On the , packed with classmates from his suburban Utah school, Rain peered out the window, mortified. "The school bus for the first time ever came down our street this year," explains Rain's dad, Dale, to Utah's Daily Herald. "This was [my son's] first year on the bus. And so began Dale's hazing ritual that continued every day for the rest of his son's school year. Over time, Rain's most humbling moment became his most anticipated. The father of three, a stay-at-home dad, raided the family's Halloween costume collection, borrowed outfits from neighbors, and managed to spend under $50 over the year to make his son's bus ride the highlight of the day.

Gary: Landlord of the Flies The 7 Most Bizarrely Unlucky People Who Ever Lived We're not saying these are the unluckiest people in history; we realize the world is full of starving children and cancer victims. But sometimes you see people who have weird, one-in-a-million instances of bad luck, often over and over again, and you can't help but wonder if they didn't piss off a Gypsy at some point. We're talking about people like... Jason and Jenny Cairns-Lawrence Unlucky Because: They've been attacked by terrorists more times than John McClane. It wasn't just New Yorkers who were traumatized by the September 11th World Trade Center attacks. Wait, did we say once in a lifetime? At this point they may have felt cursed or, worse, that they were unknowingly starring in an action film that kept doing shitty sequels. But it wasn't over. There they saw the worst terror attack in that country's history, as shooting and bombing attacks killed and wounded hundreds. News stories say the couple "refused to cut short their holiday" after the Mumbai attack. Violet Jessop Ann Hodges

You'll laugh your ass off. (I did.) I looked up my old post about LASIK surgery recently so I could give the link to a friend who’s considering the procedure. I’m not sure what word best describes the feeling I get when reading old posts, but it’s similar to the feeling I get when looking at old yearbook photos.

Upon returning home, I discover that Kev has a lot more to say to his daughter now that she’s grown up a bit. It’s then that she appears to snap, and surprises me by coming back with some insults of her own. I thought she was going to be incapable of any kind of negative social interaction due to her ‘good’ trait. Next: Enemies Like this: Like Loading...
