  1. Neat ideas on the “recycling” page. I would caution against the “bacon grease for the birds” project though…I’ve read that birds can’t taste the salt in bacon grease, so there is the real possibility they will unwittingly eat too much, upset their electrolyte balance, and die. Other fats are OK, just stay away from the salted stuff

  2. I was reading some of the comments on the worst Halloween candy list, but none of them top the story I heard a few years back. It was the 70′s, and there was a guy in my friend’s neighborhood who was a DJ at a local radio station. For Halloween, he’d give out records that the station got but wouldn’t play. My friend got William Shatner’s spoken word album.

  3. Green your junk. What are people doing, dyeing their pubes? Maybe that could have been phrased better.
