Reign Drops Fall…

Just a couple of random questions that I’ve had over the last week:

• When did they start showing reruns of primetime shows in the middle of a season? (My Name is Earl, The Office, Supernatural, etc.)
• When did it become cool for guys to wear girls clothes? (I keep seeing it over and over on American Idol)

I don’t know if I want to post something or not…

Is it really necessary to tell people that birth control pills/patches/injections don’t prevent HIV/AIDS/STD’s? Let’s see… it’s a pill/patch/injection that doesn’t cover anything up (like a condom does)… does it really take any more than common sense to see that this won’t prevent STD’s? To me, this is much like the warning on chainsaws that say “Don’t stop the blade with your hand”… common sense.

The shrink wrap machine at work is the bane of my existence. That is all.

I have a daily calendar that has bits and pieces of Onion stories. Here’s the one from Monday:
