Why does the realm of fast food have to be so creepy? Seriously, it took me a very long time to get used to the idea of "The King."
And now this:

Is it just me or does this seem like a very carefully orchestrated PR campaign?
Sherry Jones's novel, The Jewel of Medina, which may or may not have something to do with a wife of Muhammad, gets pulled because of concerns it may be "a declaration of war" against Islam. It's all so very 1989 to me. Time to...

If you're like a lot of my friends, you've got a postmortem contingency plan. It doesn't deal with wills; it's about having a living friend beat a fast track to your home or apartment and getting rid of certain things that, despite your being dead, you still wouldn't want the family to...

Apparently, the folks at Focus on the Family do this nifty little editing job on news articles that include words they don't like. WTF? I don't know. I don't imagine that many of their members can actually read and the ones that do probably do so only with great difficulty, a finger under the words and rebuses...

Don't you hate it when the body of a story doesn't live up to the headline?

Has anyone else noticed lately that there have been a few fairly eerie stories regarding criminals and the fast food industry. For instance, back in July, Tamien Bain, who was convicted for holding up a McDonald's at gunpoint and served around 14 years for the crime, took fourth place honors in penning a Big Mac...

Howdy all,
I'll be receiving bar coasters for The Screwed-Up Life of Charlie the Second, which I'll be making available on a first-come, first-serve basis for any bars/restaurants/cafes that might like to use them.
The coasters will be absolutely free for you--I'll even take care of shipping--and...

Okay, so I'm a total geek, but I just came across this really cool web site, Wordle, that lets you make "word clouds" from any text that you enter. You can tweak the font, style, color and all sorts of other things about your word cloud.
Here's the word cloud for the full text of The Screwed-Up Life of...

Ladies and gentlemen,
First, I'd like to thank all of you for entering the contest. It was fun to hold the raffle, but not so much fun trying to figure out how to use a random number generator off the Internet. In any event, this is just the first contest, so even if you didn't win this round, you're still entered...

Howdy all,
Well, the contest is officially closed. I'll announce the results later today. Just have to do some tallying and that sort of thing. It looks like there's a total of 10 prizes being given away, unless I miscounted.
If you don't win, don't sweat. There will be other contests in August/September and...
