Can bring together in such perfect comedic/poignant harmony the history of ABBA and the downfall of Europe. In 1945, Europe was in ruins, America had won the war, and, if the Continentals weren’t exactly promising to love the Yanks forevermore, they knew that their fate was to be with them, and they couldn’t escape even if they wanted to. The US security umbrella and the Eurovision Song Contest both date back to the immediate post-war period.

Dear diet/fashion industry: How stupid do you think we are?

Wait, don’t answer that. Desperate people (mostly women) pour billion$ into stupid –and sometimes dangerous– gimmicks every year

Friday Files: Unnamed Town’s Excellent Adventures, Part 28

Thumbnail

Our local paper doesn’t have a funnies section. It doesn’t need one, not when you have the Police Report. (Note to our American readers RCMP= Royal Canadian Mounted Police.) Yes, the Mounties, the guys who “always get their man” …but not always the car or the dog, as the case may be.)Also note: the names of the towns blocked out are not one town, but three, and none of them are the town where I live

"Viking Craft Club"

Three words I never, ever thought I’d see/hear in the same phrase. Who knew those horn-helmeted dudes took time out from burning and pillaging to craft bracelets? I guess Brunehilde had to wear something girly once she took off her breastplates and kicked back at the end of the day

Retro chic… and a handy way to wake up

…as long as you remember to wind it (no batteries!) and don’t mind the jangling alarm. It belongs to my sister and she received it for a high school graduation gift (our parents couldn’t afford to buy us cars on such occasions, as I understand is the North American norm). Super cool and funky.
