If you’ve been following either CNBC or “The Daily Show” — or basically if you’ve turned on your TV at all this week — then you know that Jim Cramer is in a sort of televised brawl with Jon Stewart. It all began with this “Daily Show” clip. Cramer, in contrast to his sometimes tough [...]

In case you missed it, and because I haven’t mentioned it in my previous Shaq posts (and it really does deserve its very own post), Shaq’s Twitter bio is: Bio VERY QUOTATIOUS, I PERFORM RANDOM ACTS OF SHAQNESS
Shaq attack!

I wrote the other day about my appreciation of Shaquille O’Neal and his Twitter activity. Then Chris told me that when Shaq can’t sleep, he goes to Wal-Mart, and when he checks out, he pays for the next 20 people behind him in line or something crazy-generous like that. Then I read this, and any [...]
All a-twitter.

If you aren’t on Twitter, or, like me, if you rarely log in or post any udpates, consider this a favor: You have to follow Shaq. Yes, Shaquille O’Neal is actually on Twitter, and he updates frequently. Some recent gems: To all twitterers , if u c me n public come say hi, we r [...]

Abby’s had a particularly rough few days. I’m posting a video here taken from this post on her dad’s blog. It’s just about the sweetest thing I’ve ever seen. It’s hard not to worry, though, while you watch it that Abby won’t make it to her next father-daughter dance. There’s another video in that post [...]
The best diet ever.

A co-worker just alerted me to the website This Is Why You’re Fat. I don’t know why it never occurred to me to do that with a box of Oreos; I think the most I ever put together between two ends of a cookie were three lard centers. That stuff is so delicious! I have [...]
Pork on pork. On pork.

The Times wrote the other day about a blog-food phenomenon: the Bacon Explosion. Apparently, a bizarre recipe of pork sausage stuffed with and wrapped in bacon has been passed around the Internets, mostly because it’s just such a ludicrous thing to make or eat. It reminds me of Pig Roast 2008, when the morning after [...]

As probably everyone who reads this blog knows, it has been a longtime dream of mine to adopt one or more of my children. Several months ago, I began to follow a few (OK, more than a few) adoption blogs (they’re everywhere!), and I’ve learned a lot about both the pre- and post-adoption processes. One [...]

I would like to announce another worthy reading destination, certainly one of the best blogs the tubes have to offer. It is Gastro-Politico, and while it hasn’t been updated in a devastatingly long time, its author is on the edge of a move to London, which should bring some pretty amazing stories about the intersections [...]
