ebay and paypal suck ass

Ebay and Paypal are complete fuckwits. Useless pieces of shit. No wonder their business is crumbling. I can’t wait for these ancient remnants of a the web long past to be gone forever. They should have collapsed with the rest of the first .com bubble bursting, but somehow survived, unchanged, for all these years. Garbage.
Simple […]

the love guru and the PG-ization of NYC

OK, so Mike Myers‘ The Love Guru was nearly universally panned by every critic in the business. It bombed this weekend at the box office, bringing in only $13.9 million. The only semi-positive review I could find came from Peter Rainer at the Christian Science Monitor (how ironic). My favorite negative review came from Harry […]

wet-wipe manifesto

In Dubai and all over the Middle East, most bathrooms are equipped with what I jokingly called the “ass nozzle”. It’s a hose coming out of the wall with a pistol grip water nozzle, similar to that found on the flexible hose next to your kitchen sink. It’s purpose, of course, is to help you […]

lindsay lohan proves something by posing nude

As most of you already know, Lindsay Lohan posed nude for New York Magazine this month in a tasteful recreation of some classic Marilyn Monroe photographs by Bert Stern in the 1960s. They even got him to do this shoot on the same set with Miss Lohan.

In doing this, Lindsay proved something to us all. […]

grocery frustration

Grocery shopping requires skills, patience, concentration, and agility unlike any other physical activity known to man. I wouldn’t be surprised if Grocery-X got added to the X-Games in the next few years.
Tonight after work I made an attempt to replenish my empty cupboards and acquire the ingredients for a simple DiClerico classic recipe. I’ll go […]

rock paper scissors

I’ve always though about where and how the game Rock Paper Scissors came from. I wish I thought about it enough to write the passage you are about to read.
I got this in an email today, as a attached image (weird). I’ve re-typed it here for your reading pleasure:

I understand how scissors can beat paper, […]

9/11 aftermath aftermath

Fuck you John. You are an ignorant piece of shit. If there ever is another 9/11 I hope your wife and children are at ground zero.

Right on Jon. Keep on telling it like it is. You’ve changed politics forever with your honesty and wit. But there is still a long way to go.

parking like Mad Max

I park in a back sandlot behind the office building everyday as does everyone else in company who is not “manager” level. Since I am only a consultant, I can’t park in the executive parking facility. So, I park with the bottom of the barrel retards. (No offense.) In this “parking lot” there is completely […]

sick

Warning: Very long post with lots of cursing.
I just spent the last two hours sobbing like a little girl while I watched a leaked BitTorrent copy of Michael Moore’s Sicko. I am a changed person, and there isn’t the least bit of humor in that statement for a change.
I am appalled, angry, sad, and sick […]

internet access gone to complete shit in dubai

Fucking Etisalat monopoly bullshit. I am so fucking tired of this motherfucking place.
So as you know Skype and Flickr, two very important sites to my internet well-being, have been blocked for months and months. Add to that a host of other random sites that would just make me rather happier, plus 90% of the bittorrent […]

complainer of the year

My long lost friend from Australia, Sally, still sends me funny emails even though she doesn’t write those long and powerful letters that she used to. I miss them, but to be honest, this one was a pretty good substitute. The following letter is one of the funniest things I have ever read, and I […]

domino’s

I’m not expert on entertainment or popular culture anymore. I haven’t seen a movie in months. I think Dr. Phil is the best show on television. He gives some seriously good advice, and because of him I am in more touch with my inner self than I have ever been before. I want to have […]
