It was funny… and then it sucked.

Yet again, Durham went crazy. But this time there were bad ass boot chains.

Holy Flaming Crap, I love whoever did this.

As you all know, I haven’t had much to write about lately. Last night, in a fit of writer’s block frustration, I posted the following request for material on twitter: “i need something to write about. somebody light some poo in a bag on fire and leave it by my front door or something.” AND… [keep reading]

Balls on the Table

Amy — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 01:25:40 +0000

Seriously people, is there anything more disturbingly fascinating than balls? The thing that I find the most interesting about balls is what some guys choose to do with them. Take, for instance, my friend Fake Name. Fake Name used to use his balls to signal when he was done with something. If he was out… [keep reading]

Thirty and a Half is the new 40

This past August I passed gracefully into my 30s. It really wasn’t a big deal–I was still hip, I was still cool (no I wasn’t). I wore Converse sneakers and listened to the Top 20 on 20 (when I wasn’t listening to 90s on 9). As it turns out, 30 may not have been… [keep reading]

Amish Nightmare

“I have a question to ask you,” my friend told me over the phone. She sounded a little nervous, and I wondered what in the world she could want. “Would you be interested in taking an Amish bread starter?” Really, that was it? A bread starter? That sounded pretty harmless. “It’s okay if you… [keep reading]

A Pack of Wild Animals

I have a cat who used to mark his territory by peeing on things. In college he liked my roommate the best, so he peed on her quilt. While we were on our honeymoon he peed on Steve and my wedding gifts. Once I was writing a paper on the many revisions F. Scott Fitzgerald… [keep reading]

Cured by Co-Pay

After a bout of exceptional clinginess, crabbiness and waking up at unacceptable times of the morning for the past few days, Just Barely the Youngest woke up from her nap yesterday with a high fever. The ear thermometer registered at 102.7–I couldn’t subject her to the rectal. A Motrin-Tylenol one-two punch brought it down to… [keep reading]

Lend Me Your Ear

Amy — Wed, 15 Aug 2007 19:39:00 +0000

My baby just spit up. In my ear. I was trying to spend some rare quiet time with her and was holding her over my shoulder and rocking her when she leaned back just enough to get the right angle and regurgitated her lunch in my ear. It then ran down my neck and… [keep reading]

Seriously, Could This Day Get Any Crappier? Part III of the Epic Series: A Really Crappy Day

Amy — Mon, 26 Mar 2007 13:16:00 +0000

(Be sure to read “A Really Crappy Day: Parts I and II” first)

When I heard a stool being dragged across the bathroom floor and the faucet being turned on, I assumed that, after sufficiently studying the poop in the toilet, Ella had decided to wash her hands. Because my back was to the… [keep reading]

The whole way home Addison voiced her opinion about stewing in her own… stew.
The stench coming from the back of my jeep was strong enough to make me question whether I might have, without noticing, pooped in my pants, too. I… [keep reading]
