One thing that’s common in every town, big town, across this great country of ours is homeless people. No matter where you go, you’re sure to find ‘em. But this post isn’t about how much I don’t like them or anything like that. No, I don’t mind them – except for when they stand at an intersection next to your car with a cardboard sign that reads, “Very hungry. Please help. God bless.” That’s right – God bless. Take a moment to let that irony soak in, and then we’ll talk more.

Free Refills and Their Relationship With Being Cool
So, I don’t understand when people who work for awful jobs don’t just let me get stuff for free. Let me explain. Sometimes, I’ll go to a place and order a water. Then, instead of getting water, my cup will veer over to the Pepsi Cola. Yes. I understand that its cheap, but its not like I’m bringing a date to McDonalds and then being even more cheap on top of that. This happens when I’m by myself or with a friend who appreciates such thrift.

Seinfeld or Friends?
You’ve all heard the debate. Each was the #1 show in its prime. Each was a mainstay on NBC’s Must See TV Thursday lineup, holding down the tradition set forth by The Cosby Show and Cheers. Each went out on top, leaving its loyal viewers wanting more. But which show was better? That’s a debate that rages on today. But there is one thing about the two sitcom giants that remains a clear science – they are a belleweather of a successful relationship. It’s a fact, the best relationships are the ones where the guy and girl are divided. One likes Seinfeld, the other likes Friends.
Screature Attacks!
I was lying around, minding my own business on Saturday morning when I came across a commercial for the Screature. This commercial seemed normal at first, some stupid kid playing with some awesome new dinosaur toy – then came the Screature Attacks portion, at about 18 seconds in.

Taco Bell: Most Awkward Fast Food Experience
Before I begin, let me just say that I love Taco Bell. I love it for it’s ability to Americanize a Mexican tradition. I love it for how late it’s open. And I love it for how inexpensive it can be (althought it’s hard to resist the Chicken Quesadilla at 2 in the morning). But there’s one thing Taco Bell’s across the country have started doing that is really starting to annoy me – greeting me with a “How are you doing today?” at the drive thru.
The Karate Kid
This post has nothing to do with the classic 80’s movie starring Ralph Macchio. No, this post is dedicated to that one random kid (and I stress random) that you find out is an incredible martial artist. I feel like at a point in everyone’s life they’ve had the experience of finding out that the kid who sat behind them in Social Studies was a black belt in Akido or one of those stupid forms of karate.

The Ancient World’s Worst Wonder
I believe there is a fraud among the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. An imposter. A structure that cheapens the name “Wonders of the Ancient World.” And I think you all know what I’m talking about – the Mausoleum of Maussollos at Halicarnassus.

Superman Is the Best Comic Hero
All right comic book lovers, your time has come. Today, I’m posting because there are thousands upon thousands of graphic novels out there in the world, featuring tons of different superheroes, from Batman to Spiderman to Green Lantern to X-Men (and many others that I am confident I’m unaware of). But I don’t need to be well-read in the comic book genre to understand one thing – Superman is better than any of them. Which brings me to my question: how can you even support another superhero?
Subway: Americas Favorite Domestic Dispute
I like a good sandwich. I even like the prospect of only paying five dollars for twelve inches of health conscious meat, cheese and bread. On paper, Subway and I are a dream match up. But here’s the kicker – none of the things on paper account for what happens when you actually go into a Subway.
Just Throw It Away
You’re hungry. You don’t have much, but you do have some peanut butter and some bread. Sounds like a sandwich is in order. So you open the bag, reach over and around (carefully avoiding the heel of the bread) and grab two soft, perfectly-crusted pieces. It’s PBJ time!…. Now here is where I gotta stop and ask – why not just throw the heel away?? You aren’t gonna eat it. You know it. Just throw it away and save yourself the hassle every time you need some bread.
