Memorial Day, again
Today is the day that we look back into our history and try to recognize all those that came before us who sacrificed for our country. Whether they gave their lives on the battle field, or left good jobs only to have them disappear while they were away, today is the day we try to say thank you. There are lots of traditional ways to say thanks to the soldiers of old; throw a parade, wave a flag...
Happy Memorial Day everyone.
The main difference
This is the difference that I perceive between the ad campaigns of Old Spice products and Axe products.
Old Spice: Here, be someone women will want to be with.
Axe: Here is the something that will help you control those conniving bitches that wouldn’t sleep with you otherwise.
I’ve been using Old Spice since before I could shave, but I am happy with what the brand name has become.

(Moby) Dick Jokes
Reading Moby Dick has been a tedious task for me. But, in chapter 94, it might finally be worth it. Sperm whales are called that because “sperm” is short for spermaceti, the type of oil that is found in sperm whales. In the book, “sperm” is used as an abbreviation for the oil. This is wonderful because it creates paragraphs like this.
Squeeze! squeeze! squeeze!...

Marine Corps Exercise: Jack Webb’s
The Jack Webb is a jumping exercise that is named after the famous Dragnet actor who once played a Drill Instructor in the 1957 movie “The D.I.” (I’ve seen it, 4/5, not bad so see it if you get a chance).
The exercise is performed as follows:
The starting position is standing up, hands held straight up above the head, feet shoulder...

What IS in a name?
I’ve noticed an odd trend that I’ve never heard anyone else speak of. Maybe it is just me. It might be something uniquely American, although I do not have a cultured-enough knowledge base to say one way or another.
It seems that people have taken more of an interest in words than they have in their meanings. This seems especially true when it comes to the words that apply...
Playing Card Triva
The Nine of Diamonds is known as the Curse of Scotland.
Why? (copied from Wikipedia)
It was the playing card used by Sir John Dalrymple, the Earl of Stair, to cryptically authorise the Glencoe Massacre. Certainly there is a resemblance between the nine of diamonds and his coat of arms.
The Duke of Cumberland is supposed to have scribbled the order for “no quarter” to be given after...

sapphirerabbit:
May 12, 2001, was a really eventful day for me. I had a garage sale with my parents because we were about to move. I studied for the SATs I would take a few days later. I sprained my ankle pushing something up the driveway.
Then, I spent 2 hours forcing my hair to do things it didn’t want to do….
Geez, how could you stay with a guy this cheesy?
