Punday Night: Far Too Hot

Monday, July 31st, 2006

     Ladies and gentlemen, drumroll please! There are 7 working days left until GenCon! It (and my vacation along with it) cannot get here fast enough.
     From PunoftheDay:
     A businessman from Wisconsin went on a business trip to Louisiana. Upon arrival, he immediately plugged his laptop into the hotel room port and sent a short email back home [...]

End Times

Thursday, July 27th, 2006

     So, help me out here, folks. Exactly what kind of person, in what kind of mindset, do you have to be, to be happy that the world is soon to end? No, seriously. I mean, I know that many Christians believe that Jesus is going to return, yaddayadda, Rapture, Armageddon, blahblah, I’m familiar with the [...]

More About Dogs

Wednesday, July 26th, 2006

     I intend this post to be about two things: Dogs, and the Dog Whisperer, Cesar Millan. But first: Wow, has work sucked this week or what? I think I’m just about officially out of staff. I feel like they’ve been beating me up for nine hours a night over there. On top of that, after [...]

The Cultists

     Time for a trip in the Way-Back Machine –
     When I was a snot-nosed brat back in grade school, I had this friend, Shirley. She was a bit of a bully at times, but a decent enough friend. In fifth or sixth grade, she moved away, and became a pen pal, instead. We kept in touch [...]

Severe Thunderstorm Warning

Thursday, July 20th, 2006

     I was working at the Restaurant Monday night, fairly pleased, as it was mildly busy, and we had not been pooched quite as hard as I’d expected by the Health Inspector. Things were going well. I was standing up at the cash register, taking money, idly watching the weather through the picture windows at the [...]

Punday Night: A Quickie

Monday, July 17th, 2006

     I’ve just been informed that the local Health Inspector has shown up at the Restaurant, and, as I predicted, we’re getting a dick-in-the-butt from him. I warned them. Did they do anything? No. Did they let me do anything? No.
     Pffft. Anyhoo, now I’ve got to run, so here are a few quick puns (usual source) [...]

Dick the Cook

Wednesday, July 12th, 2006

     When I sit down to write a post, the first thing I usually ask myself is, “Do I even have anything intelligent to say, today?” More often than not, the answer is “No.” The coffee usually hasn’t kicked in yet, you see. Be that as it may, I soldier on.
     At the Restaurant, I have this [...]
