  • Email From My Wife

      Shoose, honey… If I am going to stumble into the bathroom early in the morning and be awakened to the glorious sights and smells of a quarter pound of pubic hair in the trash can and a toilet full of shit and dirty toilet paper, can you please let me know in advance? I’d…

  • My Friends as Songs

    I was just ready to go to bed, but then I had a thought how certain songs remind me of certain people. Like when I hear the song, I get a quick rememberence of them for whatever reason. It’s like it is their theme song whether they like it or not. I mean, it’s in…

  • Why I Don’t Read Your Blog

    Base your blog almost exclusively of links to other blogs. I love to spend time clicking around the earth. Configure your RSS feed to only show the first 16 words of your entry followed by an ellipsis (…). I hate having to read your blog in my RSS reader where all the other blogs are.…

  • Dinner with Bernard Parks

    So while we were eating dinner at some pseudo-dive garlic italian restaurant, some guy comes up to the table soliciting. I said “no thank you” not realizing who it was: Bernard Parks. He is some ex-police chief running for mayor of Los Angeles. So we talked to him for a bit. Pretty cool. That counts…

  • Lunch at the Ivy

    As we were walking into The Ivy, we saw Paula Abdul. We ate our lunch and then walked down Robertson for about an hour. When we came back to valet, I looked into The Ivy courtyard and saw Simon Cowell. I don’t bug celeb’s but I considered (for a moment) bugging him and telling him…

  • Holidays in Outlook

    I was going through all my old favorites and found this. I had wondered if I would ever find this again… Calendar-Updates is a download that does one thing: It sets the holidays in your Outlook calendar. It can also set the dates and times for your favorite sports teams. Simple, easy, painless, free.

  • CodeSmith Code Generation

    I had always had the need in the back of my head to write a Code Generation tool, but could never get around to it. I had found an early open source LLBLGen. I downloaded the code, and started to futz with it before I was forced to work on something else. About two months…

  • The Gates II, “The Crackers”

    I thought this was funny: Stolen from here.

  • Amazon Prime

    So I just signed up with Amazon Prime. Now I get free 2 day shipping on all orders and $4 per item for overnight orders. For $79, this may sound like no big deal, but it works out to be really cool. I just bought 3 books and told amazon to ship each one as…

  • Netflix Insults

    I thought it would be funny to make fun of my fat friend by sending Netflix suggestions to him of every movie I could think of with either “Fat”, “Food”, or a name of a food in the title. I thought it was pretty funny. He responded. Here is what he suggested to me: Pretty…
