March 23rd, 2009 · 1 Comment

December 19th, 2008 · No Comments

And the guilt is focused on us men. The ads tell us that we must buy sparkling jewels for our women or face the consequences.
The first ad from Helzberg Diamonds. In the ad, a guy gives his girlfriend’s Yorkie a bath. [...]

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:

Screaming Eggs

October 19th, 2008 · No Comments

Ok, a short break from Sarah Palin and politics.
JJ wanted me to post this video. It’s one of his favorites on YouTube, and I’d rather have him visiting my site instead of there.

September 21st, 2008 · No Comments

September 1st, 2008 · No Comments
