Charity wants people to lend a hand… The most striking part of this story to me isn’t that they’re holding a masturbate-a-thon, I’ve heard about a few of those before. What really gets me about this is that the event is being put on with the help of an HIV charity, and the article says …

What’s in A Name? Hopefully Not Cancer!
When you hear www.redgreen.com, or www.airfarce.com, where do you think they go? I think they go to Red Green’s website and the website for the Royal Canadian Air Farce, don’t you? Actually, I know they do. So, what would be the logical conclusion when you see www.cancer.ca? For me, I become frightened. I think that …

Me Talk Good, For Serious
First off I want to apologize for my lack of posts over the last few weeks. I can’t promise that things are going to get much better over the next little while because of Summer and circumstances, but come on, at least I’m being honest with you and making an attempt to appear as though …

Resume Mistakes
These are supposedly things that were actually written on resumes and cover letters. I love this sort of stuff. “I demand a salary commiserate with my extensive experience.” “I have lurnt WordPerfect 6.0 computor and spreadsheat progroms.” “Received a plague for Salesperson of the Year.” “Reason for leaving last job: Maturity leave.” “Wholly responsible for …

You Are Here
I really need to come up with an official name for this bit. If anybody has one, feel free to suggest it either on the comment boards or by email. It’s been a long time and a few people have asked about it so it’s time once again to make fun of people and the …
