People are weird. This is my favorite story about the ‘scene‘ It doesn’t matter what scene it is or who is in it or what it’s about. It could be mac users ragging on PC users or star wars geeks…
(If memetics is going to claim to be the analogue of genetics, it’s got to be ready for a few harmful mutations every now and then. Luckily, in memetics, unlike genetics, you can purposefully mutate a meme. So seven instead…

Why do you hate visitors? Do you think we smell bad? Are we jerks? Do we take all of your jobs? Or do you just think we’re going to bring rabbits into you and watch them wreck havok? I know…
(boy, I wonder how that turns out) Is it possible for a blog to have too many features? I argue it’s not. Old-timey visitors (from the 1920s or even from just yesterday) will note a few spectacular changes on the…
People are like… permanent markers: the more you shoplift, the more likely your pants are to get written on. socks: because you wear them on the inside of shoes. clouds: they float in the sky and look fluffy, but they…
I need to rethink my naming of these daily posts. Frankly, I’m not seriously discussing June, the 27th OR 2007. But can you imagine if I did? Wouldn’t it be awesome? *scene: the Internet, you are reading another well-crafted blog…

I did this today for a non-profit organization, but since I’ve not been in a school system that had one of those old-timey bells (ever), I don’t actually know what it’s supposed to look like. This is as close as…
Damn it, the bastards at keithandthegirl.com (no hyperlink to you, jerks), ruined the last Harry Potter book for me. They said who dies and who kills who. Now I’m trying to unlearn the information with as much disinformation as I…

I have an idea. It’s a way to control the population, further intelligent reproduction and provide some quality entertainment. I call it the “Gay Ray.” The Gay Ray is a hand-held ray that has the power to change the sexuality…
Earlier this week, I was making a list of my talents, training and abilities when I realized that I was the world’s best clapper. That reminded me of the 19th century claques in France. From 150 to 170 years ago,…
