I updated the FAQs a bit while adding a couple new questions and expanding on some others. Enjoy.

As I referenced earlier, I’ll be writing a bit more now. I didn’t want to mention any details until I knew for sure, hence the cryptic nature of my last post. Sorry about that.

The news is that I’ll be writing a few times a week for Men of the Scarlet and Gray. It’s a site dealing primarily with Ohio State football that I’ve been reading for a few years now. A few weeks ago they asked for interest in writing for their site and I tossed my hat into the ring. They’ve decided, graciously, to let me throw some of my ill-considered crap onto their site, provided I watch my language.

I’ll still be writing here, of course, as much as I feel the need to. After all, I still have a lot of “Understanding Your Fellow Human Being” posts to write if nothing else.

I’m pretty excited about the opportunity, and if any of you are interested in the goings-on in Old Columbus Town, I’d urge you to visit the site. Even the posts I didn’t write. They’re pretty good.

I know I haven’t written in a while (sue me) but hopefully soon I’ll be writing more. I’ll fill in the details as they arrive.

Why is Special Agent Oso a panda bear? Shouldn’t he be Special Agent Whatever-The-Chinese-Word-For-Bear-Is?

For a Special Agent, Oso kind of sucks.

I also question his priorities. He has all this technology that he could use to help end world poverty and instead he teaches kids to ride a swing set and crap.

If Obama really wanted everyone in America to be happy, he’d just give everyone a puppy. Who doesn’t love puppies?

It’s awesome that the best player on one of the Reds’ bigger rivals is named Poo Holes.

That their rival has a name so open to derision is probably the only thing the Reds have that the Red Sox or Yankees are jealous of.

Maybe also that Reds fans don’t have to be conflicted about their World Series wins being tainted by having rosters full of people who took steroids. If Chris Sabo or Todd Benzinger took the ‘roids, I’ll eat a pine cone. Dibble on the other hand? I’d believe it.

Still waiting on those mortgage payments, Obama. Just saying. Also on the free Skittles.

I probably would have quit smoking a long time ago if it wasn’t for those annoying “truth” commercials. I’d say 35% of my habit is motivated not by addiction but by spite.

On a related note, is there a movie that makes you want to smoke more often than Die Hard? He’s lighting up every 5 minutes. It’s amazing he didn’t come out of Nakatomi with Holly in one arm and a giant tumor in the other.

I saw The Invention of Lying last week. I’m still trying to figure out why people in Hollywood think it’s a good idea for their bottom line to insult 90% of their potential audience by telling them their beliefs are stupid.

Some guy on MSNBC said a few days ago that “in fact the IRS’s responsibility is to put out tax credits, not to collect revenue.” Really? The Internal Revenue Service is not responsible for collecting Revenue? Wow.

That guy probably has all the job security in the world and he probably couldn’t figure out a Chinese food menu. Meanwhile good people in my office are constantly worried about their jobs and they could probably set MSNBC on fire with their minds if they wanted to. Life is definitely unfair.

But in fairness, the Postal Service’s responsibility is to deliver mail order catalogs and VA refinance offers to little metal boxes, not to serve posts.

And the responsibility of the Department of Motor Vehicles is to make you temporarily miserable for a few hours so as to help you appreciate the 99% of your life that you’re not at the DMV.

Kind of like my first marriage. Yeah it sucked at the time, but now I have something to point to when things are going badly and say “Well, it could be worse.”

The American women valiantly faced off against the dirty redcoats in the most recent reenactment of the Revolutionary War. And just like 230 years ago, the Americans, though underdogs, managed to topple the mighty Brits.

In your face, redcoats!

The US women’s curling team beat the dirty sloots from Russia 6-4 today. IN YOUR FACE, COMMIES!

Today’s results bring the US curlers’ combined record (men’s and women’s) to a gentlemen’s 1-6. But the men are playing the French today and I can’t imagine the French being good at anything other than smoking cigarettes, being conquered, and sneering at anyone who isn’t French.

USA! USA!

update: Burn on France! The only thing they do better than us is suck and die.

You’re bad at your job and you should feel bad.

Anyone who remembers this site a few years back remembers the “Which baconninja.com character are you?” quiz. Well, since I built that I’ve gotten married and had kids. You may have noticed from the complete drop off in posting over the last few years.

Anyway, I’ve made a new character, tentatively named Blackjack. I’m issuing a request to any readers for a new name though. I just want it to be cards (and preferably blackjack) related.

Here he is. You’ll note I used a real photo in the background, a style idea I got from my little sister. If you hate it, it’s her fault.

What? It’s only been like a year.
