Amazing Christmas Decoration

"Good news is that I truly out did myself this year with my Christmas  decorations. The bad news is that I had to take him down after 2 days. I had more people come screaming up to my house than ever.Great stories. But two things made me take it down.

First, the cops advised me that it would cause traffic accidents as they almost wrecked when they drove by.
Second, a 55 year old lady grabbed the 75 pound ladder almost killed herself putting it against my house and didn't realize it was fake until she climbed to the top (she was not happy). By the way, she was one of many people who attempted to do that. My yard couldn't take it either. I have more than a few tire tracks where people literally drove up my yard."

Looking for new signs for your library

Someone recently said to me that they wished that in their library they could just put up a sign that said "Go ahead and use your cell phone, just don't be an asshat." Well, these signs from ..@the library.. aren't exactly that but they're close.

That's not a pocket.

Watching Tron is dangerous

It seems that the Department of Homeland Security has classified the film TRON as "Sensitive". I think I'll watch my 20th Anniversary DVD this weekend. I wonder what a 13- and 17-year-old raised on CGI will think of it.
