Maybe this is more of an L.A. thing, but then again, maybe not. Quite often I’ll be sitting in my car in a long line of cars in traffic.
Perhaps there are two lanes heading in each directions. In between lanes, homeless people will often walk in between the cars seeking out donations.
This is when I [...]
Groundhog Day is pretty much a stupid and pointless holiday. It’s filled with moronic superstition, but even worse we don’t even get off of school/work for it!
The stakes on Groundhog Day aren’t very high. I say we up the ante.
If the groundhog does not see his shadow, it’s all good. Winter will soon be over.
However, [...]
If you’ve ever ventured to sporcle.com, it’s filled with countless different fun quizzes that you can take. It’s pretty much the best way to waste your time.
One quiz I took asked the question, “What are the top 10 countries in the world in terms of population of cats?”
The first country I guessed was the United [...]
I can’t imagine it would be sheep. After spending all day long dealing with these sheep, the last thing they’d want to do is think about more sheep.
Perhaps sheep herders don’t really have much trouble sleeping. I assume they’re working long days (you know, herding the sheep), and can often fall asleep shortly after the [...]
It’s just a risk you take when you (as a human) interact with wild animals. This goes for really any animal, too. Whenever I hear on the news that a tiger, shark, sting ray, or even a domesticated dog attacked somebody, I am not surprised.
I mean, I’m not saying I want animals [...]
I really have a pretty simple rule.
Back when I was a kid, perhaps between the ages of 4-7, I did my fair share of stepping on ants (on purpose). I grew out of that fairly quickly though, and started to become the warm and sensitive person that I am today. Seriously, I’m not a big [...]
Growing up I think all of us had a friend with a pet named “Oreo.” Usually intended for a black and white cat or dog, it’s possible that even some black and white rodents were named Oreo. If you named your pet Oreo, but it wasn’t even black and white, then [...]
I once wrote a post about how I believe that rabbits are relatively useless, and don’t make very good pets. While I still believe this to be true, I do have some sympathy for our fellow mammal. Besides the fact that rabbits make good makeup testers for cosmetic companies, the whole rabbit’s foot [...]
I once brought up the question, “Why is there no people food?”
http://thestabbingpen.com/2007/08/14/814-why-is-there-no-people-food/
I still haven’t really found out the answer to that question, but it seems to me the aforementioned items in the title of this post are pretty safe bets for intake of generic, yet consistent nutrition. Although vitamins aren’t really “food” —- looking at [...]
This seems to be a recurring theme both in my writing, and in my life — examples of legendary laziness in the 21st century.
A few weeks ago I was in my room writing with my friend Lance. I sit at the computer typing, and he’s nearby as we discuss what to put on the page. [...]
