I'm OK, You're Fat

By Donal on Mon, 03/21/2011 - 3:25pm | Health

A while back, my wife told me that one of her relatives was trying a new diet. The woman is plump but not obese, eats processed food, and only gets exercise at work, so I thought it might be a good idea. But then I heard that she had spent a thousand dollars up front for the diet. And just recently I learned the name for the diet: HCG Skinny. So I looked it up:

Disaster Flick

By Donal on Tue, 03/15/2011 - 1:08pm |

So I wrote this disaster flick.

-Really? Why?

Well, I had some things I wanted to say.

-In a disaster flick? OK, tell me about it. What happens to what city?

The setting is a small Japanese city.

-Oh, a monster movie! I love it!

No, no monsters. It starts with an earthquake ...

- ... which releases the monsters. C'mon, you're messing with tradition here.

Sorry, I don't want monsters.

Klingons Attack

One of my pet peeves is people that don't shower before swimming in a public pool. Even in upper class neighborhood clubs and Ys, I always see Type A guys that rush in, yank on their jammers and rush out of the locker room to get a lane in the pool. No one is as clean as they'd like to imagine.
