I’d rather give to the dump than the needy.

If you’ve ever dropped something off at the Salvation Army, given donations to a clothing drive, or given anything to Goodwill, you’re probably a thoughtless dickface.
But it’s not your fault.
Somewhere along the way, someone thought of the “thrift store”, a store that sells used things people donate or sell to the store very cheaply, so [...]

UP! Syndrome

 
With the recent discussion of retards, and hit pop song “Let’s Get Retarded!” in the minds of Middle America, I had an idea.  The word retarded has to go. This point was brought up to me by a friend, and after thinking it over, I realized that YES, people with various mental handicaps are given [...]

Happy Anniversary~!

In case you didn’t know, September 19th is Adam West’s birthday. And before any of you point out that I made an effort to inform the internet that it’s a C-List celebrity’s birthday, let’s consider that he’s accomplished more than all of us put together while wearing a Halloween costume with eyebrows painted on it.

Now, [...]

Ye Olde Melting Pot

Convenience Stores aren’t very convenient. I think it’s fair to say that every time I stop at one to look for something specific, they have everything but. They never have a Sobe Citrus when I want one, and they never have Raisinets when I want some. And I’ve long since theorized that this is all [...]

How NOT to Get a Ticket.

I got pulled over by la policía today (that’s the police to us Anglo-Saxons), and I pretty much ran a red light blatantly. And the registration card I handed to the officer(s) was out of date, and it turns out that I’d lost my current one. And, I managed to get merely a warning. [...]

“Take that, Lisa’s beliefs!”

I like meat. In case you didn’t know, animals taste great, especially with seasoning and various sauces. I’m not a zoologist (and FYI: studying zoology is basically playing Pokemon all day, but that’s another blog entry), but I’d have to theorize that that’s no accident. And, to all you scientists out there, my [...]

Moral Restraint… or Lack Thereof

I understand that a lot of people who work in my building have different personalities. I also understand they come from many different backgrounds. What I don’t understand, are the people who wear t-shirts to work, say words like “compooter”, and who clutch various body parts for dramatic effect.
I mention the last one, because [...]

How to Jerk Your Way to the Top

Being abrasive is a skill, not unlike woodworking, cobbling, or plumbing. Being abrasive, of course, like many things, comes naturally or with lots of hard work. And, like many people, those who have the natural gift of abrasiveness fail to fully appreciate their gift. Or they’re just assholes. Or both.
Being abrasive will get you far [...]
