Little Hoover Dam Break
by Steve West on March 2, 2008
This week's mini-flood o' links.
Ridiculous weatherman names. These are real. My wife subjects me to #11 nightly. I hate that guy.
List and video clips of the greatest horror movie weapons. I'd use any on #11 above. Twice.
My new band name: The Low Blood Pressures
Bach's Air on bottles.
Give this guy money in advance and he claims he'll send you stuff in the mail.
Best of TV show putdowns.
Looking for that latest addition to your headless doll collection? Better hurry. According to this guy, they're selling fast.
Stand-up of the week: Pablo Francisco

Golly! I think I'll send that guy $10 to think about me for a minute. I could use some deep contemplation! :P
Although, some star sand from Iriomote would be cool. I'd want to go there myself, though. I want to see one of those Iriomote cats I've heard so much about!!

That guy is a genius. I should have thought of it first.
But... *I* can think about you for *two* minutes for $15, Aaron -- I'm sure that I don't need to point out what a savings that is (25%!) -- what a deal! ...Or I could just do it for free. But no e-mail confirmations for that price -- sorry.

My Child is a Kite
Parenting is like flying a kite. When I was a boy of nine, I went out to fly a kite on the banks of the Potomac River. The Virginia border sat just across the river. Go »Guns are Not Really a Laughing Matter

I got a surprise visit from Amy Austin today. She was passing through Maryland on her way to Florida and took the time to call me from the road. I was thrilled that she thought of me being in the area and invited her to visit for what could only be a brief visit. Go »Christmas and a Lizard's Tale
One Christmas when Lauren was eight, like a lot of girls her age, wished for a pony. My backyard at the time was about the size of a Volkswagen Minibus. Despite her assurances that she would let it roam the neighborhood for sufficient exercise, I said, “Not this year,” as I pictured myself following the horse with a pooper scooper.

For those of you who will be pulled over by the police and asked the inevitable question, "Because I'm smokin' hot" is not the correct answer to "Do you know why I pulled you over?" Live and learn. Go »
