Fists Of Fury

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

A conversation had at work today: V: I’m not cold. Me, Overhearing: You’re not old? V: Cold, I’m not cold. Me: Oh, I thought you said you weren’t old. Because, you know, you’re old. Maybe because you’re so old you forgot that you’re old. V: You know, the last person who called me old ended [...]

Where I Work

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

These two Dilbert comics apparently pretty accurately describe my work: http://www.dilbert.com/comics/dilbert/archive/dilbert-20071126.html http://www.dilbert.com/comics/dilbert/archive/dilbert-20071125.html My work isn’t really like that, though.  Well, it kind of is.  C’est la vie.

I Don’t Like People Who Don’t Drink

Monday, November 26th, 2007

Kind of a blanket statement, that title, isn’t it? This came up as a conversation between myself and The Wife. A conversation that She greatly disagreed with me about. The problem is that when I say something like “I don’t like people who don’t drink,” I don’t mean it to be a binary like/dislike. This [...]

Ron Paul’s Congressional voting record shows that he is a crazy person, I just wanted to point that out.

That One Dell Guy

Tuesday, November 13th, 2007

I always wondered what happened to that Dell guy who did those commercials years ago.  What was it? A year ago that he got busted for Schmoking the ganj?  At least he’s now ‘happy,’  according to the interview anyways.  And finally, he looks creepy as fuck in that picture that accompanies the interview.

Mukasey Sworn In

Friday, November 9th, 2007

Well, he got through – though by the closest margin in 50 years, 53-40. Not quite the 70% that it was initially expected to be. Hopefully he won’t fuck it up too bad. Though, it’s hard to do worse than Alberto Gonzalez. There’s a lot to like about the guy, I will say that, but [...]

Damn Thermostat

Ever have one of those thermostats where if you set it for 65° and it turns your house into a tropical jungle, but the next day it won’t even kick on, regardless of what you set it to? Fuck me that’s annoying as all get out.

This tagline can kiss my ass.
