nobody@vox.com(Cherney) — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 21:51:19 -0500

I am a farmer who raise ducks and cows. The animals have a total of 9 heads and 26 feet. How many ducks and cows do I have? Submitted by The BlueTie. You have four cows and one duck. And what a terrifying duck it is. Some of those heads are grow...

All right, I'll forget about the whole riddle thing

nobody@vox.com(Cherney) — Wed, 23 Jul 2008 22:04:32 -0500

The answer was Uncle. The sentence "Abe begins Uncle Ben's biopsy first" is written in alphabetical order. Except uncle. Also, all of the words in the sentence are written in alphabetical order (A before B before E, and so on). Except uncle. Als...

Jenna is the best wife ever

nobody@vox.com(Cherney) — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 22:31:47 -0500

The last couple of wee ks here have been something of a whirlwind. Between the huge projects coming up unexpectedly at work and the demise of poor Horace and Aaron's newfound love of not going to sleep, I've been pretty much on edge since getting...

Playing Along on the Car Moniker

nobody@vox.com(Cherney) — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 22:10:18 -0500

Fare thee well, Horace the Taurus. We barely knew thee. Welcome, new car. Clearly, this car needs a name. Every car I've ever named in a timely fashion has lasted me several years and given me plenty of satisfactory automotive satisfaction, or f...

Savings, Both Daylight and Financial

nobody@vox.com(Cherney) — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 23:08:38 -0500

Like most people, recent economic events have me concerned and recent three-year-olds refusing to go to bed have me cranky. I found myself looking for some solutions and found a pamphlet at my local bank that helped me sleep slightly better at nig...

Come on down to some place and see the great deals

nobody@vox.com(Cherney) — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 23:21:26 -0500

Well, we're in need of a new car. Or a used car that runs like new. So if you are giving away new or used-but-like-new cars, or selling them for a price so low you're practically giving them away, please let us know. We're looking for a real beau...

Bird-brained

nobody@vox.com(Cherney) — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 23:13:32 -0500

When we lived in Chicago, we didn't see very many birds. "Look," we'd say. "There's a pigeon. And that one there, that's... a pigeon. Oh, look, it's eating the first pigeon." The pigeons in Chicago were mean. Sometimes we got some crows. And by s...

Taken by storm

nobody@vox.com(Cherney) — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 22:40:00 -0500

Everyone was hard at work today when one of the voices in the office carried just a little bit above everyone else's. "Sounds like there's going to be a big storm coming." Of course, most of us are cubicle dwellers, for whom weather conditions a...

Mad in America

nobody@vox.com(Cherney) — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 23:18:17 -0500

Mad Men is fantastic. Can't wait for July 27th. Jenna and I have been watching one episode and one commentary a night since buying the DVD. And not blogging. We love it. Although Jenna says that you could have found a better sociologist for ...

Five non-cement oriented things we did since Saturday

nobody@vox.com(Cherney) — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 22:39:42 -0500

Yes the weekend was five days ago. I've been busy, dudes and ladies. 1. We took Aaron to his first movie in his first movie theater. It was the tiny little theater downtown, and I must say I was pleasantly surprised with how modern and stylin' i...
