I have to tell this story first. Back in 1982, when I was a freshman at Hamilton College, I participated in a theatrical production of the Greek play Lysistrata. My part wasn’t that big – I was a member of the Greek chorus that commented on the storyline. My costume at the time? A grey…

Nice try, scammer – go back under the bridge with the other trolls.
Let me make this as clear as crystal. I. HATE. SCAMMERS. I hate trolls, griefers, swindlers, anybody who tries to steal my money, ruin my equipment, or ruin my reputation. And believe me, there are people out there in 2014 that will do that to you. Don’t ever think differently. Case in point. Last Friday,…
Read MoreHarley-Davidson’s warranty voided over patriotism?
David Zien loves his Harley-Davidson motorcycles and he loves his country. His Harley-Davidson chariots have transported him for over four decades, and in 2009, his 1991 Harley FXRT motorcycle achieved over one million miles, earning it enshrinement in a motorcycle museum in Sturgis, S.D.

Read MoreFLY 92.3 uses “haji-marts” lyric in parody song
I get it. I really do. Radio stations do parody songs. They have funny stunts. They have wacky morning crews that produce promotions to draw attention to themselves.

It should be noted that the anatomy lab contains several medical…
Read MoreWarning: Do not use Nike Air Jordans to beat someone to a pulp
The classic example of chutzpah is the story of a man who killed both his parents and, upon his arrest, begged for mercy from the court because he’s now an orphan. Well, we may now have a brand new example of chutzpah, thanks to a man named Sirgiorgiro Clardy. The happy-looking man you see here…
Read MoreThe feel-good story that lied to you
Wow, there’s the story of someone who wrote a message on the tip line of a credit card slip. What is it? A message about how the diner won’t leave a tip because the waitress leads a lifestyle of which the customer doesn’t approve? Or is it a tip of over $5,000 as part of…
Read MoreThe new nasty “Facebook trap” game
Last night, as I was trying to get some sleep, I checked my Facebook page. Figured I’d comment on what some of my friends were up to. Oh look, here’s one of my friends from college, whom I just “friended” on Facebook a few months ago. Interesting… She’s posted a few things about her life,…
Read MoreTime Warner Cable does a nice … I guess.
I suppose it’s a fait accompli to gripe and kvetch about Time Warner Cable. The rates go up almost every other month. You can set your sundial to the time when they’ll show up for an installation. And they rival the post office in trying to upsell you on their various packages and offerings. Well,…

I was out running errands on Saturday morning, and after pulling into a parking lot and doing some shopping, I returned to my car – and realized the exterior of Chevrolet Cobalt SS wasn’t as clean as I would have liked. And I wanted to visit my girlfriend Nicole that afternoon, and there’s no way…
