If I didn’t know I’ll be spending the next 95 hours straight locked in a beige office building trying to figure out how to get Matt Lauer to talk about green anchors (don’t ask), I would totally go to Duke Fest.
Oh, well. This is way more fun.
The other day I had a few hours where I didn’t have someone demanding I conjure up an innovative and dirt cheap way to get people to buy things they shouldn’t, so I played hooky and flew down to Orlando. One of the perks of not having any kind of a life is you can pretty much do whatever you want whenever you want. Which is nice. The reason for the quick trip was I wanted to experience something that resembled fun. Enter: The Simpsons RIDE .â„¢ Universal has a shuttle that goes to and from the airport, so my little day trip was pretty simple. And was very much worth it. If you’ve been to Universal Studios, you’ve got a good idea what sort of “ride” it is. I don’t want to give too much away, but it does involve the sights, the sounds, and yes, the smells, of Springfield and its colorful-if-two-dimensional residents.

The last of an era leaves us.
Thanks for the Saturdays, Jim.
Lest you think I have written off all children… behold… I am raising money for Junior Achievement. If you are of a mind to, feel free to pitch in. They do good work. That’s all I’m gonna say about that.
It starts off weird, when the mom calls her kid “dude.”
Then it goes a little off the rails when he bitch slaps his mother.
I have friends with kids. I feel for you.
They seem to know how to handle their alcohol. Even the ones with kids. They still can’t seem to keep from getting pulled over, though.
Police Chief declares we have no regard for each other. But just because some old guy gets run over and nobody gives a crap – is that news? Did I mention there’s video of the hit and run? Did you click it now?
