Hey Comcast, Are You Listening?

Published on June 30, 2008

My buddy and I spent hours crawling and sweating in a 130 degree attic this weekend, wiring the house for cable. Why? Because the installer said, and I quote: “Sorry, man. I don’t crawl in attics.”
Fair enough. I knew to do the job right, I would have to do it myself. So after several false […]

Still, I was stupid enough to use my real contact information recently when filling out an online survey. Can you guess the effect it has had […]


Bill Belichick is a Wuss

I will start by saying that I have enjoyed watching the New England Patriots plow through such an excellent season. I’m a fan of Tom Brady and though he is wildly overrated, it’s still fun to watch such a talented quarterback in action.
The season would have been more enjoyable if coach Bell Belichick weren’t such a turd.

See the photocopied fortunes to the left? Those are from the fortune cookies a co-worker and I received after our lunch at the Golden Bird on Carlisle. Guess which one of us got screwed on the fortune?


Why are Musicians so Stupid?

Published on December 21, 2007

I posted an ad on Craig’s List, looking for a good, used classical guitar. 
Here’s the ad:
“I am looking for a good used classical/nylon stringed guitar. I’m not in the professional price range, so nothing in the $1,000 range…
… let me know what you have and how much you want for it. I am willing to […]

Fake “grass” is amusing.
Fake press conferences are both stupid and amusing.
