Disappointment

So there I was.  I placed my order for a nice hot pile of steamed crap, only to discover that I had inadvertently ordered some kind of fish dish.  I’ll never eat at that restaurant again.
It’s sad, really.  One of the few good reasons to visit third world countries is to enjoy their garbled English.  […]

“Better Than The Original”

If something bad ever happens to me, remind me never to sue in a German court.
Now that I think of it, I can think of a few people who would be better off if you replaced their heads with a lump of plastic.

My New Goal in Life

Well, my new goal in life is, apparently, to make this site as ugly as possible.I think I’m doing pretty well so far.
The part I especially like is how people really like to be given credit for their design work (see bottom of page).

Least Likely Headline of the Day

I’m having a bit of trouble believing that this story isn’t a complete puton.

Sorry, but I call bullshit.

No, No, Never, No Way in Hell

Not even to save my life.  Not in a million years.Nobody, but nobody, is performing a bilateral orchidectomy on this cowboy.
There is no pain sufficient to make me consider this as an option.
Jesus!  I think virtually all men, from any culture around the globe, will exhibit exactly the same facial expression when they read that […]

Unmotivated

I’m wondering how I could be any less motivated in my work.  I thought I was unmotivated when they sold the company.  I was - in fact I was very unmotivated, but I had yet to plumb the depths of true unmotivation.
This past week, they handed out the layoff notices.  I got eight months’ notice.  […]
