Nertz is definitely a staple of our family. My sisters tend to win just about every hand, but it is very thrilling.

You can tell this is fake because there are more trees in this picture than in the whole of North Dakota.

I really enjoyed Bonzo Dog on Do Not Adjust Your Set. Didn't know they were also in Magical Mystery Tour. I really have to get around to watching that someday.

Unless you are implying that the difference between cows and bison are that bison are "extra hairy," then I have a relative that would like to challenge your assertion that regular cows are not terrifying and murderous.

I tend to like Elseworld stories because they give the writers a chance to play with a character without having to worry about continuity, but you may be right. While there may be some advantages to not having to tie all of their properties into one shared universe, if every show and movie are essentially their own,…

But Hans did pretty well in the fight against that giant snow monster. He had help, but still.

My wife has a grandmother like that. She is always so judgmental about everything and everybody. Any problems you have are a result of some type of personal failing. The only "real" diseases are depression and fibromyalgia, and only because she has those. Despite being incredibly wealthy, common Christmas presents to…

Dirty diapers are never fun to change, but it really isn't so bad when it is your own baby. Even after all of the experience I have accumulated, do not ask me to clean a dirty diaper that does not belong to my child.

Worked at a movie theater and that was a common issue too. Ordered large popcorn, double butter, candy and, because they are watching their weight, a large Diet Coke.

Used to get calls for a local business at our number on occasion, but those were always tame. It was the other wrong numbers that get interesting. I once argued with a drunk person for about five minutes trying to convince them that there was nobody named Leroy at the number she called. The best, though, was when…

He may be the youngest American grandmaster, but not by much. Grandmaster B was pretty young, too.

Weightlifting is probably your best bet. There are any number of programs you can find online for beginners. Two of the most popular, that I know of, are Starting Strength and Stronglift 5x5. Check them out and see which one works for you. If you are looking for a class or group-type atmosphere, you may not have much…

Just bought 2 cords of 8', unsplit logs for this winter. Should be a good time getting them down to size.

Iron Man and Bridesmaids are more recent releases, but looking at the rest of the list, Goodfellas is from the 90s, everything else is even earlier. They may not be going into the early days of cinema, but I wouldn't accuse them of being biased towards recent releases.

"Her shirt arms have a few utilitarian looking straps attached and it covers both midriff and chest completely. She may wear gloves and have "star wars" type wraps on the forearms.

Makes you wonder about the kid. Do you think he went through the rest of his life carrying some pretty crazy guilt for killing Houdini, or was he going around bragging about how he was so strong that he he literally killed a man who was known for his ability to take a punch.

"The best answer to any question is "I don't know." It's the not knowing that leads to discovery and new knowledge."

While I consider myself a fan of Stallone's movies, I am much closer to a disciple of Dolph.

Heard somewhere that, at its peak, there were claims that there were as many as 2 million satanist groups in the United States. At that time, there was about 250 million people in the county. Assuming each "group" had only 2 people in it, there had to have been at least 4 million satanists, or one satanist for every…
