Conversations With Boys I'm a mommy to the two coolest little boys in the world. Jackson is my smartypants sweetheart, he's almost nine.  Noah is an adorable and talkative age four.  I feel really lucky to have sons because the entertainment is almost nonstop.  We laugh a lot, and I've come to know that laughter... Rock Star Last week my travels took me to the wilds of Oklahoma, where I performed at an Indian Casino.

Stop Bothering Me Our sales manager came back from a party with a bunch of lawyers and told me that the lawyers loved the Edition but that one said he didn't want to read about my navel flint. I laughed scornfully. So now these lawyers say that I'm writing that I have a flint in... Mr. Grieves #142 Excuse me, please. Integral Olympic Lowlights What to Wear to the Fair As the warm days of summer wind down, millions of people are spending what little money they have left after gassing up the car on corn dogs and elephant ears at county and state fairs. The people who run Weight Watchers are probably giddy when they think about the new... Quirkee Quirky Photos - Volume 5 It's the 5th edition of Quirkee Quirky Photos! WARNING: These photos stink!

I don't know if this is true, and it probably didn't happen at all. It just seems every weekend a contest... This Land is MY Land! I grew up in a relatively small town. Oh, it's downright metropolitan compared to the blip on the map where I live now, but as towns go it was relatively small. As I grew, so did the town and the last remaining parcels of farmland slowly became surrounded... Roller Derby! When my buddy asked me if I wanted to go to the Roller Derby, my first thought was of an old Charlie's Angels rerun where the girls go undercover at a corrupt roller-rink. That was always one of my favorite episodes, so I was excited to finally get the chance to see real Angels... You Ask, I Make Up Answers When you make a living as a writer and comedian (if by living you mean as much money as you'd make selling wormy apples by the side of the road ), people have lots of questions. Instead of answering them personally by phone or e-mail, I've decided... Mr. Grieves #141 Your mother tells me you have a bizarre fixation... How to Get Ahead in Business A question people seldom ask me is How did you get on the fast track to success? They don't ask me anything about success. They think because I don't wear suits or have my hair cut by professionals they can't learn anything from me. Well, I got news for those people who think... Loser Mom Syndrome The most overlooked disease facing Mothers today is Loser Mom Syndrome. LMS is a constant threat, a dark storm cloud lurking on the horizon that threatens to undermine any fleeting feelings of control and peace a mother can create for herself. You may think you are impervious to LMS. You may think you have... X Versus Y I, the World's Worst Grand Juror Sansui. Bless You. Oh Wait, That Wasn't a Sneeze? As I was getting in my car the other morning, I noticed a most distressing sight. The oak trees lining the parking lot were displaying a palette of greens, and various shades of yellows and reds. “Seriously?,” I thought. “That early?” Indeed, it was true. I closed... Dance Dance Revolt A friend of mine recently got WiiTM. Don't worry, it's not terminal. Okay, you haven't been living with a family of technophobes under a rock for the past five years and you know that WiiTM is an interactive videogame that is only slightly less popular than Barack Obama. In fact, I... A Fabulous Trip You know how some people are unflappable? I'm not one of them. I'm very flappable. I'm flapping all over the place thanks to incidents that occurred during my sexy hot trip to Southern California, which turned out to be a one-day jaunt to the teeming and ever-busy Chicago O'Hare airport and back again to... Nine Inch Nails - The Slip The Slip (also known as Halo 27) is the eighth major studio release by Nine Inch Nails.
