A Slight Change in Wording

By jelewis8 ⋅ February 14, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

It’s time to say what is surely on the hearts, tips, tongues, lips, and toes of everyone who has encountered the shameful farce of Valentine’s Day:
Is Western Culture this desperate?
The answer, in case you want to skip the diatribe below, is yes. Congratulations. You may now go home and bump the mattress with your spouse [...]

The Thing About Colorado

By ⋅ September 12, 2007 ⋅ 3 comments

What is it about Colorado that gets me all hot and bothered? Is it the lovely Rocky Mountains and their Alpine jealousy? Is it the squeaky clean John Elway (not to be confused with Elton John) and his once thriving Broncos of Denver? Is it Boulder real estate and the mounds upon mounds of hippie [...]

LaGuardia Airport Is Terrible!

By jelewis8 ⋅ August 10, 2007 ⋅ 2 comments

For future travel planning purposes, here’s a helpful hint from Jeremiah and his lovely girlfriend Emily, who recently tried to travel to Roanoke out of New York by way of LaGuardia airport, via United.
Em’s original flight out was to have been 7:30pm on Thursday, but due to weather (Emily reported sky was clear at the [...]

2007 MTV Movie Awards – Part 2

By jelewis8 ⋅ June 6, 2007 ⋅ 3 comments

…Nothing moved for quite some time. In the blistering heat of the California sun, we, my ludicrously dressed and vapid companions for the afternoon, simply stood like saps next to the Gibson Amphitheatre, waiting for the call that would surely come. It must come. We had been summoned, like druids to a solstice, or soccer [...]

If you ever have occasion to go to an awards show put on by one of the many companies in Hollywood, including but not limited to the Oscars, the MTV Movie Awards, the Golden Globes, or Satan's Top Ten Celebrities of the Year Awards, here's a little advice I have to offer, based on my [...]

Damn Paypal

By jelewis8 ⋅ January 10, 2006 ⋅ Post a comment

Paypal is acting up, charging shipping for laptop donations (even though I specified no shipping). It seems to be inheriting Red State’s shipping charges, which makes no sense, because they’re individual forms with different options and costs. Nevertheless, Paypal is retarded.
If you are thinking of donating to my hard drive fund, just donate whatever you [...]

The Milk Lady Cometh

By jelewis8 ⋅ June 29, 2005 ⋅ 2 comments

I hope this lady has had nothing but whole milk to eat or drink, or her suit against the dairy industry for gaining 3 pounds is all but cow flop.
Wait, what am I saying? It’s cow flop regardless, since anyone with the merest tittle of sense knows that eating or drinking anything enough will cause [...]

He’s Just Not That Into You

By jelewis8 ⋅ May 10, 2005 ⋅ 10 comments

In the spirit of inciting a further increase in the gender gap (thanks to Lauren for showing the way), I’ve decided to write some additional points for “He’s Just Not That Into You”, which I don’t claim to have read, and probably wouldn’t even if given the chance. Note, these are more counter to the [...]

That’s A Fine How Do You Do

Via Beautiful Atrocities, I found HundredPercenter who has dumped the links for the following sites because they haven’t commented on, or have commented “negatively” on the Terri Schiavo (now) post mortem case:
A Small Victory
Beautiful Atrocities
Cox & Forkum
Digger’s Realm
INDC Journal
Instapundit
Little Green Footballs
Protein Wisdom
There’s a lesson in all this sore loser business: when you’re looking for a [...]
