Let’s suppose you were at an indoor pool  in Canada and that you are an Asian male and wearing swimming trunks. (The only reason place and nationality are important as there may be some cultural things going on I’m unfamiliar with, what with me being an American person of English and/or German and/or Swiss descent [...]

A rerun per my July 5th, 2009 note to you all. Edited a hair. Originally posted September 2, 2005. Jack was about 4 or 5 years old. I don’t recall where we were. It could have been the kitchen, it could have been outdoors. In any case Jack need to show his mother and me [...]

“Hello, love of my life,” I said as I picked up my phone at work. I knew it was my wife as the Caller ID showed CHG 1 and the only time it shows that is when I get a call from Diane. I’m pretty sure CHG 1 means, Canadian Hot Girl #1. “Um,” came [...]

I just ran across an article about ShadyURL. It’s Link-shortening (wait, “modifying,” as they’re rarely shorter) service that gives the new URL a suspicious-sounding name.   One of the modified URLs for Delmer.com was: http://5z8.info/freeporn_i1m0_stalin-will-rise-again   Others: Blogography: http://5z8.info/alqaeda-message-boards_m9h5_racist LeSombre: http://5z8.info/turkeyporn_s6q8a_taliban-meetup Google: http://5z8.info/dogs-being-eaten_c4u9_getPersonalData-start Banal Leakage: http://5z8.info/killallimmigrants_v7e8_hack-outlook Michael Gorey: http://5z8.info/how-to-build-a-bomb_t6g9_dogfights Kapgar: http://5z8.info/facebook-hack_f8s7_barely-legal And, finally, a shorter [...]
