Clowns and Baby Make Sketchy

Today I’m blogging about sketchalous ways to make some quick pesos or quick coins outside your regular day job.  Now, a preface might be that these options might only work in certain areas of the world, but it’s especially doable in the Mexican city where I’m currently living. 

The reason I’m writing this post is because [...]

Richard Hatch Went to Prison Because He Was Gay?

There’s a new video up online today with TV’s most famous fat naked gay man.  The one, the only, Richard Hatch.  Kind of an idol for me.  Well, my must-see favorite TV program is Survivor.  So, naturally, I’m a fan of Hatch. Most people, however, see him as one sketchy bastard.
But today Hatch is clothed [...]

I Braved Swine Flu and, Instead of Dying, I lost 22lbs

This past weekend I went dancing at the discos.  I did a little dance on Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday night.  I contemplated going Sunday night but was a little too tired even for myself.  And yes, apparently my weekend starts on Wednesday.  Friday I passed out cold while attempting to take a 30 minute siesta [...]

Groped by a Mustached Taxi Driver

I walk my white french poodle every day around lunch time.  Lunch time in Mexico is around 3pm.  Yesterday the two of us were strolling down the Malecon (a cemented boardwalk here, pronounced Mal-ah-cone) when we passed a corner of three or four taxi drivers waiting for their next jolly tourist.  I had no idea [...]

Finding red Mexican Mr. Roo

Hi, can we talk about Pirates?

Did you know that this year alone, pirates have seized over 100 ships in only one area— the Gulf of Aden. I had to look that gulf up on Wikipedia, so don´t feel silly if you have to click through here also.
Yep, that´s right, click on the link and you´re looking at Somalia. [...]

The Small Toilet

This is my first post.  YAY!
I stumbled on this picture from google images that had been submitted in a contest of extremely teeny electron micrographs a couple years back. The contest had been part of a 2005 conference on “Electron, Ion, Proton and Beam Technology of Nanofabrication.”
What you’re looking at is an SEM, a [...]

That Annoying Teller

I’ve been banking with Bank of America for almost seven years now and they’re on the verge of loosing me because of that one annoying teller… You know the one, she missed the day when they taught that the customer was always right. Bank of America already makes it difficult for someone with personal and [...]
