Anyone listening to Secret Laboratory Radio this weekend must have thought that they had tuned in an insane asylum, one which had been overrun by the patients and was being taken apart, piece by piece. It wasn’t pretty, nor was…

UPDATE: Mental Illness Redux – Behaviorist Mike Samsa Responds. I was having a heated discussion today about the somewhat contrived nature of modern psychology – at least fringe psychology. You see, as I understand things (with said understandings…

Here’s a bit of mildly interesting mélange of events for you. First, it goes without saying that the Citizens United decision gets smellier the longer it remains unflushed in the toilet of our legislative process. My opinion, for what it’s…

On Sunday night I got to see one of my favorite comedians, Pete Holmes, perform live at the Cedar Cultural Center in Minneapolis, MN. Pete may be best known for his voice-over work including that of the e*trade baby, but…

Sometimes everyone needs a break from something they love. For me it’s been a break from writing – I haven’t touched my personal blog in months and have just reposted some older ones for Secret Laboratory. I even put my…

Stanley stood quietly drinking a lemonade and staring at the dead Hutterite man lying on his front step. He was sprawled out on his back with an arrow sticking out of his chest. Stanley wondered if he could tell time…

Traveling with my children when they were younger was never an enjoyable experience. Amber is two and one half years older than Ryan, so they never really got along until just a few years ago. Needless to say, there have…

Since my last article, my life has gone through some drastic changes. I moved to a new town, was screwed out of the job I was promised, learned how to juggle my son’s time with his father now that distance…

My hands gripped the steering wheel so tightly my knuckles tingled with pain, sending a quiver of excitement down my spine. I needed this touch of exhilaration badly. My life had become so boring, so mundane, so monotonous, every humdrum…

Pent-up frustration can sometimes drive me over the edge causing a slew of very unlady-like words to spill out of my mouth. This usually consists of a few fucks, dammits, shits, and the little bit nicer screw you. It’s not…

I used to work with a couple of chicks who were slightly crazier than I am, Cassidy and Lupe. Cassidy, was the main culprit, always doing something awful and causing mischief. Lupe, on the other hand, was the quiet one.…

Editor’s Note: This is not one of my typical columns; it is an example of an online dating profile. I think I’ll use it. Fuck it. This is just where my head is at these days. Have you noticed that…

This weekend the residents of Ogdensburg, NY held their annual Border Clash marathon, and a fine time was had by all participants, volunteers and viewers. But that’s where the list ends. I say that because at the end of the…

I had to run some errands today, nothing special, just a trip to the grocery store. We live on a pretty busy road, so as I waited at the top of the driveway several cars drove by. Actually they drove…

On a nightstand on the edge of its master’s bed, an old orange cup sat and waited. It was a simple cup – short and squat, with a handle just big enough for a child’s hand to grasp. In its heyday…

It seems like every time I flip through the newspaper or turn on the news there’s another fatal or near-fatal shooting being reported. It’s one of the many reasons I try to avoid watching the news, actually. My heart sincerely…

Editor’s Note: In this video, our West Coast correspondent, YDO, sings Clearwire’s praises as a wireless Internet provider. He also smokes some pot and shows us all what we’d be doing on a Wednesday afternoon in a perfect world. Robert…

Editor’s Note: Our West Coast correspondent, YDO, is heavily medicated this evening. Robert Martin, born sometime in 1961, began working at the age of 15 as a truck driver when his dad got too drunk to drive. He was in…

Hey Lab Rats. I have a somewhat disconcerting fact to drop on you. Life isn’t fair. I know, right? DAMN IT! At some point in everyone’s life, we all come to this grim conclusion. Maybe you got laid off –…

Grandbaby Harper spent the evening with us today and I watched happily as she took those amazing first tries at crawling. One hand after another while moving her little legs she gave me an evil, little grin that said “Get…

After three years of planning and prepping I finally have my outdoor herb garden. No, you fucking potheads, not that kind of herb. I’m talking about a different kind of green stuff. My herb garden is filled with things that…

Throughout Christianity, many have claimed to have seen images of Jesus Christ. For those who are religious it’s very believable to think that Christ will appear to his followers, but somehow I doubt that he will show up in a…

I’m not one to brag, but I just so happen to be fabulous at making baked goods. One night out of boredom, I chose to make one of my signature treats; my famous Rather Have Sex cookies. They are not…

The car is leaking oil. Not really leaking but more dripping. Slobbering. Drooling. But the good news is that it’s only when it runs. I think. It’s hard to diagnose these things on your own. I just can’t bring myself…
