Humor: Pun Intended

It seems fitting for Friday to be the day that I add these 18 puns to the web site…enjoy or groan at your leisure. 

1. Two antennas met on a roof, fell in love and got married. The ceremony wasn’t much, but the reception was excellent.

2. A jumper cable walks into a bar. The bartender says, ‘I’ll serve you, but don’t start anything. [Read more...]

No Bailout for Small Business? What about for Charity?

This full page advertisement was in the Orlando Sentinel Wednesday, December 10th. I am a big suporter of the Russell Home and certainly hope this works. In reality, I seriously doubt the Senator will even make the phone call to Mr. Jenkins…but I hope so! [Read more...]

Shure Has More Money Than You.


OK, this week’s stupid (or at least annoying) marketing campaign goes to Shure Headphones.

Shure is combating the tough economy by throwing in a free shirt for those that purchase their SE420 earphones ($399 retail). 

The shirt? Well pictured here is says “My Earphones Cost More Than Your (ipod photo).

Way to be sensitive to those that are trying to figure how to have a house for the holidays let alone buy pricey headphones.

Rod Blagojevich Finds New Low…

Slow Bleed Test #231 – You are Illinois Governor, you know you are already under investigation for various elements of fraud, do you… 

A. Try and clean up your act?

B. Pretend it is not a problem since Obama has been elected?

Oh my God…you chose “C”???!!!  - who would have thought anyone could be soooo corrupt and soooo stupid at the same time?!. Hell, even the bad guys in Batman have minions that run around do some of the dirty work. [Read more...]

Can you Make Money Blogging?

Once people find out that I have about five blog sites the next question is always the same. “Can you make money blogging?” 

I suppose the answer depends on whom you ask. If I was in the business of selling you blog engines and sites I would probably say “oh yea, tons of money to be made”. There are plenty of people out there that will sell you something promising Internet wealth. I think the only ones making big money in that group are the ones doing the selling. [Read more...]

Maybe I Shouldn’t be “Off the Grid”

“Get out of the rat race.” “Slow down a bit.” “Go to the country.” “Relax.” -  I don’t need any more suggestions thank you.

Tracy and I just got back from spending a week in the Blue Ridge Mountains and I, once again, learned I am not very good “getting away from it all.” I was looking for excuses to leave the cabin and head to one of the few towns within an hour drive. 

How bad am I? [Read more...]

Look, Shiny New Oil Barrels…

It is starting. Low gas prices are luring Americans away from the desire to establish fuel independence. 

I have to admit, I am not a huge “go green” guy. By that I mean I am not on a sidewalk carrying a sign demanding some company changes their behavior, but I do believe that we must, as a country, engage in this new industry. [Read more...]
