The Truth About Moe
At last, the truth behind Moe Lane’s blogging awesomeness. You will be shocked. Brace yourself. PS. How cool is it that Moe’s showing off his XKCD geek cred? Also, I’d show off my blogging domain, but it is not at all impressive and incredibly nerdy. Incredibly.
The Moon Landing, One Right Cross for A Man, and Eddie Izzard
Forty years ago today, a human being walked on the moon. It was, I think, the high-water mark for sheer audacity, technical genius, masterful improvisation, and soul-enriching grandeur. Today, it seems like a given that once Apollo 11 leaped toward the sky on a 36-story skyscraper full of high explosive*, it would reach the moon [...]
Phyllostachys Edulis Delenda Est*

Happy Birthday to Him! (Update: And Him!)
Today is Moe Lane’s birthday! He’s 39, which is still firmly in the Young Whippersnapper camp so far as I’m concerned. Go on over and, if you’re feeling generous, put a few ducats in his tip jar. Birthday boys need birthday toys, don’t you know. UPDATE: It’s Dan Collins’ birthday also. Go share a cup [...]
This Takes The Notion of “Having Some Skin in the Game” to a New Level
It’s one thing to stage a Tea Party to protest the insane spending Congress has approved in the past few months. But a Naked Tea Party? Well, now you’re talking! Toss a drop-dead gorgeous woman into the protest mix and just watch the ground-swell build (*cough*). Why, other gorgeous women will fairly leap to participate! [...]
