NOTE: This is the final part of a 6 part series about a family vacation to Florida Friday, October 24, 2008 – We slept in (at least I did – my husband got up with the kids) and packed up and decided to depart early. We were toying with the idea of renting an air […]

This past weekend saw a feat never before accomplished by an Ohio State University football team. The Buckeyes successfully defeated the dreaded “Team from the North” for the fifth year in a row (42-7). How many rivalries can actually attest to the fact that a coach’s career seemingly hinges upon one game year after year.

On another tangents.org blog, justj has been talking about cheeseburgers, namely White Castles and Burger Buddies (aka Burger Bundles), an ’80’s Burger King product. I found an old Burger Bundles commercial on youtube and posted the link on his blog in the comments section of the cheeseburger post. While I was looking around on youtube,

We’re all adults here, right? Then you’d think the following sign spotted in the band room at a local high school would be less amusing: Rectal Gas Policy – Any student who releases audible rectal gas will receive one after school detention. – Any student who “reacts” to audible or inaudible rectal gas will also receive
Just trying new themes out. Don’t be surprised if things change a bit daily as a take a look at some themes. I know a couple I tried before had bugs so even ones that look good may change. Now that I post graphics, I am trying out two-column themes to make more room for
