True Detective Stories
Friday, November 28th, 2008Apparently, the start of the holiday season brings out the dumb in everyone. This is an actual phone conversation I had this morning at work. It is printed in its entirety.

Navy Athlete Cries Foul Ball
Friday, November 28th, 2008For those of you new to SYLG, I wanted to post this warning: I am about to speak ill of a member of our armed forces.

Hitler’s Bookmark Found

Thursday, November 27th, 2008Wait a minute. I thought Barack Obama was the “Chocolate Jesus?” BERLIN – Germany’s churches criticized a businessman on Tuesday for selling thousands of Jesus chocolates. Frank Oynhausen set up his “Sweet Lord” chocolate Jesus-making business saying he wanted to restore some traditional religious values to Christmas in Germany. But the German Protestant Church criticized [...]
