The Mic Is On: We’re Talking About Stupid . . . Yep, Unbelievable Things!

May 29, 2007 by Liz

It’s Like Open Mic Only Different

The Mic Is On

Here’s how it works.

It’s like any rambling conversation. Don’t try to read it all. Jump in whenever you get here. Just go to the end and start talking. EVERYONE is WELCOME.
The rules are simple — be nice.

There are always first timers and new things to talk about. It’s sort of half “Cheers” part “Friends” and part video game. You don’t know how much fun it is until you try it.

Can You Believe It?

Here’s a few ideas to get us started:

  • Dumb laws that are still on the books
  • Stupid situations
  • Crazy things we watched
Silly Cat

And, whatever else comes up, including THE EVER POPULAR, Basil the code-writing donkey.

Oh, and bring a link about unbelievable things, if you have one to share.
