I don’t know how to feel about cellphone novels. My first gut reaction is ug! Apparently, in Japan, a lot of people are throwing together novels on their cellphones, in text message format, then somehow getting them published, and they’re selling like mad! Some of them are on the best-sellers list! If text message-llike writing …

Tell Me He Did Not Just Say That!
This is just funny. I never knew the closed captions were so inaccurate. Well, during the time of the Southern California fires, they really blew their comic relief load. I read about this in Snopes, but since the silly folk didn’t caption their picture, I couldn’t laugh along. Luckily, Randy Cassingham thought enough of us …
This Beats The Donzer Song Any Day
Oh my. I wish something like that could happen with our national anthem. I’m trying to think of what words someone could fuck up to make something nearly this amusing. Hmmm. Anybody got any ideas? Basically, Tony Henry, an English opera singer who spoke 0 Croatian, was askd to sing the Croatian national anthem at …
The Most Horriblest Song Of My Life
Ug. I heard a horrid song on the radio. This wouldn’t be all that special, there are lots of horrid songs on the radio. But this song made me want to kill its author. It was called Lonely Day, and System of a Down unleashed this attrocity on us. So why was this song so …
Yea! New Cover Letters!
A new batch of Cover Letters From Hell has found its way online, complete with misspelled words, hideous grammar, and my personal favourite, the guy who not only took the time to create a table detailing his likes and dislikes, but also decided to show off his comedic writing skills by making jokes about pictures …
Wacky Word Fact Of The Day
Irregardless, the almost universally hated bit of English that it is, is a real word that is recognized by more than one dictionary. But before you start thinking that all those people who ever called you stupid for using it are the dumb ones, consider that the dictionaries that list it actually all but tell …
Ths Ttl Hs N Vwls. S T Cl?
No, a cat didn’t just run across my keyboard. I did that on purpose. Can you even read that? It was supposed to be This title has no vowels. Is it cool? The Miami Downtown Development Authority, (DDA), who should be renamed DUH, decided that the new slogan for their downtown should have the o’s …
And While I’m Ragging On Rogers…
I’ve meant to write about this for a while now. Remember, in my last post, I talked about being able to get a little thing from rogers they called a treat. I ended up getting a ring tune, which is just a bit of somebody’s song that plays when your phone rings. I’m not uber …
Hello? Is This Thing On?
Writing this, I wonder if anyone’s still reading. We both screwed off for a good long time. 15 days? eek. Have we ever done that before? I’m too lazy to scroll through the archive and check. But I think it’s pretty rare. So rare that Ann Adams, the sweet lady that she is, wondered if …
Young Canada Works…to Be Confusing and Say the Same Thing in As Many Ways As Possible.
I always knew that anything to do with the government was full of redundancies and other unnecessary crap. But I had the point driven home this week. I decided to join this Young Canada Works thing and see about finding an internship through there. I was filling out their 12-step aplication and it was making …
