Thought of the Day

    In Western Europe, people are shocked by the serving sizes in America.


    They are equally shocked by the amount of ice we put in our drinks.


    However, they do not realize that the reason for this is quite simple.


    We Americans prefer our drinks cold. However, the more ice you place in your cup, the less fluid can sit inside. Therefore, we have larger serving sizes to compensate for the loss of space.

    This has been A Thought for your Day.

A Few Words On The Present Situation

  At these times, dear public, I wish to announce my solidarity with you all. We must stand together in these hardships, but standing together six feet apart as per the health and safety regulations. We must forge new unions, as long as those unions are forged via zoom calls, telephone lines, online chat, or any other form of communication that does not involve close, physical contact. It is time to support each other, by staying away. Care for each other's needs, by covering your face so you cannot breathe harmful viruses into the air. And carry each other's burdens, when using adequate anti-bacterial disinfectant after touching said burden. We must UNITE!!! SEPERATELY. In our own homes. Best regards, Tibberius Fibberus a.k.a.

McSweeney's Beard Oil, For All Yer Beardy Needs: Part Two

                 The last time I spoke to ye, I had told ye of McSweeney’s Beard Oil, for all yer beardy needs. I had told ye of the miraculous nature of this Beard Oil, and of its wonderous abilities—argh. I had begun the story, but me time fell short. Today, me hearties, I will finish me story, and the tale of how I discovered McSweeney’s Beard Oil, for all yer beardy needs.                The last time I had regaled ye with me tale of oars. I was in the clinker, for public intoxication. Being sorrowed for me lack of facial hair, I had seen the warden of the clinker by the name of McSweeney. His beard flowing like honey for a jar, I asked him how his hair could grow to such lengths. He had told me that it was all because of an oil, and to visit him, once me time was due.            ...
