Baby Jumping: Officially the worst idea for a sport EVER. My fave is the dad holding up his little girl to watch like he’s all “If you don’t pick up your toys, you’re next!” Highlights of our Memorial Day vacation: Rain. Rock climbing in the rain. Hail.

And this is why you don’t see women doing yoga in skirts… Learn from me ladies. Hey we’re taking the kids camping for the long weekend (toddlers, in a cabin, in the rain – vacation, what?) so I’ll be MIA from the computer until Tuesday! Happy Memorial Day to my American friends and happy Fun …

If stick figures had hair, this would so be me. And yes, there is video of my awkward dancing but thankfully it has not seen the light of Facebook. Yet. My neck hurts so bad I can’t even touch my chin to my chest. No I don’t have meningitis. I have something worse, something …

This, my friends, is the Rear Naked Choke in action. (I think, feel free to correct me if it isn’t.) Clearly Golem in front is not amused but the guy in back is totally laughing. See? Funny. The Rear Naked Choke Hold came back to haunt me tonight. There I was, sitting in on a …

Photo Credit: Fail Blog You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to know that diet pills don’t work. If they did, we’d all look like Carmen Electra and spend our nights partying away with the Zantrex dancers. (Not to be confused with the Valtrex dancers – that kind of party is a straight shot to …
