Bad Grinch…..BAD!!!
Breaking News – This just into the LarryLand News Desk (pretty much just a regular desk when you get right down to it). The Grinch Has Stolen Christmas Again! Captured on camera, the Grinch is clearly standing over the prone body of Mr. Claus, allegedly holding Santa’s gift bag. Local police are asking for the…

What We Gain(es)
I saw the Magnolia Magazine in the Market. In it, Joanna Gaines is standing in an old barn-like building with bare wood walls and studs (but not her husband Chip). She is wearing work clothes and heavy boots. Standing in the light from the doorway, she is staring off at some point unknown, meaningfully. What…

Fun at the DMV
At the DMV, they have a new slogan: Driving Change. I looked at the clerk earnestly, pointed at the screen, and said this: “I see here your screen says you’re Driving Change. Can you tell me what type of change – quarters, dimes, nickels? I’d support quarters, because they sometimes work in parking meters.” She…

It’s Gonna be Epic
So I’m shopping at the local supermarket. For every purchase, they have me enter my phone number and in return I get a small break on gas (Umm… don’t misinterpret that one). I know that the reason that they do this is because they collect information on our shopping habits and predict what we’re doing…

Eating Healthy
Yes, I honestly did this. I walked into Starbucks, where their sign says “Anytime Protein”. Under this are a series of bacon and egg sandwiches. I pointed at the sign and asked the barista: “At what time is bacon NOT a protein? Is there a specific time where bacon is not a protein? If bacon…

Larry the Lobster
I went to my fish monger. The manager at the store was trying to train lobsters to stand on their head. I absolutely kid you not. This is exactly what LarryLand needs – A trained lobster show starring Larry the Lobster.

Wine Tasting 101
I was in my local wine shop the other day, where lots of wine tasting notes from famous wine tasters line the aisles. One caught my attention – it stated that the wine “tastes of tomato leaf, tobacco and graphite.” My question is this: What does this guy eat? When your wine starts to taste…

Bad House Day
We were having dinner with our friends Kory and Suzie the other day, discussing all of the house flipping in our neighborhood. All of these houses are being “Magnolia-d” in black and white, including painting the roof tiles black. My wife astutely observed that once the next rain comes, these houses will look like Rudy…
