An offer of a second paycheck, brought to you by a guy who can’t spell.
Spend 5 minutes surfing this blog. Guaranteed, you’ll find at least one entry in which I’m screaming about the economy, or kicking someone in the teeth for dangling a job in front of me and then running like hell the other way with it. I might be a little tiny … Read the rest

The following links will mock themselves. But you can feel free to help.
Yes, yes, yes, I’m way behind. And I have things saved that are long overdue to be ranted upon–but the following 3 links, just… really… what more can be said? I get the thrill of joining the “mile high club”. Really, I do. I’d never *do* it, mostly because those … Read the rest

Just when you thought only Facebook could make Facebook look vaguely dramatic…
… Along comes this admittedly slightly not so recent news story. Guy posts a status update about the anniversary of his mother’s death. Whole bunch of people click that damned annoying like button about it, thusly inflating his ego to about the size of the Goodyear blymp. His estranged wife, … Read the rest

Mmmm… bacon. And beer. … Bacon beer? Only in America.
And apparently, only at the Great american Beer Festival–or, at least, that’s where it was discovered. In Denver, earlier this month. Forget the bacon and eggs as your hangover food.

Giorgio Mammoliti on Toronto: We want to be our own have-not province!

One of the reasons for that would be city councellor Giorgio Mammoliti, who’s recently made headlines for … Read the rest

I need to come up with a new expanded version of TSA. Transport Security Administration no longer seems appropriate.
Actually, it stopped seeming appropriate about 6 months ago, but now it’s ridiculously so. And in clear “The public doesn’t need to know” fashion, every single one of these is propped up by the usual TSA denial of “We didn’t do anything wrong”, or “We don’t know what s/he’s talking … Read the rest

When in doubt, just do it yourself. Or, how about, not really.
I want to start this entry off with a comment like “Only in America.” or something to that affect, but I don’t even know anymore. Still, this one’s from California, so do with it what you will. A Glendale man decided, rather than wait for a date with the nearest … Read the rest

#TCNo
As anyone who’s anyone on Twitter knows, just about any and every link you throw on the site now, including links to posts on this site, gets automatically wrapped in their t.co shortener–yes, even if the link’s already been shortened. They announced the rollout in June, and as of … Read the rest

You’re guilty of piracy, whether you’re a pirate or not.
Reason number 874329701 why antipiracy laws 99.9% of the time don’t actually do a damn bit of, well, what they’re supposed to. Industry and political officials assume you’re guilty, even if you don’t actually know exactly what you’re supposed to be guilty of. Take a case in france, for example, … Read the rest
