Danny Boy

This is the best rendition of Danny Boy I have ever heard. I almost cried.  

You’ve had a bad day at work?

Take a moment to listen to this story.  

Pick your poison!

How would you feel if you pulled up a chair and ordered up five fingers of scotch at this bar. this gives me new meaning to the phrase pick your poison. Next time you are in Switzerland check out this pace.

Chad Vader is a Creative Genius

Love this guy.

Hit Me Like a Ton of Pork

Let’s face it – most statistics force-fed the masses by the media nowadays fall into two categories: A. Well, duh. (ex. Bush approval rating) B. Who the hell cares? (i.e. the “MLB Stats Overkill” – did you know that Rich Ballplayer is the fourteenth player since 1975 to hit 25+ homers, have 20+ stolen bases, have an [...]

A Guy’s Perspective

I am a guy, male, man, as women put it – a moron. I do my daily grind in an an environment where men and women work close to each other. We interact. We discuss. We plan. We mingle. We share stories of mirth and woe. We stand around the proverbial water cooler and talk [...]

Smells Like Teen Spirit

George Carlin – R.I.P.

Stupid People, The Zoo, and George Carlin

On Sunday, June 22nd, 2008 I had the opportunity to go to the zoo with my wife and son, he is 17 months old. Prior to leaving, and most of the time we were there, we discussed how taking our 17 month old son to the zoo was most likely a waste of time, considering [...]

Et Tu, Dreyer’s?

Perhaps from my recent fried ice cream recipe, you assumed I like ice cream. You would be correct, and this fact did not prepare me for what I saw at the grocery store today: Dreyer’s has brazenly reduced the size of their ice cream cartons, with nary a price reduction or even a hint [...]

Ladies and Gentlemen – I give you Crazy.

Or comical genius, You decide.

Smitten with a Badass

Lara Logan is my goddess now. F*ck the latest crack-smoking, crotch-exposing, anorexic, deluded with grandeur tabloid whore/actress. If you did not see yesterday’s Daily Show, go to the website now and do yourself a favor. This beauty accompanies green berets on assassination assignments, for crissakes! She fights networks to show more realistic war footage! She’s [...]

Open Letter to Golden State Warrior Fans:

After witnessing the catastrophe that was last night’s Finals blowout, I would like to announce that Lamar Odom is now on the trading block – big time. After fudging around the ESPN Trade Machine, I came up with one scenario: Odom for Al Harrington and Brandan Wright. Yes, I am now willing to give you [...]

Mock Fried Ice Cream – My Humble Family Recipe

This recipe originated with the fact that one day I opened up the refrigerator and made a breathtaking discovery, one that was worth sharing: “Hun, how the f*ck did we stockpile three bottles of caramel sundae topping, every one of them open?” I was determined not to take two bottles to work and leave them in their [...]

Just Fix the F’n Problem!

At what point in our glorious national history did Americans stop being problem – solution oriented, opting instead to focus on a problem – excuse oriented strategy? I grow more weary with each day when I approach someone with a problem, that they are actually paid to solve, and the reply I get is something [...]

Not for the Faint of Heart

If you have a squeemish stomach, do not read this. I read this article this morning and almost cried in my office. I find it so terribly sad what humans will do to each other, more specifically, what adults will do to children. Take the child in this story, one of many I have read [...]

Press hard, there’s four copies

One of the best uses of CraigsList, even more so than selling your useless crap, is random rants. If you come across a good one, it’s like finding buried treasure. Click Here for a classic from a newly retired animal control officer. Also, here’s an oldie-but-goodie: the vagina couch

The Daily Shows Breaks New – again

It has always amused me when someone tries to argue with me about some subject or another using our mass media as a conduit for their perspective. Jon Stewart of The Daily Show, a comedic show that likes to poke fun at the world in general through a news mask, actually breaks more important stories [...]

One More Night? My Next Prayer is for Jason.

Marriage is basically one long string of compromises, mostly minor and some major. Any married person that says otherwise is either (a) gay, from the great state of Massachusetts and married to his/her clone, or (b) the leader of one of those cults that keep their wives down in the basement, visiting them occasionally to [...]

What do you get when….

What do you get when you mix the following things: 1 feisty cat 1 playful 85 lb boxer 1 love sack 1 box of litter 1 cat door 1 thunderstorm 2 walls Well I found out! The answer to this question was bestowed upon me when I returning from a movie tonight. The answer is surprisingly simple. Carnage… pure and simple. The result was: 1 scared shitless cat 1 85lb boxer [...]

I love MySpace

Not only the best FireFox Add-on ever, but a must-have for anyone over the age of 30. Good stuff.

This is what set me off

Enigma at work.

Apparently Enigma finally lost it at work. Take a look how he TRIED TO KILL A COWORKER.

Neuromancer: My New bible

Recently I had a hankering to read books that came out eons ago, more specifically books by William Gibson. I started with and am presently engrossed in Neuromancer, a book that, as GlazednConfused points out, makes Gibson appear to be a modern day Nostradomus. Simple put, the book fore tells the direction we are going [...]

Angle 2

Dumpster Folk

I read this article and enjoyed it, thus I am sharing it with you. I am sharing it because it made me think of something odd: when I was young I was poor. My folks had lost most of what we had in teh recession of 1980 – minus the house, they managed to hold onto [...]

Everything you need to know about American Policies!

A father and daughter discuss American Politics as a bed time story. The Q is the daughter, the A is the father. I enjoyed this. ————————————————- Q: Daddy, why did we have to attack Iraq? A: Because they had weapons of mass destruction honey. Q: But the inspectors didn’t find any weapons of mass destruction. A: That’s because the Iraqis [...]

Blankness: In Leadership and at the Pump

On an overcast southern California afternoon, I rolled my Honda Accord V6 to the fuel pump at a local Chevron station. I quickly remembered those emails blasts calling for a boycott of Chevron and Exxon/Mobile stations to force fuel prices down. That worked well. A few yards away the employees at the car wash were [...]
