Merry Jesusmas!

December 22, 2005

It’s no secret that every year at Christmas-time for the last decade or so, the Church of the American Taliban starts fighting their strawman adversaries who are plotting the imaginary War on ChristmasTM.

November 29, 2005

So, now that Thanksgiving is over (and we can all be thankful for that), it’s time to move on to Christmas.

Contest 2005 is Microsoft with the launch of its new pretty-damn-sweeeet gaming console, the XBox 360, which had nerds waiting for the stroke of midnight last night when the 360 officially went on sale.

Happy Halloween! And Some Other Stuff

October 31, 2005

It’s 7:46 PM and we’ve gotten more trick-or-treaters in the last couple of hours than we did during the previous three years combined. Cindy is so excited! She loves handing out candy and seeing all the kids in their cute little costumes. She’s not so thrilled with the older teenagers because most of them don’t [...]
