You know the old saying, “Sticks and stones can break my bones, but names, or words, will never hurt me?” If that’s true, then why is there all this political correctness bullshit? It’s always bothered me, because it doesn’t solve anything. Let’s think about this. Back in the old days, the actual technical terms, with …

In Case You Didn’t Know
I just got an email from someone who I thought knew better than to fall for this crap. He emails me and says, “Do you think this is real?” Below his excited message is one of these international lotto messages. Yeah, he won a million dollars and all he has to do is respond, give …
What Does Freedom-Fighter Mean to You?
No, this isn’t even remotely close to deep or political. The deepest it goes is, wow people are out of it in my town. There’s this weird coffee store near me. It’s kind of a cool place. There’s a grinder working all the time, and they get blends of coffee that are supposedly made in …
Confusion Square?
Well, the people in the city where I live sure know how to make things interesting. For some unknown reason that no one can agree on, they’ve decided to rip apart the main hub of downtown. Some say it’s to fix sewer pipes, some say it’s to put in phone lines, some just stare mystified …
Hope I Didn’t Jynx It
Wow the weather is psycho. I’d just started to think that spring was here to stay. I’d been saying to people, wow, I think spring is really here. We actually didn’t have too many return visits from Old Man Winter! Perhaps I said that too many times, because I woke up to a nasty surprise! …
What’s Up with That?
I’ve noticed lately when I hear commercials for dog and cat food, they talk about the taste. How it tastes better than ever, how it’s the best food ever taste-wise. My question is, how do they know? It’s not like you can ask fido or spot which food he likes better and get a definitive …
Old Songs and Being a Kid
When you were a kid, do you remember, along with the goofy kids’ songs you heard, you listened to your parents’ records? I know I did, some of them obsessively. I don’t even know why, I guess because mom and dad liked them. But I would even ask to listen to them! And now that …
Update on the Screaming Freak
Remember the other day when I wrote that crazy post about that guy who wouldn’t leave the bus unless he got his TV, oh so sorry, TV-VCR combo back that he left on the other bus? Remember when I thought he could have shot somebody? Well I wasn’t far off. My friend ran into him …
Let’s All Hope for My Neighbour!
Well, today I found out that what I was afraid of was happening. A long time ago, I heard that my neighbour had cancer, but that he had fought it off before, it had come back, and he was sure he would fight it again. It seemed that he was doing it. Then the doctors …
Holy Crap!
Well, here I go again, boring you with the mundane details of my life. But as I sit here, sort of studying, sort of daydreaming, the stunning realization hits me like a brick that just over 12 hours from now, I will have done all the work for my whole B.A! and provided that some …
