A Paradigm Shift in Pop Culture?

Why is this Susan Boyle person all over my internet?

When I say ‘my internet’, what I mean is that I am in the United States. Not Great Britain. The show on which she is a contestant is called “Britain’s Got Talent”. We already have “America’s Got Talent”, and it’s a pretty good show. Do they have the finalists from AGT On British television and all over England’s internet? Somehow I doubt it.

And it isn’t just the internet. I saw a spot about her on a promo for Access Hollywood or something like that. Enough is enough. She’s just a contestant on a TV show in a country on another continent. Why is she getting all of this coverage around here?

A Failed Attempt at Manliness

I am up there with your average accountant when it comes to the ability to solve problems mechanically. I’ve always had the resource of skilled technicians who were usually willing to work for beer, so it’s been rare for me to ever have to get my hands dirty myself and I tend to avoid doing so at all costs.

The motor fired up as expected. Satisfied, I began to mow. Then five seconds later, it goes cough, cough, bog down like it’s in really heavy wet grass, cough some more, stall.

‘A few bolts here, a few more there… this doesn’t look too difficult’, I thought to myself. I momentarily thought about taking it the lawn mower repair shop that is located about 1/2 mile from the house. No, I can handle this.

Classic Post: Craigslist Ad – Seeking a Crazy Chick

Hi. I am a guy in my 20’s looking for a girl who is certifiably bat-shit crazy. I know you’re out there!!!

I am just sick and tired of meeting all of these normal, regular girls with their own jobs and places to live and their own money and their own cars. There are just simply way too many levelheaded, smart, articulate women out there today and I am bored with their stability. I want a stalker dammit!!!

Women, Know Your Limits

A hilarious satirical spoof on misogyny.

Some More of My Favorite Forms of Self Amusement

Sometimes, in routine situations, you need to make your own fun. These are things that you too can try at home.

Pull Your Pud For Charity

It’s not often that I am seriously at a loss for words. It’s not that I think this is totally awesome, or that I think it is entirely gay. I don’t have much of an opinion except for wow. Just wow.

God’s Facebook Page

I don’t know if you’ve seen this or not – I just ran across it on some foreign language site. I figured that since my ticket to hell has long since been punched, I’ll throw it up here and let you heathens have a look at it. Sin vicariously through me.

Some More of My Favorite Myspace Survey Answers

Since the last post listing some obnoxious responses to myspace surveys proved to be pretty popular with readers (it might just have been that it included a picture of Yvonne Strahovski… who knows), here are some more of my humorous myspace survey answers

What if Beauty Didn’t Matter?

What if women in society were all considered universally and equally beautiful. To clarify – imagine that what is attractive to one man is exactly the same to another. Not that all women look exactly the same – however theoretically the same debate would apply.

How would it affect the rules of attraction? How about the rules of courtship and dating? What would happen to the shallow empty headed eye-candy who’s only qualities are aesthetic? Would they sink to the bottom of the female food chain?

This Guy Really Wants Out of Jury Duty

Honestly, there isn’t too much to say about this other than I think it is hilarious. This guy’s got some balls.
