Need a hero.

I saw the new Batman movie this weekend. It was really good, although, Christian Bale seemed like his bat mask either needed better nose holes or the inside of the mask smelled. The hype was pretty accurate and The Joker was the best part of the whole movie.
 
I’ve decided that these are the heroes I [...]


Au

Gold is supposed to be a smart investment. Supposedly if the economy were to ever crumble, you could count on gold to still have value. I don’t quite see how that works. I mean, sure gold has been viewed as valuable since the time of kings and pirates, but does that mean it would still [...]


Rambling.

I asked some friends a few days ago the following question:
 
If aliens from outer space landed and began to live among us, how many generations would go by before it was not big deal?
 
Does anyone else find it interesting how quickly we seem to adapt to new things so quickly? Television, cars, and velcro are [...]


Inconsistent complainers.

Listen to enough talk radio and you’ll eventually hear someone talk about how the founding fathers never intended for these career politicians that we have now. They’ll say how our leaders are supposed to rise out of obscurity, lead, then go back to obscurity. Oddly enough, these are the very same people who will say [...]


Knowing when.

One of the reasons I don’t like internet communities is that they’re called “internet communities”. Another reason is the people who don’t know that they don’t need to hit reply. Here’s an example:
 
Question: I’m going on this new medication called Vivance because I am having problems sleeping with Adderall. Anyone have any experience with Vivance? [...]


Cable

I was going over my cable bill once and was stunned to see that I was being charged for having a remote for the cable box. I have digital cable and if I’m going to use all of the functions that it provides, I need to have the remote.
 
It’s like going to a restaurant and [...]


Flame Broiled

If you’re ever by the Empire State Building, I recommend paying a visit to the Burger King one block south. This is perhaps the worst example of fast food service you will ever witness. Part of the insanity is that it’s not like they have a drive thru to worry about along with the walk [...]


Get outta here kid. Ya bother me.

It’s amazing to me how the world has changed with the spread of information.
 
I was in the park not to long ago with my son and we were on the swings when a little boy came up and made a few attempts at climbing into an empty swing. He looked up at me as if [...]


Calling Long Island

 
Lunatic Radio, an internet radio show that is nice enough to have me as a part of it, is doing a live broadcast Sunday, July 27 from Blush, a strip club in Commack Long Island. The event starts at 4pm.
 
We really want to pack this place out, so if you live close enough to Long Island and [...]


Eww? You racist!

Toddlers who say “yuck” when given flavorful foreign food may be exhibiting racist behavior, a British government-sponsored organization says.
 
You’d expect a headline like that from The Onion. Sadly, that is for real. I’m sure this will make it’s way to the United States in a couple of years. I suppose it will also go on [...]
