Things That Make You Go Hmm

This morning I was out and about when I happened upon a sign that made me burst into howls of laughter: I turned around and came back to get a picture of it. Spying some construction workers at the site next door, I pulled up and said, “Hi! You working on that house?” (pointing gesture). […]

Harlem Shake: Washing Machine

Evidently there’s a new dance craze this month called the Harlem Shake. Basically someone dances by themselves to a crazy electronic song until the bass line kicks in, and then everyone else joins in wearing random costumes. Believe me, anyone can do this dance– no mad skillz required. I think my family probably made this […]

Secret Santa?!!

Secret Santa– WHO ARE YOU?!! Today I received a cheery mystery package with a return address of “Santa, North Pole.” It came in Saturday but I was unable to retrieve it until today. Because I wasn’t expecting a package, I wasn’t sure how to respond. Initially I was excited. When I saw the package, my […]

Festivus 2012!

This December 23rd, as people wrap the latest versions of iPads and iPods and iRobots and Nooks and Kindles and other technological must-haves that might invalidate in-person communication and contact permanently, I bid everyone a happy Festivus. Unfamiliar with Festivus? My original Festivus article is at https://wildninja.wordpress.com/2010/12/23/festivus/. From that I borrow a brief discussion of […]

To Regift or Not To Regift?

Cue the following traumatic recollections of real life regifting situations: 1. “Oh, thank you so much for this ______. It’s our favorite.” “Yeah, dad’s boss got that for him.” (crickets) 2. “Oooohhhhh, thank you… that will look nice on the, uh, mantel, um, yeah” (trying not to let on that you bought that item for […]

In Case of Emergencies…

Zazzle.com made my morning by alerting me to this slightly altered version of the popular WWII-era propaganda poster. Well said! Now I know exactly what to do when hostile alien entities show up to jack my DVD player. ************************************************************************************* ©2012 H.

Vote for John

Thanks to Amy Rolph at the Seattle PI for sharing this video from The 206 crew. If you’re a fan of the old Almost Live series, you’ll recognize who’s involved instantly. There is so much truth to this video. For years this has been the typical format for a campaign video in Washington State– showing the candidate engrossed in […]

Get Yourself…

..back to church. That’s the mantra in this hilarious video by the pastors at Gold Creek Community Church in Mill Creek, Washington. The Herald just wrote a feature on this and its controversial rap star lifestyle content. Love it or hate it— some detractors have questioned if this is the appropriate way to present the […]

Ya Gotta Personal Problem?!!

Seven years ago I was walking into work and had an abrupt “things that make you go hmm” moment when I saw this new sign. Clearly it was supposed to say “personnel,” but I had to wonder if the folks at the sign company were having a bit of fun. Soon after I pointed out […]
