GTCostica:
What constitutes a kitchen disaster? I racked my brain trying to define it. It has to be something funny but safe. A disaster should be one where no one gets seriously injured and you can laugh about it afterwards.
Back in 2008, The Guardian interviewed Slovenian rock star philosopher Slavoj Žižek. I know this is three years old, but I don’t care. Something this good never gets stale.
Žižek is basically the grumpiest grump that ever did grump it up. I love him.
What is your earliest memory?
My mother naked. Disgusting.
What is the worst job you’ve done?
Teaching. I hate students, they are (as all people) mostly stupid and boring.

In the great American pastime of keeping chickens, one must first procure housing for said fowl. Chickens are not particular in their tastes in lodging, but do need protection from predators and the elements. Prefabricated coops can be purchased, but substantial savings can be had by constructing a coop oneself. A sensible person might ask himself/herself what one needs to build said coop: lumber, nails, chicken wire, etc. However, in the true spirit of American ingenuity that embodies the best of hillbilly engineering, one instead asks “What do I have laying around the house and yard?” It might be an old piece of exercise equipment, a diaper-changing table, a broken appliance, even an old sewing machine can be put to good use as ballast. The possibilities are limited only by the engineer’s imagination. Continue reading
As I get older I can look back on my mostly misspent youth and point to certain incidents or episodes, these are the things that irrevocably changed my life whether for better or for worse. Picking the single most influential of these would be impossible, because when you start getting older the number of these events becomes too numerous to pick just one. Was it your first kiss? A book? A movie? Doing something for the first time? Let’s explore shall well. Please keep in mind I might be from a different generation that you and some of you might have a hard time imagining how something like some of these things could change your life, but we were young, dumb and didn’t have the internet.

Some of these guys have cropped up in the news lately, but they’re not a new faction to our society. No sir. I’ve been talking about Deli Rubes and Coffee Shop Hobos for years. Since about 2007 or so, and the affliction that they suffer from hasn’t gotten much better. I think I’ll call this affliction “Me-ism.” Yes, yes, I know there’s probably some other well-nuanced term I could use. Narcissism, or self-centeredness….yawr, whatever. No, I’m going with the very simple…Me-ism. Continue reading
Anyone here not aware of the Chicken Soup for the Soul series of books? It all started innocently enough in 1993 with Chicken Soup for the Soul: 101 Stories to Open the Heart and Rekindle the Spirit. The brief stories were meant to comfort the reader’s jangled nerves. If you had a bookstore, you’d shelve them in Motivation/Inspiration/Self-help. Or maybe in Gift Books. The original editors were Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen. Continue reading
