Dogs and Birds
I hate our neighbor's dogs. He has two dogs, and one of them is dumb as a sack of hammers. She barks at everything. Wind, traffic, birds, the sky, life in general, any excuse whatsoever to bark her head off. She has a particular fondness for barking at 2 in the morning.

Lately though, it’s been completely out of control and Rachel figured out why the barking increased so much: They’re being harassed by birds.

See, their owner locks them into big dog carriers at night, While I appreciate the fact that this generally shuts them up, that hasn’t worked because there are these black birds that come up and steal dog food. Of course, they can’t eat the dog food so they carry it up to the tin patio roof and try to drop it (over and over and over) to break it.
It never works. Then for some reason the birds carry it over to our side of the patio and put it onto our patio furniture.

So on one hand, I have a little (tiny) bit of sympathy for them. On the other, man, I just wish they’d just the hell up.

Frightening thought No. 3: Vagina Dentata
My wife has enlightened me to the fact that there is a term for the notion of how a vagina could be a mouth .. with teeth. I find this really disturbing. The term is 'vagina dentata'.

We talked just for a bit about how this idea may or may not be as frightening as "the Corinthian" from Neil Gaiman's Sandman graphic novels - he has mouths with sharp teeth instead of eyes, and eats victims' eyes with them. We had this conversation outside as I was on my way to work.

I believe this 'vagina dentata' thing is much scarier because, as I put it: "I am not in the habit of stuffing my penis into other people's eyes."

Just then, I noticed our 10-year-old little girl neighbor peeking over the fence. I think I've just scarred someone for life.
