I think my favorite swear to call somebody is "shithead". I don't know why, It makes me laugh, the idea of it.

Happy St Patrick's Day. Truly a "great day fer da Oirish" as the newscasters all say during telecasts of the parade. In high school (more than a few moons ago) I started dating a fine Irish lass on St Patrick's Day (in 1990!) named Erin and found no end to the hilarity of saying "Erin Go Braless" over and over again. This is yet another...

Just saw the new Hulk trailer. Ed Norton is spot-on casting. It looks like they went more commercial than Ang Lee's attempt (which was flawed but had lots of great stuff in it). I need to see it properly (not on a choppy internet screen) but I am looking forward to it quite a bit now. As much as I make fun of Hollywood formula...

I wrote a whole diatribe about how modern video games bore the shit out of me, but went back and edited it out.

I do hate video games, though, at least since about 1994.

I now know three people who are in an (unbeknownst to them) race to severe imminent illness and/or possible death. That scares me, but when one, or possibly all three, succumb to illness brought about by addiction, I will not be very surprised.

How about no more movies about hitmen? While were on the subject, how about no more movie remakes based on Japanese/Korean/Hong Kong horror movies?

Which begs the question, why pay for cable every month? Is television that bad or am I just really picky? I like watching some TV shows once they...

It's pretty funny to me to see how many of the Groups on this site have fairly strict membership requirements. As if joining a Plus Sized Women chat group should have some sort of entrance requirements, like getting an auto loan or applying for a work visa or something like the same. I imagine there is a reason, but it seems to me to be...

Something "ironic" has happened since my last post. Not to me, I must stress. But to somebody else. Very weird and upsetting. Liquor is pretty bad, evidently.

OK. What is the deal with the young people? When I was in my early twenties we didn't have such a proliferation of energy drinks, powders, foods, etc. Why are younger people so damn lethargic? If you go...

Depending on how you look at it, today, right now is either Sunday Night still or Monday Morning. I am of the mind that when you go to sleep it is still the night and when you wake in the morning, it becomes the morning of the next day. So at 12:00AM it doesn't "really" mean the next day has started. Only technically.
