Let’s kick this post off with a limerick. Here we go: There lived a man from North Carolina- Who owed a shitload of money to China- When looking over the note- He started to bloat- And dropped dead the next day from angina- ***** Hey, Michael, so whatcha been thinking about? I’ve been thinking a…

If you think the poor bastard above choking his steering wheel is having a rough day, imagine a day in the life of the cave dude below: You might come away with a whole new perspective of the term Door Dash. It took the entirety of the Pliocene Epoch and a portion of the Pleistocene…

Many years ago, alone, I drove from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, to meet my wife, who had flown there days earlier. In Delaware, I merged from I95 onto 495 (Veteran’s Highway), a spur that subtracts several miles from the trip. It was a Saturday night at twilight. I had churned up many…
