts of REM sleep that I had between little E’s outbursts last night (he’s not feeling great). This dream happened between 5am and 8am this morning.
See if you can follow me on this one. … Read more
Dear Sonic, since when does “no pickles” translate to “take the entire number of pickles existing in our universe, multiply that number by sixteen, and put that many pickles in a junior double cheeseburger”?
For those who believe that might makes right: does might not make right not? Please discuss.… Read more
Dinner is cooking in the dashboard oven. Seriously.
Why build up excess heat in the house and run up the electric bill? It’ll take a bit more time than the oven would, but it’ll get the job done by the time I need to go get the little guy from daycare.
Or maybe you’d like a hot dog instead?
(Don’t worry, Xena’s doing just fine. Also note nice new window on the front of the house, replacing the one I accidentally blasted a hole through with a projectile thrown by the lawn mower…)… Read more
