  • So it’s not exactly PURE evil.

    This site is certified 41% EVIL by the Gematriculator

    I scored higher (as it were) than Lil’s blog, and in fact higher than most anyone else I know of so far. C’mon, see if you can beat me (as it were).

  • “He’s a giant chicken, I tell you!”

    Welcome to the new Memories section, where I write about things I really should have written about at the time but for some reason or other (that would be “laziness,” most of the time) I didn’t.

    Oh, and bonus points if anyone catches where I got this entry’s title. Heh.

    So. A while back, Lil’ and Geoffrey and I were at Freddy’s. I think it was so she could buy cosmetics, or some such. Geoff’ and I snarked a lot, as usual. Shortly before the end of the shopping trip, I spotted this:

    Well now. What have we here? It’s a giant chicken for sale!

    “It’s a duck,” Geoffrey insisted. I was, of course, mildly offended… mainly because that’s the worst excuse for a duck I’ve ever seen. Besides, it had a comb on its head. That makes it a chicken, right? We went back and forth about that for a few minutes without either being convinced of the other’s position.

    So he found the box it came in. Sure enough… that’s supposed to be a duck. Go figure, eh?

    What have we shown here, folks? Shopping with me is always bound to be a snark-filled experience! That, and apparently I can’t tell the difference between a giant inflatable duck and a giant inflatable chicken…

  • The culture of hating pop culture.

    You know those holier-than-thou folk who hate everything big and successful on general principles and who worship the most obscure personalities and brands?

    Yeah, okay. I was one of those too, once. But I’m in recovery. Anyway… read the following diatribe. Nuff said.

  • Upgrades, get your fresh hot upgrades!

    I just spent about half an hour upgrading this site from Monaural Jerk v0.5a3 to v0.5a4 without once disrupting service. How slick is that, eh? The only visible changes are the “Powered by” indicator and the updated RSS/RDF links. Everything else is just administrative geekery.

    Now that I’ve updated this site, it’s time to seriously think about getting one or two others upgraded…

  • Personal Warning Label

    Because Lil’ did it and then Dawn did it…

    Your Warning Label
    Name / Username
    Your Warning is Can cause sickness
    Your Life Expectancy Eternal
    This QuickKwiz by WolfySilver – Taken 3914 Times.

    Hmph. If I put in my first name, I get “Not suitable for those under 13.” Er, yeah.
