An eye for a joke

I caught a plagiarist yesterday. A paid, local columnist (and retired journalist, no less), who included a list of things to do to pass the time while in Wal-Mart: When a guy goes to Wal-Mart with his wife, he has…

Please do not kill me oh nerdlingers

So I looked through a few fantasy novels the other day at my girlfriend’s place. She’s a lovely girl: beautiful, smart, funny, talented and well read. I can only assume that fantasy novels were the closest thing to crack she…

Could it be??

Is that horrible, horrible error message finally off my page? And I only had to delete all of my site statistics and forgo the possibility of storing any more, ever? I have only one thing to say: “Par-tay!!!” (this message…

Must be all the extra motherly attention

This is, literally, right off the wire: Men with older brothers more likely to be gay WASHINGTON (AP) — All that testosterone doesn’t necessarily make a man straight. In fact, having several older brothers increases the likelihood of a man…

It’s a joke, just not in your language

Book this joint!

I found a place to use the internet and hang around when I have nothing to do. What is beautiful is that nobody comes around to clean and look at me funny, nobody expects me to do “work,” nobody even…

*Chomp!*

Why am I a vegetarian again? I don’t know if I remember the original reason, nor do I have any reasons of my own left.. I ordered a bean burrito just now at the local taco box (I laughed at…

The Pixatic method saves again!

Scene: Pixel designs a “National Roundup” page with news from all over the country. Because the wire isn’t so discriminatory, one of the stories is about Iraq and troubles in Baghdad. Pixel doesn’t think much of it and prints the…

Bootcamp for journalists

Dial. Up. is.. soo…. S-L-O-W

I’m back at home for a day or so, using my mum’s internet and– jeez! I could bake a cake in the time it takes to search Quark’s forums. I think I’ll just go back and use the free high-speed…

I’ve decided not to have a birthday this year. Perhaps I’ll decide to turn 21 next year. Getting old is overrated anyway.

It ain’t calculus

I’m using the free internet at Arby’s when I get hungry and decide to get some fries and a drink. I go up to the counter and order. The total is $5.11, I hand her a $20, a nickel ($.05),…

These ads are so gay

So I created a new Myspace. (www.myspace.com) Now, I hate myspace, so I didn’t feel like redoing my profile. Instead, I decided to let all my friends do it. I posted my e-mail address and password on my blog and…

Bipedal

(This is from an e-mail I sent some months ago. I’d hoped to be able to use it later, but have yet to find a place for it, so enjoy.) So I decided to buy a bike in the vain…
