Wow. Two random thought posts in one week? That doesn’t happen very often. Off we go. Last night, we were doing the old flip around the music channels thing again, aren’t we predictable? This time, what grabbed our attention was an English kids’ song. It sounded like that song “The Wheels on the Bus Go …

Things And Stuff
I have some random thoughts I’ve been meaning to write down. So here they are, in no particular order. The other day, that old song “Knock Three Times” came on. You know the one, “Knock three times on the ceiling if you want me, twice on the pipe if the answer is no.” this made …
Did They Do This On purpose?
Is it wrong that I think it’s funny that a story about illiteracy has a spelling error? I know it’s just one, but… Update: It appears they listened to me! No, they probably listened to other people who complained to them about the spelling error. Either way, it’s fixed, and I’ve been made to look …
Best Celler?
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 …
