I have only had to call a plumber once in Twin Falls and it was an uneventful experience...and a surprising lack of plumber's crack...but that's not the point. The point is, when you hire somebody to do a job you expect them to do a better job than you yourself - or even a small child - would do. These pictures prove that just calling yourself a plumber is not enough.

Everyone who plays the lottery has their own fantasy of what they'd do first if they won. Two brothers from Wichita, Kan. celebrated their big lottery win by buying meth and weed, which resulted in them accidentally blowing-up their house and getting arrested...

When I think of the Olympics - I think of javelin throwing, chariot races, and wrestling! One of those has been out for a long time (I am talking about the chariots if you didn't know) and now the International Olympic Committee has decided to axe Wrestling from the Olympic games! Why you ask? To make room for Golf and Rugby

And we thought the parents who were ragging on Hide and Seek were insane! Here is another one from the crazy and overprotective adults files - Australia’s National Health and Medical Research Council has banned children from blowing out the candles on birthday cakes in school. What a downer!

As seen during most Super Bowl parties across the Magic Valley and the United States - advertisers spend a lot of time and money on their promotions. Which makes these photos that much funnier. It isn't the actual story or billboard by itself, but the combination of two advertisements near each other making for irony and hilarity...and maybe an even more memorable advertisement. There is even a fu

There are days when I think that I am an overprotective, crazy dad. And then I read stories about the parents who are crazier than I am and I feel better. These parents made me feel better about myself today.

Here is an interesting excuse for not paying a tip...and it almost makes sense. The pastor who was with a party larger than 8 people wrote on the receipt "I give God 10% why do you get 18%?"

I am not an old man set in my ways...but I am skeptical of things that seem too easy or obvious for me to have not been doing for the past 30 years. I just learned yesterday (apparently everyone else already knew it) that if you have a problem with always boiling over your water when cooking noodles, you simply put a wooden spoon over the pot and that fixes the problem! How and why - I have no ide

I have four kids and I do not look forward to certain conversations. I already had the where do chicken nuggets come from, so that is out of the way. The big one with the birds and the bees is not too far away I believe.

It's a story that should make everybody want to invest in a fishing boat. A 489 pound bluefish tuna caught off the coast of Japan has just been sold for $1.76 million during an auction at Toyko's Tsukiji fish market.

So we have had snow on the ground since Christmas Day...and basically since then it has been too cold to go out and play in it. The solution - sledding in the warmth of a car...sort of.

Before you head out to see a movie this weekend, think about this. I went to the movies last week with some friends to see The Hobbit - which was a great movie by the way. I bought some candy but not popcorn. My friend bought a giant popcorn and during the movie offered me the bucket to take some...and I did. Maybe I shouldn't have...
