Primitive Booty Call

How far removed are we from our primitive ancestors? According to this study, it's not very far. A new study found that male monkeys will give up their juice rewards in order to ogle pictures of female monkey's bottoms. The way the experiment was set up, the act is akin to paying for the images, [...]

Poll Position

The other negative, which will receive attention, to come from this election was the off-base exit polls. There is a lot of speculation as to why they were off, especially since they historically have been accurate enough to call elections by. Already the conspiracy theorists blame the exit polls' links to the main-stream-media. I've seen [...]

Disappearing Act

I've been travelling the last two weeks, working on a project that has been consuming my entire life. I've had to choose between my client and my blog. Since my client pays me and since they required so much attention, I let the blog go for a couple of weeks. I have several stories I [...]

Mervyn's

I got all weepy and nostalgic when I read that Target Corporation is going to sell Mervyn's. I used to work at a Mervyn's store in Irving, Texas in the late 80s. I worked in the Receiving department and unloaded trucks of apparel. I dated a couple of girls that worked there, too. Ahhh, good [...]
