IRREGARDLESS!!! When I was a kid, back about 4 decades ago, my father used this word without thinking about it until I corrected him once and he realized that it really irritated the cr*p out of me.

It's funny what people think is "too dangerous". I've known skydivers who would never go down into a cave and cavers who think only lunatics get out of a perfectly good airplane before it lands. (I've done both albeit only a few times each. Skydiving is scarier until the 'chute opens but i...

AAIIIIIIEEEEEE!!! DON'T LET IT OUT!!!!!

Used unicycles are readily available on Ebay. Good prices, low mileage. I got one a few years ago; I mean, one wheel can't be that difficult, right? I ride a bicycle and that has two wheels, fer cryin' out loud. So I spent several hours over the course a summer learning to stay up for a good 30 seco...

"Non omnes qui habemt citharam sunt citharoedi" Not really having any Latin, myself, does that read, "Not everyone having a cittern is a citternist"? ...in other words, just because you have a gizmo in your lap doesn't entitle you to play it. Cautionary advice for myself, too......

The only time the bathroom thing was a problem was when we had guests and an inadequately closed door was nosed open while the occupant was in no position to close it. We had a number of dogs over the years and getting up on the bed was generally acceptable. Consequently, the bedroom was off-limits ...

History and Lore In Roman times Arugula was grown for both it's leaves and the seed. The seed was used for flavoring oils. On another interesting note, Rocket or Arugula seed has been used as an ingredient in aphrodisiac concoctions dating back to the first century, AD. (italics added) from http://...

I'm at work and I just ordered a pizza rucola and a green salad with italian sauce from the pizza delivery man. ahhh... At first I read it as "Pizza ricola" - well, hey, Amar is Swiss, right? (or is he Swedish? No, Swiss I'm pretty sure... I mean, they're pretty much the same anyway) And ...
