Breakup Letter

I have no idea if this is true, or yet another urban legend, but really, who cares?

Friends, Some of you may remember by ex-girlfriend Sarah. I recently recieved a letter from her. I would appreciate [...]

Lame Duck

On Monday I put in my “2 weeks”. I’ll be changing jobs – going back to working for a software company, no longer working for the man. It should be a good change, though there will be adjustment. I’ve gotten quite used to this whole government worker deal. It’s great to [...]

Plant Police

A friend forwarded me an email about the new plant policy in her office. Apparently non-profit organizations have enough money in the budget to worry about their office plants.
Effective Monday, June 20, 2005 we will have a plant service. This means you may not water any plants.
For the few of you that have [...]

Disney Kills Kids

So now Disney World is killing kids.

My soda smells like pee

One of my co-workers bought a soda (specifically a diet coke) out of the vending machine this morning. As he began drinking it, he realized that he smelled the stench of urine. Apparently the soda tastes normal, but the bottle and the cap (it’s a plastic 20oz bottle) both smell like a homeless [...]

Seat 29E

Found this on chrisdiclerico.com – a 4 page complaint letter from some poor guy who got stuck next to the bathroom on a flight. So funny and so true.

The Submarine

Read an article about how PR firms are running the world by Paul Graham. The whole ‘Symbiosis’ paragraph in the essay is a bit scary. How readily do we accept “facts” because they come from the TV or other media outlets? After reading this, and watching EPIC 2014 I wonder how much [...]

Rasta found

Well, Felix found the RASTA Archive posted by UVM. Apparently they thought it necessary to archive all the past years of the class. Personally, I’m amazed the class has been going this long, and they bothered to archive everything back to 1996. Well, good for them. I think I’ll still [...]

Grab Some Ass, but stay away from Hippies, cause they’re not that , cool.

I don’t like Hippies.
They make me sick… Literally, they make me feel nausiated.
They smell funny. They talk funny, and like, say “like”, like a lot.
Some of them have “dread-locks.” Dread-locks are dirty pieces of thick,
knotted, hair. Caucasian hippies have to let their hair get extra funky
before it starts to “dread.”
Hippies practice prejudism.
They are [...]
