The Blues Brothers

Having decided that our boys don’t have enough things that induce parental annoyance, when I saw this kids harmonica being offered during last week’s Woot-Off, I just knew I had to snag one. Since I forgot about the thing immediately after ordering it, I was delighted to see that the mail lady delivered it yesterday […]

I present to you, Kael’s fingerstache. In case you missed that internet meme, here’s a little background info for you: Boston news report on […]

I’m not sure if you’ve heard of Improv Everywhere before, but the group consistently puts out some of the most clever and ingenious comedy I see. They just released their latest piece, Food Court Musical, which is one of the best I’ve seen yet: Some of their previous “missions” you might also enjoy: No Shirts […]
