FEDEX BUYS KINKO’S

One can only wish they’d change the name to Finko’s. But then again, those corporate types never listen to me. When Phillips 66 bought Union 76, they refused my suggestion to change the name to 142.

YESTERDAY’S TOMORROW

DARN IT, it’s a half decade into the twenty-first century and I still don’t have my Futuro house yet.

IN/OUT FOR ‘04

HEY EVERYBODY! It’s the madcap return of the MISCmedia In/Out List, the longest-running and most accurate list of its type anywhere in the western hemisphere.

As long-term readers know, this is a prediciton of what will become hot and not-so-hot in the months to come. If you think everything hot now will just keep getting hotter forever, I’ve got some Cubs World Series T-shirts to sell you.

SILLY PUNDITS

IMAGINE: Some pundits are actually calling Bush-bashing an irrational act of hatred. Silly pundits…

DANGER!

IT’S TRUE: Books can be dangerous.

THERE’S SNOW…

LOLLY DEATH

THE INVENTOR of the Chupa Chup lollipop, source of half the caloric intake of some fashion models, has passed on.

PHOTO PHOLLIES

I LOVE THE COLD CLEAR CRISP WEATHER, but it’s tuff on the homeless–including the old man who’d set up camp recently west of Safeco Field, with this teddy bear watching over him.

TIES THAT BIND

clark Humphrey 03 — Mon, 29 Dec 2003 04:43:00 +0000

I STILL HAVEN’T FOUND a web page that sufficiently explains the NFL’s “strength of victory” tiebreaker rule, the rule that got the Seahawks into the playoffs this past weekend for the first time in four years. If anyone can tell me what “strength of victory” means (in a non-military context), lemme know.
