Aqua huh?
It concerns me that the auto-flusher in the work bathroom is Aquaflush, and the toothpaste I use at home is Aquafresh.

Seeing Ghosts
[image error]I've started seeing ghosts in the house…and I don't think it's related to us watching Poltergeist over the weekend. Seriously, it's not related. Anyway here is what I have experienced this week…
Monday - sitting on the couch in the living room I saw in my right peripheral vision someone walk behind me and into the hallway. It happened twice. The first time was very faint, the second time it looked more like a person. Both times the image was foggy/milky looking. I was wearing my glasses at...

Drag Me To Hell
[image error]From Director Sam Raimi comes an absolute piece of junk. At least, that's what we thought of Drag Me To Hell – our movie of the day.
Every year when we get our Christmas tree, we choose a movie or two to watch to get us in the mood so to speak. This year we chose Drag Me To Hell. I never said we chose a holiday movie, just a movie, and this choice fits in with our horror needs…anyway.
What a big pile of crap. First there was absolutely nothing unique about the movie or the underlying plot...

Body Odor
There are times, when the odor of your body is too noticeable.
That quote comes from a management training video that we used to use, called "The Practical Coach". Incidentally, it's hosted by Michael Horton who played Grady Fletcher on Murder She Wrote.
The video talks about various management coaching scenarios that you might face in the workplace – one specifically about how to deal with an employee who comes to work with bad body odor. You'd think this is something that would resolve...

Egg Orgasm Anyone?
[image error]Apparently an egg can have an orgasm, and it feels like a spoon scraping the insides out of a soft-boiled version.
But even more shocking is that if you had actually been the one to compare a human orgasm to that, you would have won the Literary Review Bad Sex in Fiction Award.
Some people say there is no such thing as bad publicity…so why not have bad publicity for a sex metaphor.
Here for your reading pleasure is the full and complete phrase that won the title:
I came suddenly, a jolt that...

Promoting Racial Stereotypes
[image error]Shirt seen while standing in line for apple cider in Apple Hill.
I really don't know what to say about this, but I'm going to say it anyway. Does this shirt serve to break stereotypes or perpetuate them about black men? The first thing that popped into my head when I saw the shirt was not an upstanding, law abiding man, but a man being chased by police for robbing someone/something.
Maybe it's just that the second part of the phrase is "from the police" so that was the final thought in my...

Free Kindle Book Recommendation: Serial
[image error]I love a good horror story, and love it even more when it doesn't play around and just gets to the good stuff, and love it even more when it's FREE.
Serial is a very quick read – I got through it in less than 30 minutes, with a 5 minute interruption to get a beverage refill.
The book gets you from the opening line and doesn't stop there. I was sure after the first page that I was going to have nightmares after reading it (and I'm not sure that I won't).
Two deliciously macabre and evil stories i...
