Jerk of the Week: Graduation Fart Smeller Have you ever had the realization that a year has gone by so quickly based on an annual event? This can work for birthdays and holidays just fine. For me, it was my son’s graduation. My 3-year-old son Conrad goes to the same Montessori school I went to…

Jerk of the Week: The Second Mortgage Play Place and the Instant Death French Fry Believe it or not, this is not another Jerks of the Week entry where I rant about how McDonald’s turned their backs on families by eliminating their play places. Although, I guess by mentioning that, this entry does actually qualify…

Jerk of the Week: The Dual Hospital Trip So, maybe there is a downside to these fast-food play places after all. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, I’ve spent the better part of this past year ranting about how McDonald’s turned its back on American families by removing the play places in…

Jerk of the Week: King of the Playground Did you ever have a nemesis when you were a child? I sure did. His name was Jason, and I hated his guts. Scratch that. I still hate his guts. If I saw him today, I’d tell him to go f**k himself, even though I can’t even…

Jerk of the Week: Prayer and Despair at Burger King I’ve spent lots of time and energy lately complaining about McDonald’s. And I’m not referring to their price gouging, which is an issue on its own.

Jerk of the Week: A Trail of Poop and Blood Charlie Campbell said something very astute on one of our YouTube shows during NFL Draft week. I don’t have the exact quote, but it went something like, “We’re not going to be sleeping very much during draft week.” He wasn’t lying. With two kids and…

Jerk of the Week: The Grifter’s Dozen I was not a normal kid. I always knew this, but it was reinforced when I spoke to my aunt during my daughter’s 1-year-old birthday party. “Your son is so much different than you,” she said of my 3-year-old, Conrad. “He runs around like crazy, while you were…

Jerk of the Week: Monkey Pictures, the Croc Sale, and a Flat Tire I’m sure all of you have seen the viral video of the woman complaining about her husband. In case you’ve been living under a rock or Rosie O’Donnell’s shadow, an attractive woman in her 30s talks about how she nearly divorced her…

Jerk of the Week: Sweatshirts, Mac-and-Cheese, and the Lady in the Yellow Dress There are many things I took for granted prior to having children. For example, I’ve written about going to restaurants in a recent entry. Restaurants have become such an unknown phenomenon to me that I confused a regular patron with a hostess,…
