I’m pleased to announce the newest feature of Sprkus.com: Meet the Commenter. This week’s spotlighted commenter is Matt H. This is him with a rubber glove on his head from 1998.

Reason #324 Palin has no business as VP

How many examples of idiocy do Palin supporters need? Let’s go through this again, Sarah. You’re a Republican. You need to wear elephants and red, not donkeys and blue. Donkeys are for Democrats. Remember? The “D” in donkey stands for “Democrat.”

What I’m playing: Guilty pleasure

Hello, my name is Rick and I play World of Warcraft. There I said it. That’s one of my characters above. His name is Romney and he’s a level 70 paladin on the server of Azjol-Nerub. That’s Ironforge in the background, home of the dwarves.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I’m a geek. I like gaming, what do [...]

Next mole removal earns me a set of steak knives

Dr. Luca removed another mole today making the total somewhere between 10 and 15. This one was on my lower back. Better to be safe than sorry. It’s all precautionary because of my pale skin, although one mole they removed a few years ago was a basal cell carcinoma, which sounds far worse than it [...]

Doctors shouldn’t be playing s…

Doctors shouldn’t be playing smooth jazz when they’re inspecting your nude body along with a nurse and a resident.

Owners of Sparkus.com want more money

I submitted a $50 offer for sparkus.com, a domain the owner isn’t even using, and was rejected. The owners of the domain to my college nickname were using it in the past as some art site. Here’s the denial:
Rick,
We received your inquiry regarding the domain sparkus.com. Unfortunately your offer was not sufficient to meet the [...]

Best. Dog. Halloween. Costume. Ever.

I’m totally getting this Headless Horseman costume fort Fitz next year. He’s probably still too small to wear it for the upcoming Halloween.

I can’t believe I’m the only geek I know that uses Twitter. Of course, if I AM the only person I know using it, why am I using it? Hrmmm.

There’s a bug in my mug

Ah, what the Hell?!?

Preaching to the chior

Back in March I touched a little on the silliness of religious songs. I pointed out that the repetitiveness and basic message of most songs seemed like they were trying to convince church attendees that yes, God actually exists. You’d think that could be assumed because the attendees showed up in the first place, allowing [...]

First car scraping of the fall

I had to scrape the frost off the car this morning, making it the first time since last winter I had to do so. I gess it IS about that time.
I’ll go ahead and add two-car garage to our list of must haves for the house we plan to buy in the spring.
That’s not my [...]

I’m getting ready to watch my cousin Ali’s dance recital in Dublin. It’s a rager!

I had General Tso’s chicken from Mark Pi’s this afternoon and it was awful. The must have thought I ordered General Tsuck’s chicken.

Racist, ignorant McCain supporters

I know, I know, enough with the political crap! But I had to post this video because these people are from Ohio. Unfortunately, I don’t know where in Ohio.  And I’m not trying to say all McCain supporters are this way, but THESE rednecks are:

The Internet totally blackballed my work e-mail

When I tried to send out a broadcast e-mail this morning from work, I received an error telling me my IP had been blacklisted by the CBL. It then referred my to a Web site to check the status of my IP. WTF?!? I didn’t even know such a site or service existed.
But apparently it [...]

I’m getting the itch to change my domain name again. I seem to only be satisfied with domains for about a year. I think I have domAinDD.

Meet ‘Joe the Plumber’

If you watched the third installment of the presidential debates last night, you heard the candidates refer to “Joe the Plumber” over 20 times.
This is him. No, really. He’s a 34 years old and from Toledo.
The photo is from The Blade, where you can also find a video of an interview with Joe, who’s real [...]
