@smarts - Yes, there IS a different country south of Detroit. The juxtoposition of the city is such that Windsor, Ontario is directly south of Detroit. If I'm not mistaken, that would be Canada...a different country.

I work for a global company that is headquartered in downtown Detroit. The downtown area is geographically the southern part of the city. So the only way someone could be born and raised in south Detroit would be if they lived in a hotel like the Renaissance Center. Otherwise, there aren't any residential areas in the downtown section.

I worked on Capital Hill during the hearings. It was surreal seeing John Denver in his fuzzy sweater next to Dee Snider in his ripped jeans, next to Frank Zappa in his suit and tie. It's a crime, the infinite number of idiotic hearings Congress is engaged in. Congressmen and women who prattle on enraptured with the sound of their own voice.

Name one Mt Dew-aholic that doesn't already know the Dew is like battery acid. Add this to the "Don't Care" files with the "Taco Bell isn't meat" story. However, one Illinois man may be in for a spell o' trouble if his false claim causes a shortage of that sweet, sweet green anti-freeze colored concoction!

A big "Yep!" on Evil Knievel toys. At least in 1976 for me. The Evil Knievel motorcycle was what every boy in my neighborhood wanted:

Scary?!?! It literally made me laugh out loud, not that figurative LOL stuff. Those covers are great!

Is it just me or does their new logo remind anyone else of Super Mario Bros?

Interesting. Takes me back to an art class I had in college. The professor espoused the golden triangle for facial features. The measurement from the outside of the left eye to the outside of the right eye and from the outside of each eye to the bottom lip formed an equilateral triangle.

I just killed a Wild Turkey last night. It was of the bourbon variety however.

Not the first question asked when meeting a new person in the Washington, DC area. The quintessential DC-area first question is, "Where are you from?"

Miss Cellania,

Don't you find it a little hypocritical of yourself when you post jokes about dumb blondes and "Bubba" on your site? If you are offended by this, why aren't you as equally offended by those?

I was forced to buy a Mac Lisa back in 1985 for college. That was NOT cool. Made a nice doorstop.

Never seen any of those movies and it showed. Epic 3 out of 14.

Who needs to be a vampire? Just stand all the time and you lower your risk of death by 48%! Too bad Ponce de Leon wasn't aware of this.

This was neither "neat" nor "orama". On the America's Report Card scale, I rate it: Alabama.
