Post-Hallowe’en shopping day
I made a quick run to St Cloud today, to visit Spirit Halloween after Hallowe’en, when they are busy dumping everything left over at half price. Get out there quick! Like any mysterious fanta…| Pharyngula

It’s Hallowe’en. It’s a dark and rainy night. I’m home all along. The trick-or-treaters have been sparse — I’ve only had twenty kids all night, so I’m hand…| Pharyngula
A beer ad caught my attention this morning, and I watched the whole thing. That’s good advertising! Except for the fact that it didn’t motivate me to buy any beer at all. It’s tit…| Pharyngula
We just got our halloween spider put up, when we drove down the street and saw this awesome display. They have a whole graveyard with ghosts and skeletons and witchy things! Somebody clearly has Ha…| Pharyngula
We just tossed up one giant spider, a couple of smaller spiders, and the dessicated, skeletal corpse of a scientist next to our driveway. Preparations complete. We also have a bag of 200 pieces of …| Pharyngula
I am resting at home, weak and weary, my knees knackered, because I have been on a quest that sent me staggering all over town. A quest that has ended in failure. Where it began was the weather, fr…| Pharyngula
Have you ever sat down to watch a movie and realized, within 5 minutes, that it was going to suck, but you’d walked to the theater and your knees were aching and you just need to sit and rest…| Pharyngula
I think this comic strip gets it right: we live in the Age of the Dumbass. After the golden age, the silver age, the bronze age, and the age of iron, we find ourselves in this age of dumbassery. By…| Pharyngula
I’m back! We went to Madison, Wisconsin for our granddaughter’s 7th birthday, and also for brats (vegetarian style) and cheese curds and the fall colors and Kwik-Trip and all that Wisco…| Pharyngula
We have a podcast scheduled for Saturday at 4pm Central. We’re bloggers, so maybe you’re not familiar with what we look like, so here’s a portrait. You’ll never guess which …| Pharyngula
I ignored my doctor’s advice yesterday — I’m so fed up with being trapped in my house that I decided I was going to put my knees to work and go for a careful, slow, easy walk. I d…| Pharyngula
My lower limbs have been making this sabbatical half-year hellish. First, there was an unexpected meniscus tear in my right knee; that pain is still there, a sharp needle in that one joint. Then my…| Pharyngula
None of the above! These are actual posters from the US Department of Labor. To be honest, the Soviet propaganda had a lot more style and sincerity. The modern American stuff just looks like AI slo…| Pharyngula
Just so know, my wife gave me a present: a wheelchair. It turns out that I was capable of hobbling about with one non-functional knee, but us bipeds are SOL with two blown out knees. I’ve see…| Pharyngula
Perfect! Arachno-communist, that’s me!| Pharyngula
It’s all her fault. Iliana is bringing on Winter Storm Iliana. I hope she doesn’t have to pay for all the damages. She must like her grandparents though, because it looks like it’…| Pharyngula
It got the name in the 16th century, it’s internationally accepted, but one clown thinks he has the authority to change it. Unfortunately, Google is happy to cave on this issue. Google said M…| Pharyngula
Someone call the police, this was a brutal execution. Actually, never mind. I never cared much for Cenk Uygur or Ana Kasparian, never subscribed to the Young Turks, gave them at best a little side-…| Pharyngula
