You may recall my recent blog about the United States, and how we kind of suck at everything (even though we're evidently the greatest country in the world). To restore my faith in this statistically below-average land of mine, I went out looking

You're familiar with the whole 'goats that sound like people' thing (in fact, we had a blog about that yesterday). Now goats are acting like people. Kind of. Read all about the goat and the bar in butte in the Bi

First, the photo has nothing to do with the following story. I do, however, think it's great when married couples have things in common (things like a healthy appreciation for tan cleavage).

I have a love/hate relationship with baseball. On one hand, I enjoy the idea of going to MLB games, relaxing in the sun, having a few beers, and the like. Sadly, the reality is usually different when attending a game in the majors. Last su

If you wanna get technical, it's Gator Wrestling, but since this video comes from central Florida I believe the regional term is 'Rasslin.'

Anyhoo, you can check out the Orlando Sentinel's full story about th

The extended forecast for Missoula is finally looking springy next week. Not so for some parts of the country. For instance, check this photo out from KVLY in Fargo earlier this week:
