The Good: Finding and breaking into the Most Crucial Place on Earth and finding an abandoned storage depot of household appliances, road work accesories, and corporate financial records ( Read more... )

Two nights ago, Marshall and I were discussing urban warfare as the pinnacle of human hardcoreness. This dovetailed into my plan to one day hold a massive drawn out street battle across Savannah, cumulating in an Alamo-style standoff inside the Cathedral. Naturally, the issue of manpower came up. I figured only a few thousand people would be ( Read more... )

I went downtown with Tyler last night. Downtown is one of those places that's cool in theory, but once you get there there's actually nothing to do except walk around and let people assume you're a gay couple out for a stroll. We ended up in this video store on Liberty Street that sold VHS tapes 2 for five bucks. On top of the stack was "Killer Sex ( Read more... )

So my boss got a new truck a couple of weeks ago. He doesn't trust me enough not to wreck his new truck, but I've been too loyal to fire. My new job description now basically entails following a real electrician around, and handing him things. This takes up about ten minutes of each hour. The rest is spent standing around.

So, for those people, I have created a very simple, easy to understand, illustrated guide for Roman candle use. Hopefully, this guide will help to keep others from making the ( Read more... )

Raccoon war: on hold. Their days are numbered ( Read more... )

People who have been to my house have no doubt seen the 2.5 story playhouse my dad built several years ago in our back yard. Contractors for parents can be useful at times. Anyway, since then, raccoons seem to havem moved into the attic of it and built a nest up in the rafters, where we can't reach it. We see them going in and out constantly, and ( Read more... )

So, ending up having nothing to do this afternoon, I decided to go about removing the numerous blackberry thorns that have been buried in my hands since Thursday-Fridayish when I went to Hutchinson Island with Grimmett. Word to the wise: if you have thorns in your hands, do NOT wait for the skin to grow over them, otherwise you end up like me, ( Read more... )
