It’s all fun and games here

I made the decision to pull any stories of my families ordeals out of my SoApBoX Section.

The original purpose of it was to tell tales of hardship, endurance and ultimately victory. To give people who found themselves in a similar situation some hope, and possibly a solution…

… the only problem is most people on the web are vindictive idiots.

A serious note about prostate cancer

Well, no. Not really. Maybe, depending on your maturity level.

Personally, I like to consider myself “really mature for a seventh grader”.

Dr. D. links to a story which recommends “preventative care”, and it’s his professional opinion that men “clean their rifles every day to keep prostate cancer at bay.”.

Last Call for the Newsletter contest…

There’s some really funny stuff in the comments, I definitely think there will be several winners.

Oh, and have you subscribed yet? It’s freeeeeee…..

If you’re not sure, you can punch in your email address and it will either add you or tell you you’re already in the database.

LAST CALL FOR ENTRIES!!!!!!

Must be the heat

As the ugly clusterf*ck that we like to call the blogosphere continues in all its anger and self-righteousness and cowardly trolldom, I have to wonder if perhaps Dan has the right idea.

I have officially hit my “flame quota” for the week.

I’d like to remind you that the “name the newsletter title” contest is still going on for the two or three people on the planet that is still speaking to me.

Attacks on commenters will no longer be tolerated here.
(Unless they’re really really funny. It’s a judgment call)
Disagreement is cool. It sparks discussion.

Well, I’m not quite sure

Well, I’m not quite sure if I’m welcome here anymore but I wanted to point a few things out.

1. The original intention of my post was to point out how Beermary has a track record of mis-reading things and attacking people. It’s now a train wreck gone out of control.

2. Donna and I were two *completely different* incidents totally unrelated to this “anti-gay” thread disaster.

3. Calling someone on my site an asshole makes you no better than these guys swinging off my chandelier and dropping banana peels on my floors right now.

4. I’ve stood by Matt’s remarks in my comments.

I’m not sure where you got the impression that I was delinking you, but I happen to enjoy your topics and your insight, as you’ve been around the block. Whether you wish to write off a slew of us over one topic gone awry… well, that’s your decision, and I’ll respect that.

Maybe it’s the heat. I know I’ve really been edgy the past couple of weeks.

Don’t get up. I know the way out…

Name the newsletter title contest…

I’ll probably be sending out another WHUZZUPDATE! Newsletter out on Monday. I had some issues with the mailer back in May, which resulted in a lot of undeliverable mail to

  • AOL addresses
  • POP3 emails
  • ISPs with very strict spam filters
  • … and well, dead emails as my mailing list was pulled off my Yahoo Club circa 2000.
  • Continue reading “Name the newsletter title contest…”

    Dear Eric Brooks' of the world

    While I do enjoy the occasional “WOW! Another Eric Brooks in the world, what an amazing coincidence…” emails (as if you’ve never looked in the white pages to find that there’s at least 200 of them in New York City alone, not to mention a major Marvel Comics character, a murderer, an actor/producer, a rapper and a country music singer.)…
