Another reason to get together with so-called friends, spiteful family, or freeloader acquaintances. Not to be confused with "National Ice Cream Day", "National Soft Ice Cream Day" is Sunday, August 19. If you don't know the difference between the two days, then...

Let me understand this.  You are an officer of the law entrusted to handle a dog as part of your K9 duties.  You reside in a part of the country known to unrelenting heat and humidity during the summer season.  But for some unexplained reason, common sense values vacated your brain long enough for not one, but two dogs perishing inside your patrol vehicle.

Went to the Chick-fil-A appreciation day yesterday.  Also stopped by on National Same Sex Kiss Day this afternoon. Guess what?  The chicken tasted the same both times!

These sorts of lists always create arguments. Do you think our neighbors in Houston are the "coolest" in the US? Forbes Magazine thinks so.

Please share your love with me when I tell you that this "holiday" is so extra special, that I'm planning a personal celebration here at the radio station.  No R.S.V.P. required.  You are all

I'm headed to my one-stoplight hometown in Nebraska for a little family bonding time next week and we're planning to sit on the deck and stare at the trees, and ask the local farmers for permission

Men - we have all been there before.  Don't think for one moment that the "man cave" you set up for NFL  action is the most frequently used room in your home.  Nope.  As a regular visitor to the DOGHOUSE, it's no wonder a DOG is called man's best friend.

Toyota, Honda, Mercedes, Ford, Chevy, Nissan… All these brands claim to sell the best cars on the market, boasting reliability, endurance, speed and the like. But when it comes to what the general public thinks, which of these brands actually lives up to their claim?

Last year, AC/DC launched their own brand of wine in their native Australia. The response was so good that, in February, they were able to begin exporting it to the U.K. Now, they look to conquer an even bigger market, with the product soon to hit select stores in America.

Didn't even know there was such a thing as ACSI.  An acronym for the "Atrociously Complex Sexual Inhibitions" index.  Be very aware that you and I are likely a part of this statistic at least once monthly! Now I know you're scratching your head.  Me too!  W-w-w-w-w-ait just a moment.  Do you remember the old Saturday Night Live episodes featuring Gilda Radner as "Rose Anne Rosanna D
