Once upon a time..

I’m sure it was in another state, but there was a small town with a large mayor who haaaaaaaaaaaated dogs. This small town had a leash law, but it was a law mostly observed as unnecessary. Needless to say, dogs roamed the street in this small town. Dogs shat pretty much everywhere they [...]

Dear WKRN

Thank you for Nashville Is Talking. Thank you for allowing Brittney to run the most interesting ‘op-ed’ show in town. Thanks for letting us have a voice.
And to Brittney - Thanks for understanding that we have brains and don’t have to be spoon-fed. No one in your position will ever satisfy everybody. [...]

Jaime Sairrio should be on Dancing with the Stars, or My God, a teacher actually tried to TEACH!

Up on top of the fold in today’s Tennessean Living section, lies the tale of a teacher who actually was attempting to TEACH but got suspended for his efforts. Stephen Henry is a middle school teacher at Creswell Arts Magnet school.
Henry overhears a young student (6th grader) describe something as ‘gay’. The [...]

Tales of Arcadia..eating lunch at the downtown arcade

Seen today while eating ‘outside’ in the Arcade…
Someone wearing a very tight t-shirt with these words emblazoned in large font:

They’ve been going in and out of style, but they’re guaranteed to raise a smile…(Beatles 4-ever)

Yesterday, on my weekly Saturday afternoon jaunt to Grimey’s, I was greeted by the familiar sounds from the ALBUM pictured below (you really do need the album on this one because of the a-freaking-mazing cover). Of course, considering it was Grimey’s, they were playing a Japanese import version. but all in all, the effect [...]

Serenity now..or do you give credit when you steal from other blogs..

I borrowed this quiz directly from Thomas Mc who was on his Ihajj at the time. My favorite sci-fi movie of all times (after Star Wars 1 and II) is ‘Serenity‘. This quiz will tell you which Serenity character you are most like…sadly, I’m not the Captain.
Your results:
You are Zoe Washburne (Second-in-command)

That Peggy Noonan article that everyone’s quoting…

Here’s the money part, as far as I’m concerned (and apparently Kat Coble as well):
The beginning of my own sense of separation from the Bush administration came in January 2005, when the president declared that it is now the policy of the United States to eradicate tyranny in the world, and that the survival [...]

Next contestant - Mr. Steve Gill, or, nodding off during the Spelling Bee..

I was attempting to watch the National Spelling Bell last night, but I made the mistake of approaching the viewing in a recumbent position. The sleep elves go into action when I assume this position, therefore what I actually see on TV and what I think I see are occasionally at odds.
Our next contestant [...]
