The internet is an equalizing place until you want to talk about your computer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I have always wondered if the family dog of my youth was really a black lab.\u00a0 Apparently, there’s a type of lab I hadn’t thought<\/a> of which, in retrospect, describes him quite well.<\/p>\n

This is not an accurate chart of the magnitude names<\/a>, but it is funny in the end.<\/p>\n

Have you ever received a story in your email that was so heartwarming it made you want to gag?\u00a0 Well, here’s another bullshit<\/span> heartwarming story<\/a> like that, only better.<\/p>\n

I don’t know if I would go so far as to say I am a Trekkie or Trekker, but I do like the various incarnations of Star Trek<\/em>.\u00a0 That makes this collection of images<\/a> very cool.<\/p>\n

My humor is twisted, sometimes as bad or worse than these railroad tracks<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I wonder what kind of peripherals this motherboard<\/a> would support…a USB (Unlimited Sugar Butt) port, maybe?<\/p>\n

In the last few years, “cosplay” (costume play)<\/a> has become very popular.\u00a0 Originally a manga \/ anime thing, it has stretched into other fiction varieties.\u00a0 And now somebody has given new meaning to the word “cosplay”<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I have always enjoyed the comic strip Boondocks<\/em>, although I confess I haven’t read it lately.\u00a0 Still, it’s known for making an interesting point<\/a> from time to time.<\/p>\n

Speaking of video games, I have finally learned why Pac-Man works so hard to get away from the ghosts<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At last, we have the real reason the sword was so hard to pull from the stone<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I wonder if the laser pointer in this strip about cats named Bob (“bobcats”)<\/a> is suing for harassment.<\/p>\n

It’s rare when you see a cat catch their prey<\/a> so amusingly.<\/p>\n

Literal meanings of Firefox have been done over and over, so I enjoyed finding a couple other software names literally interpreted<\/a> as well.<\/p>\n

Finally, we turn to Cliff and Norm for an important explanation<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
