2008-04-11 17:36:00
Periodically, I like to update you on what else I've been doing beyond teaching you what's The Best. So here we go:This week, I explained why we need more yodel outros and fewer squirrels on "Thinking The Lions" (Life, only funnier.)Then I told you how the Olympics suck but I offered a fix -- and it involves Karate! on Nonsportsmanlike Conduct!Plus, I updated you on the Shaw Twins on Babies! Babies! Pets! Pets!-- you should know about these amazing little boys and you should also help them.You can do both -- learn and help-- by going to "Caring Bridge," where they have a site with photos and a journal. And you can help the Shaws with medical bills and other expenses by sending a contribution to: Mateo and McHale Shaw Irrevocable SNTC/O Kohler Credit Union850 Woodlake RoadKohler, WI 53044 All that, and I still had time to update Rachel's adventures in Hell and start a new story about a little boy that is tormented by a demon. How do I do it all? I'm awesome.

The Return of Smedley And Jenkins! And Office Deals!
2008-04-11 17:19:00
When we last saw Smedley, Jenkins, and The Boss, Smedley had been let go -- or so it seemed... We pick up in the ongoing saga of "Business, Inc.":...___________________________The Boss: Smedley! Get in here!(Jenkins enters.)The Boss: You're not Smedley! You're Jenkins!Jenkins: I'm both, remember?The Boss: What kind of name is Smedley Jenkins?Jenkins: Didn't you want something?The Boss: (remembering) Yes, quite right! I need you to get me some office supplies, immediately! Business, Inc. is on the verge of a major deal that will make me richer than anyone has ever dreamed of being.Jenkins: Just you?The Boss: (lying) And you, too, Smedley. Or Jenkins. Jenkins: (believing him) In that case, I've got just the thing. I'll use my promotional codes for Staples.com, Vista Print, BestBuy.com, Office Depot.com and Tiger Direct to get your supplies, pronto.The Boss: What are these magical "promotional codes" you speak of?Jenkins: OfficeDeals.info is a website that helps you save money on ...

The Best of Lame/Cool: The Best Event That's So Lame It's Cool.
2008-04-10 18:13:00
Lame/cool month continues. There were those who said I couldn't keep it up. Those people underestimated my ability to take on the impossible. The impossible like improving a joke. Which I did. Here's the original joke:Q: What's green and fuzzy and has four legs and if it fell out of a tree on you would kill you?A: A pool table.Funny, right? My nephew thought so. My six-year-old nephew and I overlap a great deal in our senses of humor. But I made the joke even better:Q: What's green and fuzzy and has four legs and if it fell out of a tree on you would kill you?A: A moldy cow.Now THAT is a good joke. So don't bet against me. I can do anything if I set my mind to it.If you are or have ever been part of a family, then you probably have gone to a family event. I'm not talking about holiday parties like Christmas Eve. Based on my own experiences, those are not in any way "family events." Christmas Eve and other holiday get-togethers are hours-long excursions into tedium and/or bragg...

Getting serious for a minute.

The ads are all over television now: those "it's easy to tell when you've had way too much to drink, but not easy to tell when you've had just a little too much to drink."They're right. Social drinking can be hard to monitor and can have extremely adverse consequences -- not just because you might accidentally make out with that girl from accounting, or dance on the bar, but because you might end up facing criminal charges.Almost every state now criminalizes driving under the influence -- or operating while intoxicated, or drunk driving, or whatever it is they call it in your state-- and they criminalize even the first offense, and they criminalize it at far lower amounts of alcohol than you might imagine.In my home state, the maximum blood alcohol level allowed to drive is 0.07 -- if you're 0.08 or above, you're drunk driving. That's a little over 1 beer per hour.That's where lawyers come in. If you make a mistake that has severe criminal consequences, you need experienced ...

The Best Of Lame/Cool: The Best Word That's So Lame It's Cool
2008-04-09 16:52:00
The Best of Lame /Cool Month continues here on The Best of Everything, as I set out for you those things that are so lame that they go all the way around and become cool.You know what's lame? Beginning anything with the dictionary definition. That is so lame. So if you have to write an article, make a speech, give a toast, tell your boss why you need a raise, propose to your girlfriend, convince your wife that you need to keep watching Battlestar Galactica, or locate the other twin who you can't find but you're pretty sure that he was in the kitchen just a minute ago, beginning it with "Webster's defines..." is lame.So, with that, let me jump in with both feet to tell you what The Best Word That's So Lame It's Cool is. And I will not be looking at any dictionary definitions to help explain it. The word is Gonzo.(I thought about going with "Huzzah," but decided against it because Gonzo is, simply put, too lame and too cool to not win this category. It is, simply put, the perfect...

There are only 77 days until my vacation, the long-awaited trip to family friendly Orlando, Florida! Yes, I and Sweetie and Middle and The Boy and Mr Bunches and Mr F are going to pile into our car, then pile into an airplane, then pile into a condo lent us by our in-laws and hope for the best.There are those people out there (Sweetie) who say I am crazy to take this trip. To them I say: Sweetie, you knew what you were getting into when you married me.But just because my vacation will actually devolve into the comicly nightmarish logistical problem of getting the Babies! through not one, not two, but three airports does not mean that it also has to be comicly or nightmarishly expensive. While I may be crazy when it comes to planning trips, I'm very sane when it comes to saving money, which I do through BestOnlineCoupons.com BestOnlineCoupons.com has a ton of options to help us make the vacation affordable even if it won't be relaxing.

Lame/cool month continues at The Best Of Everything, explaining how The Cool ness Continuum works by describing The Best Things that are so lame they're cool.Things like "Bring It On," The Best Teen Movie That's So Lame It's Cool.Technically, I did not ever have to admit that I watched "Bring It On" at all. You would have never known. Outside of my family, nobody would ever have known.Or, if word did get out that I watched "Bring It On," I could have simply said, Hey, I have two daughters and they made me watch it. And then dropped the subject.I certainly did not have to admit that I liked "Bring It On." I did not have to decide to put on The World's Most Popular Website...... that's this website, remember.that I liked "Bring It On." But I've got the street cred to pull this off, I think. I'm man enough to say that I watched "Bring It On" and that I liked it and that, in fact, it's a cool movie despite being so phenomenally lame that it risked being a black hole of lameness, ...

"One is nearer God's heart in a garden than anywhere else." I love that saying. And I love that sign, and I am sure that I would love the garden it appears in, as well.The garden that sign is located in is Benton County's First Rain Garden, in Benton County, AR. Benton County has it's first rain garden because of Fiskars, which every year awards the Project Orange Thumb Grant to more than 10 applicants, giving the applicants money to create a community garden.All gardening is healthy and nurturing and good for you and the environment. But a community garden is something more: it brings together neighborhoods, it promotes unity and sharing and togetherness -- all good things. It gets people away from the TVs and computers and offices, and out into the fresh air, kneeling on the moist earth, gardening side by side and sharing efforts, stories, and lives.Fiskars likes that, and I like it, too.

The next three kids are boys, so once Middle graduates, I'm done with dress
2008-04-03 21:51:00
Longtime readers know that of the five children that routinely make me engage in parenting, the two oldest are daughters -- I call them, cleverly, "Oldest" and "Middle ." Oldest is turning 21 now, and Middle just turned 17. Those ages mean that for the past seven years, spring has meant one thing and one thing only: Formal Dress es. Spring means prom. Prom means teenage girls getting all dolled up to go on dates with boys they won't like 3 months later. That means formal dresses to wear on said dates. Since Oldest turned 14, each spring has been met by the same ritual: Sweetie and the daughter begin talking about prom dresses, then go out shopping for one, then come home exhausted and tell me that we'll need a home equity line of credit to pay for the dress they bought.Fun! But this year, I can finally get the upper hand as Middle prepares for her own prom. Instead of letting her and Sweetie out of my sight with the family credit cards, I can steer them to Elegant Mart, whi...

The Best of Lame/Cool: The Best Candy Bar That's So Lame It's Cool.
2008-04-03 15:17:00
The Cool ness Continuum Craze ... um... Continues:What's The Coolness Continuum? It's all explained here through the use of giant rabbits and comic books.Today, it's The Best Candy Bar That's So Lame It's Cool, and the winner here demonstrates more rules of cool.I have to point out that not everything that's cool was once lame or becomes lame again. As The Coolness Continuum makes clear:things can be cool, then lame, then cool again. But they don't have to go through the whole continuum. Some things are just cool -- Invader Zim, for example, is just cool. But the focus of this month is things that start being cool and then become lame and then become cool again, like Swing Music, or things that start out being so lame that they shoot right around that circle and are cool, like The Atom and longitude.Or things that somehow flip The Coolness Continuum into a Mobius strip and are both lame and cool at the exact same time. Like the Charleston Chew. Here's how candy bars sort out....

2008-04-03 15:09:00
If you've spent any time around Babies !, you know they are back-killers. Babies! start at 6 pounds and go up from there, and they are not six pounds of cuteness that just sits there calmly. They wiggle and wriggle and pull at your ears and otherwise make it difficult for you to just hold them close and still do anything.But the fashionable and affordable baby slings from Slinglings.com alter that equation. As you can see from the picture, they have eye-catching baby slings that are comfortable and affordable; and as you can see from the picture, baby slings allow you to carry your Babies! hands-free, comfortably, and safely. Slinglings.com has a variety of styles, including some Dad's baby slings, as well. The rest of the nation is finally catching on: babywearing is one of the most natural and intuitive ways to care for babies.Seattle's Slinglings.com, a home-based three-year-old company run by Sara and Stephen Gower, is one of the most innovative baby sling businesses out the...

The Best of Lame/Cool: The Best Music Craze That's So Lame It's Cool
2008-04-02 21:50:00
Remember, TBOE lovers: April is The Cool ness Continuum Month here on The Best of Everything. I first mentioned The Coolness Continuum when talking about giant superstrong rabbits, but I've kept at it a bit after that. And this entry will celebrate:The Best Music Craze That's So Lame It's Cool.I mentioned in the last post that there are rules to cool, and one rule of cool is that cool stays around. No music craze has shown more of an ability to stay around than The Best one, and that music craze is Swing Music.Don't groan. You know you love it.Swing Music has such staying power that it's gone around the Coolness Continuum twice already and is on its way back for a third trip around. Swing music first popped up, according to my usual exhaustive research methods of trying to remember when I think things occurred, in the 1940s.Don't think I just relied on my memory, though. I also checked on Youtube by searching for "1940s swing music." As I suspected, I was right because that tur...

Do you really understand the Internet? I don't mean "understand" like "I could build it if I had to," but understand as in "how does it work and what does that mean for me?" Most people don't.WhatisMyIPAddress.com aims to fix that lack of understanding. They offer, first and foremost, a lookup ip address tool. If you're really behind on your Internet-understanding, then you need to know that an "IP" is an "internet protocol" address -- it's the numbers that other computers use to identify the computer you're using. And it's how your computer and other websites remember things like "cookies." Go on the internet and see that a link is darkened, indicating that you've clicked on it before? That's other computers identifying yours by the IP. I've simplified it there; WhatisMyIPAddress explains it better here.But what WhatIsMyIPAddress does better than explain things is give you tools to take advantage of the things they explain. They let you, like I said, lookup ip addresses to...

The Cool ness Continuum Month At The Best Of EverythingApril at The Best of Everything is devoted to explaining "The Coolness Continuum" , which I first elaborated on in the context of puns involving cosmic carrots and anthropomorphic superheroes. Today is part two of my ongoing campaign to teach the world how something can be so lame it's cool. Today it'sThe Best Superhero Whose Powers Are So Lame They're Cool.

Do you understand your mortgage? It used to be that people saved their money, then went to the bank and borrowed 80% of the cost of their house and paid it back over 30 years with one interest rate.That was then; this is now. Now, you can get 30, 40, or 50 year mortgages. You can get fixed interest rates, variable interest rates, prepayment penalties, caps on payments, fixed interest with alternative monthly payments for good payers, 'negative equity' mortgages, 0% down home purchases... there are a staggering number of mortgage products out there.There are a great number of different First Time Buyer Mortgages out there and most people don't understand them. As a consumer lawyer, I'm always amazed at how people will agree to buy a house for $200,000, or $400,000, or more, and then agree to pay, with interest, more than a million dollars over their lifetime, and not understand or read what they're signing.

But, I would also point out: everything here at TBOE also means food. I talk a lot about food, too, you know.Easter, when I was a kid, meant a trip to the Mitchell Park Domes. Those are, for those of you who didn't grow up around Milwaukee, a set of glass domes that served as a sort of arboretum. I'm not sure who ran it, or why. It was like a zoo for plants, as fun as that sounds. They had three domes, and each was a different ecosystem. There was the jungle dome, the desert dome, and then the 'seasonal' dome, which was done up differently for each holiday. Or I heard it was. We only went there at Easter, so I don't know. For Easter, the Seasonal Dome was "spring," because even back then you couldn't be all about God in public. And "...
