I’m Going to Refinance, and I Don’t Know Why
I’m going to be honest, I hadn’t actually thought about taking advantage of ”Obama’s Refinance Plan.” But now I just might.
I Thought a Live Performance Required People
The Who played at the Super Bowl. They sounded fine or great. Whichever. Considering all the keyboard/synth parts, which is a fair amount of their music, probably came from a MIDI track, the three live instruments (Guitar, Vocals, Drums… was there a bassist even there?) sounded fine. Roger Daltry sounded fine. He’s old. He’s not [...]
Not Sure if it was the Sea Salt or the Vinegar
I don’t know if you’re thinking about eating an entire bag of these in one sitting, but I’d recommend not. My tongue hates me. I can only taste water.
Obama Ties Shoes; Conservatives Pissed!
There are several ways to debate issues.
1. You debate the issue. Is the Public Option socialist or not/will it get the job done or not. For example.
2. You debate how you debate the issue: Should we act like under-educated screaming lunatics at public forums, or should we behave with passion yet civility and focus on [...]
New Propel “Berry”
It’s a non-specific explosion-like of flavorishness in every glass.
I really want to reference Jon Voight
I’ve really felt like referencing Jon Voight all day. But how does one reference Jon Voight? Sure you can wait until someone does something particularly Jon Voight, at which time you would say “Way to go Jon Voight.” But how often does someone do something particularly Jon Voight? Oh I could wait for a moment [...]
Adult Kiss (Kinda NSFW)
I know it’s on YouTube – but there’s just something gross about animated characters making out.
And then the end? I don’t know what’s going on…
Why don’t people do this to their houses anymore?
I drove right past this house on my way to work this morning (thank God for Google Maps, otherwise, I wouldn’t have a picture!), and I have to admit – I love it. Why doesn’t anyone put fake Venus deMilo’s and ceramic buffalo and Yodas and shit in their yards anymore? It’s a [...]
A note to guys walking into a public restroom…
Wait until you are standing AT the urinal before you start unzipping your fly. While I’m washing my hands, I don’t want to turn to my right to see you strolling in, one hand on the zipper, the second hand already pulling your junk out as you approach. That’s just disgusting.
That is all.
Compare-Everything-to-Hitler Day
While watching the news coverage on the murder of George Tiller I couldn’t help but note how often he was compared by his critics to Adolph Hitler. He, of course, was not Hitler. Because no matter what someone’s done – Hitler was worse. He’s the one asshole we can all agree on. So it always [...]
In response to the topic of bathroom attendants
With all this talk of bathroom attendants, I present a picture I took during my brief stint working the Fair Circuit in the summer of 2006.
Paper towel?
Granulated soap? Freshen up your urinal cake? Tips optional?
Elusive, Shifty Hooters Hoosiers
A drive through northern Indiana produces a lot of very expected scenery: barns, silos, corn & soy bean fields, half-standing barns, semi-trucks, American-made cars. It’s actually not a bad drive. There are a plethora of bumper stickers celebrating cold dead hands, but the scenery is otherwise very pretty. Especially fall through spring. Big trees, rolling [...]
This is how bad America’s “Coffee Obsession” is…
Burrito Beach is now in the game. Apparently, they are a great place to only pick up some carnitas, but also a nice triple-froth-decaf-vanilla latte with a steam-top.
I don’t know what that drink is, but I have heard something eerily similar to that list of nouns and adjectives be ordered by someone ahead of [...]
The Flu Marketers Have Heard My Cry
I don’t want to make a big deal out of this, but apparently a major world health organization is a frequent reader of Schadenfreude.net. I’m not saying who, but just trust me on this one.
The good news is that they’ve listened to us, and are finding it necessary to change the name of swine flu.
Flu Needs New Marketing
Flu is unpleasant for sure, and yes it sometimes kills people. But I think one of the biggest problems concerning the flu is the inappropriate response to it. People seem to go one of two ways on this. They either freak out, buy duct tape and stay inside the house for a week, or they [...]
So here’s the Rail Club story.
So as many of you may know, I came away from my weeklong trip to Chicago with a pretty funny getting-picked-up-at-a-bar story.
So Justin and I did Talkin’ Funny, with bad-sport Steve Gadlin and were looking for somewhere to watch the end of the Bulls game. For me, this is a combo of two things that [...]
Yay God 1, er Won, I mean…
Today I saw a license plate that said “Yay God 1.” I wasn’t immediately sure what it could have meant, but after some thinking, I have some ideas. It could have been like “Yay! God Won! People counted him/her down and out, but s/he came back and did it! If a half-footed kicker from New [...]
Have you ever noticed?
Have you ever noticed that no movie with Terence Stamp in it can be all that bad?
Is it OK to be a Pittsburgh Pirates fan yet?
Just wondering. Because I have noticed that the news surrounding “pirates” has died down a bit. Don’t know if that’s because of Obama’s handling of the situation, or because America has reached the “10-Day Deadening” – where, 10 days after a news story breaks, people stop caring.
I just think they let a captain [...]
Yeah, I Subscribe to the Daily Victoria’s Secret Email
It’s like getting a little pick-me-up every morning. And it’s SFW, and socially acceptable. How else am I supposed to pick out something nice for my wife if I don’t do a little “market research”?
Sue me.
A reason to not see Pink Panther 2 you hadn’t thought of
I’ve loved Steve Martin for years. I believe the years were 1977 to 1991. I’ve seen the trailers for Pink Panther 2 and all I can tell from them is that I was supposed to love some catchphrase about a hamburger from the first one. I added my “PASS!” to the pile and moved on, but Roommate [...]
I swe@r, I’m not @ doucheb@g
Just a heads up, if anyone receives a text message from me in which I use “@” instead of “A.” It’s not because I’m hip, it’s because the “A” is actually broken on my phone, making it impossible to tell anyone in a text that the “A” is broken on my phone. But it would [...]
