You may have heard that Randy Moss was waived earlier this week by the Minnesota Vikings. He was is the talented, if hard to deal with, wide receiver that the Vikes needed to win the Super Bowl. Laughing. All MN fans knew he would arrive with a big helping of flair, drama, obnoxiousness but hey, [...]
The Guy With the Penis Tattoo
Posted in November 2nd, 2010
Editor Note: Like you, I read this story and had a good laugh about it. And, I admit, I even thought of writing something about it. But leave it to my friend Scott Adams (Hey, he emailed me once!!) to turn this story into a real learning example. All parents should give this to their [...]
Explaining the Time Traveler Video
Posted in October 28th, 2010
By now you have seen the video of the obvious time traveler seen in a 1928 Charlie Chaplin movie outtake. Here’s my take: 1. If this is indeed a time traveler, why go back in time as a frumpy old lady? Why not go back a few years first, say, to your 20′s when your [...]

Viral Marketing and Double Rainbows

I am not terr-i-ble at popular culture. I know that LinLo is going back to jail soon, that the campy Situation appeals to some people for whatever reason and I even TIVO Dancing With The Lingerie Models Stars, you know, so I can see who gets eliminated. Still, it is hard to keep up when [...]

Some Days I Want To Kick a Small Animal
Posted in September 7th, 2010
By CAL (curmudgeon at large) Did you hear that the Department of Labor just started their very own job board? Evidently, the nation’s 75,000 job boards are not doing the job. So someone thought, “Hey, why don’t we get into the job board business, too? Plus this will be an evergreen type program, no one [...]
Was This a Problem?
Posted in September 1st, 2010
I see today that Nike has filed a patent for self-lacing shoes. I just keep missing these revolutionary breakthrough ideas. But to keep it in perspective, I also said no one would ever buy high priced coffee. And I thought the Mall of America was a gigantic waste of space and money. (My grandfather famously [...]
