I Did Not Get A Glass

So I beat the Get The Glass game, but I don’t see how this gets me any closer to having a glass. Surely these people don’t think that a glass on the computer is the same as a glass in my kitchen? What is up with this? How do I get my freakin’ glass? Oh [...]

One Of Them Milk Days

I was unable to secure the glass via Get The Glass which saddened me considerably. I just do not have any video game skills. But then I was at the grocery store and discovered a display that said if I bought 2 packs of Oreos and a gallon of milk I could get 2 cups [...]

Wretched iPhoto 5

So. In January I bought a new digital camera to replace my 5 year old model, which would take a maximum picture size of about 300K. The new camera has too many megapixels and even putting it to a reasonable setting each photo is at least 1M. Now just as an aside I find these [...]

Office Backlash Against Sauce and Food Smell Tyranny

The Door At The End of The Hall

Is alarmed, in case you were wondering. And no, I could not hear the alarm over the music. And I was on the phone when the police came. I denied all knowledge of any trips down the hall to the door. And you know I never tell lies, Faithful Reader. Sample conversation with cop: Cop: [...]

How Crazy Is Britney?

I’m guessing pretty crazy. “Guess What I’m Crazy” would also be a good album title. So would “They Took Away My Babies So I Wouldn’t Try To Eat Them.” Or even, “They Took Away My Babies After The Third Time They Caught Me Trying To Eat Them.” Good old Brit. You gotta love her.

Snaps

I’d like to send some snaps to Mr Damien Hirst. And a bedazzled skull, maybe. Of course I used rhinestones from Michael’s and they were only about $10, not $50 million.

More Coffee Maker Weirdness

About 4 years ago my parents gave us an insanely expensive coffeemaker which has actually turned out to be a good investment. You figure $150 for a Cuisinart coffeemaker that has the following features: 1. Grinds its own beans 2. Has some kind of ability to maintain the time on the clock even when the [...]

Evan Almighty

Last night we saw Evan Almighty, at the Lyric Theatre here in Blacksburg, which I gather was some kind of screening before it actually came out in theatres. Overall, I thought it was solid. Theme: environmentalism. The good: Oh, the actors were all fantastic. And the animals were really funny. The bad: It was set [...]

Second Horseman Of This Morning

The chicken Tikka Masala sandwich was not really that bad. I wouldn’t go so far as to say it was good though.

4 Horsemen

New plan: think of everything in terms of the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Armageddon: 1. Death 2. Plague 3. War 4. Famine California Housing Bubble: 1. Rising interest rates 2. Foreclosures 3. Unsold new home glut 4. High prices This morning: 1. Wife Breaks Coffee Pot 2. Tupperware Has All Disappeared So Have To [...]

June

According to Hoard’s Dairyman,* June is Dairy Month. Who knew? So drink your milk. *We have a subscription, for God’s sake

Welly’s Cheap Bling

I was able to purchase this blinged skull for only $3 at Wal-Mart, cockroach of American retailers. Now of course she’ll want the $100 million version. And who can blame her? This work really is cool. I love it. I love the diamonds, I love the platinum, I love the teeth. Bling. I love, love, [...]

Another Night, Another Frat Party In The Street

Really Drunk Guy Leaning On His Friend: Hey ladies. Can you do us a really huge favor and drive us to 7-11? Me: Um, no. Friend: Shit. Shit! RDGLOHF: (with crafty look in his eye) Well then, can you tell us where it is? Me: (truthfully) Well, not really. (getting into car) Friend: Tony the [...]
