I am honestly so baffled right now that it’s hard to come up with the words that accurately describe the way I’m feeling. Last night I arrived in town to Portland, Oregon on a vacation. I saw a 76 gas station right off the freeway and since we were below ¼ tank I figured it [...]

Forget H&R Block Password? Please Pay 20 Minutes
So we regularly do our taxes with H&R Block’s Online “At Home” program. Depending on our situation we’ve used everything from H&R Block At Home Basic, to Deluxe, to Premium.

Wanted: Dancing Paperclip
Apparently times are tough at good ol’ Tarjay. They can’t even afford spell check. Take a look at these screenshots, taken from the Target Pharmacy section of target.com at 1:30AM on 1/30/2011. Pfft, it’s not like a spelling mistake or typo when filling a perscription could have life-threatening consequences — right?
Conan on TBS
Things I don’t like about the new Conan on TBS. Andy Richter. Please get rid of him! I know he was on the very early Late Night show, but Late Night with Conan O’Brien was at its best when Conan was ridin’ primarily solo. Andy is what I like to call a train derailer. What does [...]
