Lady-Vi June 19th, 2001 @ 7:07 am PDT
The faq page at the site for Lady-Vi Cream has a wealth of information. Answers to questions like, “What is an Orgasm?” and tutorials, such as “How A Woman Achieves Orgasm” could make the whole “birds and the bees” conversation obsolete! I’d like to explode their web site. I visited the site for The Nobel […]
Feng Shui June 14th, 2001 @ 12:25 pm PDT
I’d like to tell you how cool fengshui.com is. But I can’t. Because instead of a useful resource on Feng Shui or anything worth visiting, there’s nothing at the site except some mindless doodles. How. Annoying. You’re much better served by a visit to Lillian Too if you want to learn about Feng Shui.
Crazy Elevators February 12th, 2001 @ 3:32 pm PDT
I work on the fourth floor of a six-story building. At six o’clock every night the elevators go into some wacky funky-logic mode. The two on the right will only travel between floors 6 – L (the Lobby) and the two on the left will only travel between the three underground parking levels and the […]

superpowers November 29th, 2000 @ 7:48 am PDT
Been thinking about super-powers lately. I think a pretty cool super power would be the ability to give anyone the hiccups just by touching them. Another good one would be the ability to stop time. Oh, sure. I know what some of you are thinking: If you could stop time you’d probably freeze the world […]
The English Language October 25th, 2000 @ 9:16 am PDT
I really get aggravated when people try to argue their way out of what are really meaningless mistakes by saying that the English language is flexible and there aren’t any hard and fast rules and who cares if they’ve spelled something incorrectly because it doesn’t matter as long as you get it and blah, blah, […]
Struck October 12th, 2000 @ 12:35 pm PDT
I took a class in early 20th century American literature while I was a student at the University of Florida. Every essay, book, or article we read struck someone somehow. I got so disgusted by students saying, “What struck me about …” or, “I was struck by …” that I wrote a response paper asking […]
Hate Me for This August 4th, 2000 @ 2:54 am PDT
A quick lesson on it’s versus its: it’s is a contraction of the two words “it” and “is”; if what you are trying to do is say, “it is,” and you want to do it without using that pesky middle i, use it’s its is possessive; try to think about how neurotic you would be […]
Sports Illustrated magazine subscription form July 29th, 2000 @ 10:52 pm PDT
It should not be anywhere near as ridiculously difficult to find the Change of Address form for Sports Illustrated as it was. It’s buried forever deep in the mass of poor web design that is the monster at CNNSI.com. I had to do a freaking text search for “change of address” before I could find […]
