Florida man… Uh oh! You know something good is coming, right? Here it is — Florida man refuses to pay for gold-plated steak he didn’t order, Salt Bae calls cops

Remember a few weeks ago, I told you about earbuds that are covered in 18-karat gold? Well, I’ve found just the thing to plug them into.  And it would also make a great Christmas gift. Or something. It’s the gold-and-diamond encrusted “Jesus phone.” No. I’m not making this up. Honestly, I kind of wish that […]

Moving is awful. I’m speaking from recent experience. We are in the process of moving from central Kentucky to northern Florida. I say “in the process” because you don’t just move. It consumes your life for months on end.

So, did you go Black Friday shopping this morning? I didn’t. In fact, I have never gotten up to join the Black Friday hordes. There isn’t a Walmart deal that can entice me to go shopping at 5 a.m. I like to sleep more than I like saving a few bucks. Not only that, I […]

Remember a couple of months ago when I told you about the stolen toilet? Well, they still haven’t found it. For those of you who missed that one, you’re probably wondering why on earth anybody would steal a toilet. Well, it was made out of gold. Eighteen-karat gold to be precise. The golden potty was […]

They all start with some interesting string of facts and end with “…and Epstein didn’t kill himself.” In case you’ve been under a rock, or just have better things to do than follow the news, Jeffrey Epstein was a well-connected financier and convicted pedophile. When I […]

Since moving to Florida, I’ve been able to spend a little bit of time on the beach. It’s interesting watching what people pick up. You can kind of categorize people based on their haul of beach-combing treasures. First-timers to the beach will basically pick up anything. Broken cockle-shells are worthy of the newbies’ treasure bag, […]

Fun on Friday is supposed to be, well, fun. But I also like to offer useful advice. So this week, I have a tip for you. If your boyfriend or girlfriend wants you to send them a bunch of money in order to help them sell gold, don’t do it. It’s a scam. Seriously. Just […]

I saw a tweet this week by Paul Krugman asserting, “What we do have is a persistent problem of weak demand; yes, we have full employment now, but only with extremely low interest rates, which means little ability to respond to the next downturn. This makes a strong case for a big government investment program.” […]
