100 Raccoons – The Weird Side of the Internet – by Liam Sweeny. Imagine feeding the pigeons, and hundreds of them show up, start climbing on you, pecking at you, tuck bibs into their neck feathers and pull out plastic silverware they found in a fast food parking lot? Yeah, maybe you shouldn’t feed the […]
A Killer’s DNA – The Weird Side of the Internet – by Liam Sweeny. Epigenetics. Yup, it’s science time. Or maybe pseudoscience, or something in between. Epigenetics is the theory that things you pick up or go through in life somehow gets carried into your genetics, or DNA, or whatever. So if you develop a […]
Bathroom Pass – The Weird Side of the Internet – by Liam Sweeny. Were you a smoker in the boy’s room? Or girl’s room, for that matter? I sure was. But in high school, not in grade school. If I was in the bathroom in grade school, I had deliveries to make. Now were kids […]
Living Lake Winnipeg – The Weird Side of the Internet – by Liam Sweeny. What does it mean to be a person? Arthritis? Sure. Acne? Why not. The relentless drive, if you are a male, to slide into the DMs of any woman you find “internet hot?” Well, maybe half a person there. But it’s […]

Meatball Theft – The Weird Side of the Internet – by Liam Sweeny. Stealing is wrong. But sometimes it’s funny. Especially in Hazel Township, Pennsylvania, when a thief in the night (well, actually in the day) spirits off with the treasure of another. The betrayal, the breaking of the social contract, and let’s add to […]
Dosing the Duck – The Weird Side of the Internet – by Liam Sweeny. You ever leave a restaurant and grab a mint? They’re the chalky ones, you know, dissolve faster than your paycheck after dining there, if it is such a restaurant that offers mints post-cuisine. I always figured it was to make your […]
Handbag Bread – The Weird Side of the Internet – by Liam Sweeny. It’s tough having a medical condition or a disability. It’s actually double-tough, because a.) you have a condition that sucks ass, and 2.) most other people don’t, so the world’s really theirs. For example: say there’s a club on the third floor […]
