I grew up in a large family, three brothers and three sisters. All of them older than I and all are probably around Cross’ age or older. When they sit and reminisce about events of our youth they all attach the wildest events of that time to me because I was the funny one. I’ve stopped arguing with them, but the past…

Plain-clothes detective. He showed me his badge. I expect it was his wallet, as I vaguely recall a plastic baggie of his personal effects on the gurney with the body, including the wallet.

I worked at a hospital as a security guard when I got out of college, and patrolled the buildings at night. Some shifts were in the car around the buildings but occasionally I worked the main building. On multiple occasions I found “geriatric” patients, although nothing as bad as this. I found a few sitting on benches…

This true story happened to me when I was about twenty.

I was working as a security guard after I got out of college because of the crap job market. I was living in the attic apartment of a house that had been turned into one and two-room apartments (with communal bathrooms). I got home at about 1:30 a.m. after my…

When I read the headline it made me think of a quip from my high-school history teacher.

The Conservative goverment in Canada that was just ousted made a habit of handing out written statemnets on policy etc. and they were known as the most secretive goverment in Canadian history.

I did call. Said so in the third sentence.

Apple stores are a disaster. It takes forever to get someone’s attention. I had a problem with my daugther’s laptop, called to make sure someone could handle the problem, drove out there (20 minutes) waited to get attention (10 minutes), had a “genius” look at the machine while I explained the problem (5 minutes),…

Jingle Bells, Someone Smells, Someone Laid an Egg! by Rocky Davies

Don’t look...

Well, admittedly, the guy who told me the story (let’s call him BT) was an *ss to begin with, so I wouldn’t be surprised if he made it up.

My boss at another company that I once worked for told me the reverse version of this story. Apparently he knew this guy, a young ad executive who was wining and dining some prospective new clients at an expensive steak house. He gives the waiter his platinum card to pay for the meal and the waiter comes back with the…

She is not a bear so ignore the aggressive hand gestures. I repeat, this is not a bear attack.

Not just the glasses, remember the hair.

I loved that the characters were actually speaking - with their mouths - and with real facial expressions. I hate all these games where the characters look like stiff mannequins and not people.

You know that they bought the rights to the short before creating that god-awful movie, right?

Not to be a grammar nazi, but it's "Assess" not "Asses". Really changes the whole nature of the sentence.

Release is 'supposed' to occur in October of this year.
