I forgot to write this in the last post, but what in hell is with that voice on the subway commercials? I don’t know who the guy is, but he sounds like he should play a cartoon character. He talks pretty normal through the whole ad, until he gets to the slogan. Then he wigs …

Oh Mister Sub, Sub, Mister Broken Sub, Please Don’t Spill on Me!
Yes, I’m an idiot. But last night’s experience with Mr. Sub just had to be written down. It starts off fairly ordinarily, with a few weird things, but nothing overly bad. I phone, I order a sub. The girl doesn’t seem to know how to take an order down because as I’m giving my address, …

I Want Job Search Help, Not a Babysitter!
I hope this post will serve two purposes: let me vent like mad and help some other poor soul to avoid this shit so they don’t have to vent like mad. So off we go. A little while back, I started updating my resume and looking for work. I have a student debt hanging over …

Nooo! I don’t have the wrong number! Give me Bob!
Here I go again, babbling about wrong numbers. No, it’s not about what we say when someone else gets a wrong number, or people not listening to answering machines in people’s homes. This one happens very rarely, but it happens. I volunteer at a Distress line, a phone line that people phone when they’re upset, …

The Warbling Whore is Gone!
I can explain I can explain. I know at least one person besides Steve and I will know what I’m talking about. Have you ever fallen asleep with CTV on and been awakened with a horrible start by this horrible singing at 6 a.m. Something about…if the sun, doesn’t shine, to mo rooooo? I can’t …
The Return of the Gutless Wonder
I don’t know if anyone remembers my post about a girl aledging a police officer sexually assaulted her, not filing a formal complaint, bitching when the Special Investigations Unit didn’t come to her doorstep to take her statement and then practically convicting the guy she accused of assaulting her by throwing crap all over the …
Boobytrapped! Update
I realize that tomorrow, the original post about this will drift off the main page. So, here’s a link to it again. I got another email about it. They said they’d seriously look into why OCR software packages, packages that turn the printed word into text, thus into something the computer can read, demand the …
Thought Shake, Extra Thick
It’s random thoughts time again! Yep, here’s where I ramble about a bunch of crap that probably interests no one. The only difference is this one’s full of a bunch of disconnected thoughts. Since most of these random thoughts posts have titles about food, and I figured thoughts of soup or anything else would probably …
That Canadian Guy was Funny!
A while ago, Steve and I got tickets to go see Glen Foster, with the opening band the Black Roses. Well, the show was last night, and it was awesome. If you have a chance to see either of these two, you should go see them. Glen Foster was funny, but I knew he was …
USB Arms Race?
Earlier, we heard about the USB missile launcher. Now, with tensions mounting between east and west wings everywhere, someone just upped the firepower, or so it would seem. A device that is a USB hub when not being used to defend against the enemy looks amazingly like a nuclear missile launcher. We’re all doomed!
