Deary me. Have you seen the commercial for this? It was running during American Idol. It’s an artificial knee. Especially for women. Hmmm. This is weird. The tagline is “The Knee Women are Talking About”.
OK, I couldn’t find the commercial that I saw online, but check [...]

Dear Kali,
My friend only shows interest in guys that she knows I like. She’s fun and nice and I like her a lot, but I can’t help but think it’s no accident when she hits on yet another guy she knows I’m interested in. How do I remain friends with her and keep [...]

Why don’t you fill out this quick survey? Be a part of a historic study on human sanitation habits. Come back after February 28th to see the results.

Recently, John Amaechi became the first former NBA player to reveal that he is gay. When ex-NBA star Tim Hardaway was interviewed by a Florida radio station and asked how he would react to having a gay teammate, Hardaway said that he was homophobic and said “I don’t like gay people”.

Today, I took a pretty good fall and then later, I puked on myself from coughing.
 

Remember the astronaut love triangle story? Well, finer detail now emerges. It turns out the diaper she wore to enhance her driving endurance was actually a “space diaper”.
Someone on Ebay is auctioning off this diaper and claims it was left behind at a bed and breakfast by astronaut Lisa Nowak on [...]

UrbanDictionary.com gives credit to Gallagher for coining the term “ass gasket”. Why does this phrase seem so crude to me? I mean, I’d call my mom a syphilitic cocksucker without blinking, but calling a paper toilet seat cover an “ass gasket” is out of the question… except that I’m titling this story “Ass [...]

fresh roast beef and cheddar with extra mayo and pickles only on dark sourdough roll (Genova Delicatessen)
pan-fried chicken breast, cheddar and bacon with mayo and pickles on ciabatta roll
egg salad with pickles, black olives, bacon, and cheddar on toasted, [...]

Some kid in China killed 443 chickens when he screamed like a little twerp when a barking dog scared him.
What I wonder is: can you really trust local news from China? I’m skeptical, but it sure is damned cute!

Everyone is worrying about you.
You’ve been accused of being heavily medicated, using illegal drugs, or drunk. I don’t know what you’re taking, but it is [...]

Right now it seems like everyone is surprised by how much they care that Anna Nicole Smith is dead. Even fans are like, wow, this is really tragic on an personal level. I noticed a headline on CNN today that was essentially “Anna Nicole - Why We Give a Shit.” We are [...]

Dear Kali,
After a 20 year disastrous marriage to a man that was mentally ill, I am now in a very very happy relationship with a new man. We’ve been living together for the last six months. Because both of us have had very unhappy relationships in which both of us cheated on our spouses as [...]

Nothing better than advice columns. I could read them all day… Ivana, Margo, Savage Love… and now, Kali! I think you’ll really like getting to know Kali and find her advice worth considering. In a quandry? Let Kali help you sort it out.

Two human skeletons were found in an “eternal embrace” at an archaeological dig site around Mantova, Italy. Experts say they were buried 5,000 to 6,000 years ago.

This morning at the local bagel shoppe, I was paying for my food when the guy at the cashier did a “what’s with this beard thing?” motion, waving his hand around his mouth.
I took it to mean: “What are you doing with your beard?”
Lately, I’ve been experimenting with my facial hair. I grew a full [...]

Hear it for yourself. Unless you don’t like irritating dissonance performed by improvising non-musician with low-quality recording equipment on toy instruments.

3. Piano Diablo instrumental
Really, everyone who has heard these songs has disliked (or even hated) them. Fair warning.

This is the man that inspired his fellow astronaut, Navy captain Lisa Marie Nowak, to allegedly kidnap her love rival. After her arrest she told the police the diapers in her car were used to reduce stops on the road to commit her crime. Read the whole story on CNN.

Dude, she [...]
