Go Figure

I’m done with my thinking
I came up with none
I’m tired of playing a pensive philosopher of life
‘Don’t want to fully understand it
I just want to scream and laugh and dance in glee.
I read volumes and scores of books
To get a grip on the sufferings of man
Yet none got me anywhere,
I start to yawn
And dream of […]

[Not So] Outgoing Mail

I am currently perplexed by the concept of outgoing mail. I mean, I understand it in theory, but today I tried talking to it and it didn’t even respond. What’s so outgoing about that? I think it needs to be renamed “shy mail” or “introverted mail”. And besides, the reason a lot of people send […]

Language Confusion: Oh, Oh!

Oscar Wilde said, “The Americans are identical to the British in all respects except of course language.” Going to other countries can make for amusing language confusion.
If you go to the UK and tell a Brit that you’ve been watching the boob tube (U.S. television) it would raise a completely wrong image. In the UK, […]

Living in Victoria, BC (Canada) has a few perks.

Ebony and Greenery

Bell had followed him home. After a night of forty year old
leaches in polyester groping her through thick clouds of stale
cigar smoke at the Howard Johnson on route 60, she followed this
tall stranger home. She was on business travelling for this
dot.com company that was about to fold at any moment. She was
reduced from nights at […]

Politically Correct Christmas Carols and Holiday Songs

Christmas Carols and Holiday Songs tend to exclude, marginalize and insult. Henceforth these songs will be re-written with new titles to avoid any real, imagined or perceived offense.
The word Christmas is exclusive to Christians and must be removed. Since it cannot be replaced with the word “holiday” (Holy Day) we will replace it with the […]

The Sad Truth About the Most Viewed Ezine Articles

Having written a number of humorous and political ezine articles to kind of get my feet wet in this new frontier, I decided to see what other subjects are most often viewed. I’m inquisitive that way; besides, it might give me a hint as to what to write about if I want to inflate “my […]

The Hidden Driveway

I won’t lie: there are a lot of things I want in life, and some of them I’d even pay for. Rather than listing them in some aimless order so that I can feel bad about not having these things, I will instead focus on one thing that is actually attainable: a hidden driveway…
I’ve […]

Real Men Love Jesus; Why is he Gay?

Perhaps you have seen that bumper sticker that says; Real men love Jesus! I suppose that bumper sticker is relevant to someone who is a religious freak, however if you read and think about what that bumper sticker says it is rather morbid. It is suggesting men should screw a corpse of the 2000-year-old […]

Enron Trial Goes To Jury; Ken Lay Doesn’t Notice

The trial of the defendants in the collapse of Enron went to the jury, but it seems that Ken Lay, the chairman and principal defendant, didn’t notice.
A reporter asked him how such an important event escaped his attention.
“Well, to tell you the truth,” Mr. Lay said, “I hardly ever notice anything. I mean, I didn’t […]
