If You Have a Broken or Bruised Coccyx – Tailbone

A little Tom Guard humor.

Ok, so a friend of mine was roller skating and fell on her tailbone. She bruised it up pretty bad. The tailbone is also called a coccyx. Pretty funny name for a bone. It’s pronounced “cock-sicks.”

As humans, we don’t realize the importance of our coccyx or ass-bone. If such an injury should occur, there are limitation to what one can do while they heal.

Here are some of these limitations:

No sitting – unless you use a doughnut, but don’t head to Dunkin Donuts just yet.

Don’t push out farts.

Don’t pick your wedgies.

No cha-cha slide or hokey pokey.

Don’t use a hula-hoop.

No intercourse of course and you can’t ride a horse (I sound like Dr. Seuss.)

No bull riding.

No lap-dancing.

Stay away from bar stools.

Speaking of stool…how the heck do you poop with a busted tailbone?

No spanking or any of that other funny stuff.

Stay off the unicycle.

Pilates is out of the question.

No yoga.

No bumping and grinding to Snoop Dog.

When the song says “Back dat ass up” you better just freeze.

Stay off the fucking skates that got you there in the first place.

Cleveland – Most Miserable City In The U.S.

Cleveland – Most Miserable City In The U.S.

I just finished reading a piece in Forbes.com.  Cleveland topped the list again in Forbes.com, this time for most miserable city in the U.S.  I am a Clevelander and I’m not miserable, but I know that the city does have its troubles.  Wait, the city has a lot of trouble.

When you lay-off cops, you employ crime.

People are moving out of the city at an alarming rate.

There is almost a 20% foreclosure rate.

Drive through any neighborhood, especially the east-side and you will see some of the most beautiful houses in the world boarded up.

The article goes on to say

“This year Cleveland takes the top spot in our third annual ranking of America’s Most Miserable Cities. Cleveland secured the position thanks to its high unemployment, high taxes, lousy weather, corruption by public officials and crummy sports teams (Cavaliers of the NBA excepted).”

Click here to see the entire article.

I was born and raised here. The people aren’t miserable….

What am I going to do about living in the most miserable city in the nation? Well I’m not miserable, but I am moving out of the state in March. I’ll miss Cleveland. I hope it can shine again in the media eyes again.

If you want to read a great post about Cleveland and what it has to offer. Read this post from one of my favorite bloggers.

GO CAVS!!!!!

A Correction and Apology to Reporter Janet Cho

In a blog post I that wrote not long ago, I failed to give credit to the source or a link back to the original article. I was upset that the City of Brooklyn Ohio raised taxes and that it could lead to American Greetings moving out of the area. I hate when hear that people may be getting laid-off. I know, I’m one of these statistics. I lost my job in April of 2009.  In my frustration and impatience, I failed to cite Janet Cho as the source of the original article.

Janet is a great reporter in the City of Cleveland. She’s an asset to the business community in Cleveland.

We at The Daily Bragger offer an apology to Janet.

Can you track your child with GPS

Tracking your child with a GPS.

You turn your back for one second at the mall, and poof… your child isn’t there. You call out there name only to find that they are in the next aisle looking at toys or hiding from you. This is the case most of time and as a father of a 7 year old, it scares me sometimes when he plays outside.

Little Buddy Child Tracker

Little Buddy Child Tracker

I was doing some reading to find if you can actually track your child with a GPS device and found out there is something out there that can track your child. It will even send you an alert via text message if they get too far away from an area.

It’s called the Insignia Little Buddy Child Tracker.

The Insignia Little Buddy Child Tracker keeps tabs on your child at all times with this small but sophisticated device that combines GPS and cellular technology to provide you with real-time location updates. The small and lightweight Little Buddy transmitter fits easily into a backpack, lunchbox or other receptacle, making it easy for your child to carry so you can check his or her location at any time using a smartphone or computer.

It has customizable safety checks allow you to establish specific times and locations where your child is supposed to be for example, in school causing the device to alert you with a text message if your child leaves the designated area during that time. Additional real-time alerts let you know when the device’s battery is running low so you can take steps to ensure your monitoring isn’t interrupted.

So the next time you want to know if there is a device that can track your child, the answer is..yes there is.

Until they come up with an implantable device that you can put into your teenage daughter, this seem to be the next best thing.

Reasons Why Myspace Failed – Because of a Chicken Recipe

Image representing MySpace as depicted in Crun...

I was reading an article about Myspace laying off employees because of slow ad revenue and because people were flocking to Facebook.

Why MySpace Failed

  • I knew that Myspace was going to have some trouble when I would post a link to a website and big warning would pop-up telling my friends that Myspace blocked this link or that it may be a “phishing site.”
  • Social Media is about sharing. If you take sharing out of the equation, what good is a “social networking site.”
  • Another reason for Myspace #FAIL is that it  is not user friendly. It overwhelming to some people. There are flashy links, ads galore, slow load times on pages from amateur HTML copy and pasters and plenty of other bells and whistles that are not needed.
  • There blogging format sucks and will also block outbound links with a spam/phishing warning.
  • Captcha Captcha Captcha – How many times did you type that captcha word before you got it right?
  • Spammers. Blame the markerters for this one. They blew up myspace with marketing spam from everything to viagra to finding “Hot chicks in your area.”

Now Myspace caused News Corp to lose 363 million dollars. That’s what these bastards get for impeding the ability to share a link about a new chicken recipe.

Having A Nicheless Blog

Having a Nicheless Blog

Yes, the Daily Bragger has no niche. (Well, sort of.) I really never stick to a topic and continue to write posts about same thing over and over again. (Making me one of the worst blogs around.)

This is my own personal blog. I write about what I like or don’t like. I write about what can be done to improve.

So if you find that your blog does not have a niche, don’t worry people will actually read what you have to say. Everybody has a story.

If you can’t find your niche, just write. Keep writing. Eventually you will find your flow.

I treat each individual post as its own website. That way when I optimize for the search engines the single posts are picked up better by the search engines than the entire blog itself. (Just one of my many SEO tricks I use.  – I’m pretty slick when it comes to SEO, but I don’t want to write a blog about it.)

Besides B.S and bragging. Do you think this blog has a niche of some sort?

Ads From The Back Page of a Comic Book – Johnson Smith Catalog

Johnson Smith Catalog
dailybragger Do you remember the advertisements at the back of a comic book? If you’re in your 30’s or older, you’ll remember the ad of that creepy guy holding his hand out in front of him while wearing some bizarre glasses. Those were the x-ray specs. One day, I had my mom order a catalog for me. Then when it came in the mail, I would daydream all day long about the products in the catalog. Today, the catalog has 1000′s of products you will not believe exist.
ThingsYouNeverKnewExisted.com
Those ads were from the Johnson Smith Company. In 1905 Alfred Johnson Smith, started selling his novelties and practical jokes in Australia. The company was officially founded in the U.S.A. in 1914, when Mr. Smith shipped his first package from Chicago.
Australia to Chicago was to be the first of several moves…
The Johnson Smith Company relocated to Racine, Wisconsin in 1926. Nine years later the company made a mid-depression move to Detroit, Michigan with the intention of starting a Canadian subsidiary across the Detroit River. Those plans were abandoned with the outbreak of World War II. The company remained near the Detroit riverfront for nearly 35 years, until it moved to Mt. Clemens, Michigan (a Detroit suburb) in the early 1970s.
In 1986 the company made an exciting move to Bradenton, Florida, to a specially-designed building that enables us to serve our customers with state-of-the-art technology and service!
This story is not without sociological aspects and influences. During the 1920s and 1930s, practical jokes and home hobbies provided an escape for people wracked with economic struggle brought on by WWI and the Great Depression. Their 700-page catalog provided hours of “escape,” fun and fantasy for the depressed nation, even without having to place an order! Even today Johnson Smith hears from people who remember the catalog and the “relief” it provided! Today, the Johnson Smith catalog is known as Things You Never Knew Existed…And other items you can’t POSSIBLY live without! and still brings hours of enjoyment to people across the country.

guy. You have seen him many times in the back of the comic books. Well, here he is again making the same old choking gesture in order to get you to buy that classic fake vomit.

Here are some more of those classic ads. Recognize any of these? Click the ad to see if you guessed correctly.
