Can You Hear Me Now?

With all the buzz going on about the latest smartphones to transcend being mere rumors, we’d like to present this comparison chart. We know which ones are our favorites, but we are sure there will be contention among the office soon. New phones pop up faster than you can say “Droid X?!”. ::gasp::

Big Brother?

What if Cornel West, Michael Eric Dyson and/or Hill Harper had a reality TV show?

What are YOU looking at?!

You have twenty-six minutes left to get to your destination and, of course, there is traffic. One accident you accounted for, no problem. That second accident less than a mile up the same stretch of road, however, is the perfect situational “screw you”  requisite for reassessing your good deeds over the last week. As you near the flashing lights you discover the bane of many motorist’s life; the accident isn’t even on your side of the road. On top of that, there is a barrier between your side and that side. Meaning at 75mph you still present no threat to the parties in said accident save maybe a strong gust of wind and one of the coolest effects in the aural realm (eeeeyyurrrrmmm). Keep it moving!

Sister/Sis… Mister?

“Tell me is there any more room for me in those dominant genes?!”

You are dating someone and she tells you that she has siblings. Okay. Eventually she shows you pictures of them. Cool. One day you finally meet them and you get along great with them. Whew. Meet-and-greet nearly accomplished, everything is dandy until your date turns a certain way and now you notice something. She looks just like her brother. A resemblance -no matter how much you try to deny it- you see more than ever before.

Oh no. There is no ‘reset’ button either. You can’t remove the dots once the connection is made. They’re almost twins now! Oh, yeah, others might say they don’t really see it, good for them. But they aren’t you; you can’t ignore it. And it will probably become most poignant at the worst possible times too. In fact, the only thing that can top the ‘sister-mister’ is a father-daughter resemblance.

So what do you do? Also, is this an issue? What about when the genders are reversed?

Parenting

We’re no experts, but…

if it’s 11:30pm and your kids are in the middle of the city streets unchaperoned howling (hopefully at the moon, if nothing else), you might be f*cking up.

Everyday, advocates for a license to have kids seem less and less crazy.  Do you think a bill would pass for a license to have more than one child?  Imagine the posters in support.  ”Kids:  the first one’s a gimme.”
