The Economics of Idiocy

It used to be that if you wanted a soda on campus you needed to have cash on hand. If you found yourself cashless, you’d have to find an ATM and pay a transaction fee that would double the price of your soda or go to the campus convenience store.
Those days are over. Now, 90% [...]

The Doctor Has Taken My Manhood

If you’re a little light in the pants today and have taken a trip to Kinsasha lately, you might wanna be worried.

Hallway Oddities

Crazy busy this week, so not much time to post. BUT, some dude just walked up to my door and took a picture of it with his cell phone camera. Possible explanations? I’m thinking he is going to case the joint. I hope he likes books on sub-national politics, slightly melted Christmas themed candy, and blue [...]

El Numero Wrongo

Some guy decides to call me as I’m enjoying a healthy hearty meal at Denny’s and babble at me in Spanish.  I kindly inform him he’s got the wrong number which elicits a forceful reply of “Que?”.  Being the gentleman that I am, I informed the guy his tone was unnecessary and unwelcome by promptly [...]

Freakin’ Wankers: Way to Ruin Love Day Edition

There are many things I am grateful for, the greatest being my wife. We click and connect like LEGO bricks forming a tapestry of awesome.  When she asked me several times if we were doing anything for Valentime’s day, I left it at a shrug and an “I don’t know” and hoped that she [...]

Freakin’ Wankers: School Bus Edition

As I was waiting for the Metro bus to bring me home, I heard this little conversation as someone entered one of the campus buses.
Girl: Does this bus go to the (cafeteria)?
Driver: Uh, yeah, but… that’s just behind that other building. It’s like a two minute walk.
Girl: And?
Driver: I just came from there. It’s going [...]

Wave of (Pizza) Mutilation

Life has grown stagnant.
Wake up, go to job, come home, do something productive or be lazy there, gripe about showering and shaving, go to sleep. Interruptions to said schedule take place on Wednesdays for Church and the obligatory hanging out afterwards and on weekends.
A-n-y-way, it seems we have attracted an imitator (though I prefer [...]

Freakin’ Wankers: The Game Stops Here Edition

I know that ranting about Gamestop on the internet is so cliche that referring to it has now become a cliche.  Nevertheless, I shall cliche myself in order to provide you with entertainment.
Maybe you’ve heard of this problem already, but I’ve had far too many experiences lately to not want to rant about this.
Walk into [...]

Update: Wal-Mart Wankers

Turns out Wal-Mart, while still being wankers, are not quite the wankers I thought they were. I received this email tonight concerning the cancelled order.
We apologize for our recent video game pricing error and the incorrect information included in our follow up e-mail correspondence with you.
As we are always striving to provide a positive customer [...]

Freakin’ Wankers: Help me, OLGA Edition

How can the OLGA (On-Line Guitar Archive) be down?  This was the place that I went to when I needed to learn how to play a song without having to listen to it over and over again just to figure out what obscure chord some musician decided to employ.  Was it E#m9 or DbAug.6?  Now [...]
