The positive: Bright House hires the handicapped. The negative: the put them to work installing your cable.

An update is in order.

After much ranting, much complaining, the rewiring of my entire house, new connections cut and made, a new cable box and countless strangers on my property, in my home and up my attic we come to find out that the reason why my cable has been intermittent at best for the [...]

Tits up.

I left Linens N Things (LNT) about a year ago because the company was becoming a chaotic mess that was slowly killing me. Manager bonuses were taken away, the store standards changed monthly and the punishment for non-compliance was always some path that quickly ended in termination. It felt like the company [...]

The movie, Memento (2000) -rent it, order it, do the Netflix thing. It’s a good, quirky flick.

“I AM IRONMAN!” Black Sabbath. ….Warning… This is a Class 5 Nerd Alert… Please proceed to your nearest Nerd Proof shelter, such as a baseball stadium, or a singles bar… Warning…

In my humble opinion, mired deeply in its nerdish roots such as it is, as well as being a huge comic fan, I must say that Iron Man is perhaps the best movie adaption of a comic book series ever made. Better than Spider-Man, better than Super Man, and better than Batman Begins (which [...]

I went to a ranch and all’s I got was this lousy whore!

HBO did an oddly informative mini-series about the Mustang Ranch, a whore house in Nevada that has been sanctioned by the state. The ladies charge somewhere upward of a $1000 for acts both strange and mundane. The ladies themselves ranged from odd (midgets, anyone?) to ugly to pretty darn hot. On the [...]

Gassed while going Number 2 (edit, now with a new ending!)

Save-A-Lot (sal) is tyring hard to shed its rough around the edges image as a discount grocery chain. Many of our customers assume we are somehow connected with Big Lots, I think the ‘Lot’ throws them, though the thought of selling surplus food (in the same way Big Lots sells overstocked name brand items) [...]

Do you have The Fever?

An additional note on purchasing music. The place we went to buy the music is Vynil Fever in Tampa. This is the quintessential, straight from some movie damn near idyllic music store; packed with every type of music, funny handwritten signs, an odd assortment of toys and crappola that you know some fat [...]

New music.

I finally got around to spending a gift card I got a Christmas. Here’s some of my new music choices:

Sun Kil Moon’s album, April. Very mellow and not good in large doses. It’s what I call ‘Ipod music’ -great music to throw into the mix, since every song is solid, just a [...]

You know what?!? I can’ tell you how much I hate the very idea of socialism..um.. what? Did you say $600? Hell, yes I’ll take it. If you’ll excuse me please, me and my irony drenched pride have some spending to do.

Socialism still sucks. And it bothers me to no end that we are all getting an ‘Economic Stimulus Check’. The government should be kept small and weak, not giving the IRS a renewed sense of job security. But luckily we have direct deposit, so I don’t have to actually see the check, [...]

cryptozoology: the study of creatures the sci-fi channel has made cheesy movies about.

I want to believe in Big Foot. Really bad. But the fact that we can’t find the corpse or skeleton of a 500+ pound creature discourages me a bit. That and the fact that there are 10,000 nutballs between here and Washington state willing to swear that their clump of hair; poop; [...]
