Friday Fun: What’s in a Cat?
Proof that God has a sense of humor is that he created cats.
We share our apartment with a sleek, black cat, whom we call “Tessie,” a high-strung Burmese (or something thereabouts). I call her my Spooky Cat, because she has always been terrified of any living creature, and a few dead ones.
When we went to [...]
Friday Fun: Making Fun of FedEx

… or, “So I didn’t actually expect to get my package, did I?”
My cell phone died earlier this week. In technical terms, the charger-connector-thingee broke. And that means I no longer have a working phone. Therefore, I am dying of loneliness, because I have been cut [...]
Friday Fun: A Well-Run Household
Today, I have a guest post from humorist Kevin Cummings, who graciously is allowing me to poke, stab, put him under a microscope, and otherwise enhance his discomfort in an upcoming interview at bethestory.com, all to promote his new book, Happily Domesticated.
(So you can see what he gets out of it. The pleasure I get [...]
Computer Upgrades Cost Lives
Or at least they cost life. That is, they suck time from my life, because they seriously disrupt my life, and keep me from getting much of anything done, including writing blog posts. One of my Facebook friends even asked me how I was doing, I had disappeared for so long!
So, my dad was nice [...]
Friday Fun: Looking for Smart Software Developers
A lot of companies were looking for Drupal and WordPress consultants this week, and you know what that means: another batch of funny job ads! No, really, I’m really excited about this week’s funny job ads, and I think you’ll agree. Because who doesn’t just LOVE funny job ads?!
Like this real-life job ad from CraigsList, [...]
:-p :^) to Prospective Employers
This is a funny blog post. Really. Just hang on. I’m sure it will get funnier as I get snarkier. (By the way, how come my spellchecker doesn’t know the word snarkier?)
I actually wasn’t going to post anything for Wishcasting Wednesday today (which by now is actually yesterday, since it’s now half past midnight). I [...]
Gilmores, Blocks, and Judging a Book by Its Cover
Recently, a friend commented on her little one’s first day of school. Must have been preschool. The little tyke was so excited, she was up and ready by 8:15 in the morning.
For me, though, this week, the Missus is on staycation (except 2 mornings she needs to go in and catch up on work—she’s salaried), [...]
Friday Fun: 11 Thoughts on the Love Boat
Earlier this week, I tweeted, “Yippee! NetFlix is shipping me the new Love Boat DVD’s today! (Yeah, I like The Love Boat. So sue me! <g>)”
To that Robin (aka @Tuphlos) retorted, “I’m suing you for putting that theme song into my head.”
No need for a lawsuit, Robin! (By the way, did I mention how pretty [...]
So THIS Is Why I Can’t Find Work
I hope you get as big a kick out of this as I did. Here are a couple of recent craigslist ads I did not reply to. I mean, yeah, there’s getting work just to make money. But then, there’s getting work just so you can make fun of your new client.
So, maybe I might [...]
Groped in Good Taste
Jeremy Brooks, looking surprised
A quick anecdote…
Jim “Suldog” Sullivan’s post today about being groped by a woman (and then later, by a drunk man), it reminded me of a “groping” anecdote of my own, one that interestingly didn’t make it into the Love-Idiot book.
I went rollerskating with some friends, in particular, a girl I knew, who [...]
