My Horrible Head April 8th, 2009 @ 7:45 am PDT
I can’t breathe right now and it sucks. I’ve told you already about my abnormally large sinuses and complained about not being able to breathe, but so far 2009 has just been unbearable. And these days it’s worse than it normally is because of my continued and doctor-recommended daily consumption of loratadine (the active ingredient […]
Deadly Side Effects October 30th, 2008 @ 10:09 pm PDT
I just saw a commercial for a new migraine medicine called Treximet. It is apparently the hottest new thing for bad headaches. The first side effect mentioned by the voice-over sounds just a little bit extreme, though. “Side effects may include sudden fatal heart attack …” Call me crazy, but I can’t imagine getting headaches […]

Mary Jane’s Last Dance May 20th, 2008 @ 12:06 am PDT
I have been a major Tom Petty fan for years and years. I have — I think — every CD he’s recorded. I know all the words to every song. I’ve seen him live almost a dozen times. I am absolutely astonished that it took me fifteen years to catch that “Mary Jane’s Last Dance” […]
Gator Attacks Naked Man On Crack December 1st, 2006 @ 9:34 am PST
Now that is an awesome headline! As my friend Kelly, who sent me the link, said, “Only in Florida …” This is one hell of a story to read. You can file this one as “Reason #419 Not to Get High on Crack and Fall Asleep Next to a Lake in Central Florida”. I love […]

Visine Warning? December 17th, 2002 @ 10:41 am PST
A bleary-eyed notice from TeamBilly HQ: No more Visine. Doc’s exact words: “Unless you’re an actor and need a quick fix, don’t use the stuff. Use artificial tears or something better. But not Visine.” Apparently the quick fix you get from tetrahydrozaline works, but when it wears off you go right back to swollen eye […]
Questions: The Anti-Drug May 8th, 2002 @ 6:05 pm PDT
There is an anti-drug billboard near my house with a picture of a bunch of kids playing basketball. Superimposed on the photo is the line, “After school my child likes to _______ .” Below that is some blather about questions being the anti-drug. “Know what your children like to do,” or something like that. Some […]
What a strange way to put it … April 4th, 2002 @ 11:22 pm PST
