Dangerous Toys (Part 1)
Have you ever noticed how dangerous some of the toys we grew up playing with really are? Sure, there are some that are gentle, plush, and cuddly, but for every one of those there seems to also be one that is sneaky dangerous. By “sneaky dangerous” I mean that at first glance the toy seemsContinue reading “Dangerous Toys (Part 1)”
Strange Toys
Just a few pictures of some strange toys I’ve seen lately… Does anything about this toy seem strange? Perhaps the fact that Goliath is one of the characters in a series labeled “Almighty Heroes”? I guess the way that I’ve always heard and read the story was wrong. Apparently Goliath was the hero of theContinue reading “Strange Toys”
Maple Leaf Parade (2010 Edition)
A couple weekends ago we went to the annual Maple Leaf Parade in Carthage, MO. It’s a fairly big deal in our neck of the woods and we have gone every year for as long as I can remember. The parade is always good, but at this point it’s just as much about the traditionContinue reading “Maple Leaf Parade (2010 Edition)”
A Smashing Time

Either allContinue reading “Elevators Amaze Me”
Brown Paper Bags
Are the brown paper bags really fooling anybody anymore? I think at this point, if you see someone walking down the street drinking from a small paper sack, it’s fairly obvious what’s in the bag. In fact, it would probably be more inconspicuous to carry it without the sack.
Your Very Own Billboard
If your picture was on a billboard, would you look at it every time you drive past? Or would you look away every time you drive past? What is the proper amount of time to look at yourself on a billboard? What does it say about you if you stare at yourself on a billboardContinue reading “Your Very Own Billboard”
Bad + Bad + Bad = Good?
Lately it seems like I am constantly hearing of someone going through a difficult time. For whatever reason, painful times come in bunches. Whether it be physical, emotional, or financial pain or stressful situations, it seems like it’s never just one thing. Most of the time when I hear of many people going through toughContinue reading “Bad + Bad + Bad = Good?”
Drying Your Hands Should Not Be This Difficult
For some reason, a roll of paper towels on a horizontal rack is one of the most frustrating things that I repeatedly encounter in the bathroom. Is there anything more frustrating that standing there with soaking wet hands, pawing and clawing at a cheap roll of thin paper towels? It’s hard enough to find theContinue reading “Drying Your Hands Should Not Be This Difficult”
