I’ve mentioned my love for the animated series Family Guy before. On one episode, Peter Griffin gets his own segment on the local news called “What Really Grinds My Gears.” Take a look. The incest/period portion of that clip isn’t relevant to my post today. I don’t even have a brother, for God’s sake! You…

Everyone Complains About the Weather
It started out cloudy and cool today, but now I see the sun peeking out. Confusing. So, before I go out this evening, I will check The Fucking Weather for the latest forecast. My gorgeous blogging friend Tina pointed out this bit of highlariousness to me. When I checked a few minutes ago, the site…

Wrinkly Slut, Part Deux
I recently mentioned that someone left a comment on my blog that referred to me as a “wrinkly slut.” (The comment included the demand: “Explain yourself.” Um, what? According to you, I’m wrinkly and a slut. What don’t you understand?) As I said in that earlier post, I thought “Wrinkly Slut” would be a great…
Pun Intended
Blogging Woolf, a blog about “Virginia Woolf and her circle, past and present,” posted about my still-in-progress Virginia Woolf Whistle pendant, which I wrote about here. As you may recall, the pun-tastic pendant is a whistle that pops open to reveal a tiny “Woolf” inside. A look at the Virginia Woolf Whistle prototype In the…
