Straight Talk in a Crooked World
I want a double cheeseburger, onion rings, and a large orange drink… please. About 20 years ago there was a Sunday night show on KMPS called Music with Moscowitz. It was the Puget Sound version of Doctor Demento. On this show, the host played an assortment of old, strange, and twisted songs and sound bites […]
Read More CheeseburgerIn the 1990s, Seattle became known for coffee, grunge, and political correctness. Thankfully one local comedy troupe had the wherewithal to poke fun at every niche of Seattle-area society anyway– no one was spared. Saturday nights at 11:30, Almost Live created memorable characters like the High Five’n White Guys, Jet Guy, and The Survivalist. They […]
Read More Almost LiveA recent conversation spurred me to consult a website I’ve had saved as a favorite for years, The Phobia List: http://phobialist.com/. Anxieties and phobias are often rooted in trauma, so some of these issues are very real to people. They don’t have to make sense to the outside world; what matters is how they make […]

Having just blogged about this very phenomenon, the blatant refusal of drivers in the Puget Sound area to get out of the passing lane, I am delighted to see Pemco taking note of […]
Read More Go Pemco!Some pictures just beg to be captioned. It’s funny how, when you look at a photo or picture, your mind can immediately think of a caption that’s different from the intended message. I saw this first aid class ad at work and couldn’t help myself. Friends and family will recognize that I’m giving a nod […]

Read More FestivusThis is one of the funniest videos I’ve seen in awhile. Some friends and I laughed so hard we cried when we watched this. Alan! Alan! Alan! Alan! http://www.wimp.com/animalvoiceovers/
Read More Animal Voice-oversThis falls into the “don’t try this at home” category. I have nothing personal against Burger King, and used to love the gold cardboard crowns you could get there. But the Burger King falls into the category of characters I do not want to meet in a dark alley, and it looks like I’m not […]
