Andy’s October of Suckage: Day 17 I think I’ve been clear on my feelings towards attention-starved media whores. On October 15th, the world waited for a little boy to pop out of a balloon his pseudo-scientist (oops, the polite term is “amateur scientist”) father built, or else for him to die horribly so we could […]
Andy’s October of Suckage: Day 16 I had a stupid idea, but what the hell, TANcast is a stupid place. Maybe it’s even unique. I certainly haven’t found it documented anywhere yet, despite my attempts to find any mention. At any rate, if I thunk it up I get to name it and until I […]
Andy’s October of Suckage: Day 15 Blah blah, late post, socked nuts… I’ve been trying to locate a copy of a short story (~5000 words, I think) originally created for an English class back in 1998. I called it Paranoia, and it was essentially the diary of a madman. Thanks to Hotmail’s old “log in […]
Andy’s October of Suckage: Day 14 The following is an open letter to the National Rifle Association, inspired the events of this morning. Dear Pieces of Shit at the NRA: I received a call today on behalf of your organization from (703) 656-9940. I’m uncertain whether I spoke to one of your paid staffers, a […]
Andy’s October of Suckage: Day 13 I just wanted to share with you all something I said to my then-not-yet-wife one evening in early December 2005: Pink Meatstick of Death … Pink Meatstick of DEATH !!! Yeah, she didn’t get it either.
Andy’s October of Suckage: Day 12 Yeah, yeah, I know… This time it was a dick-punch. Long, long ago, back when (or before?) some of you were actually in diapers, I did some development work (wait, didn’t I claim to have been a banker?) in C, C++, and Smalltalk. Recent career shifts got me back […]
Andy’s October of Suckage: Day 11 Yes, I socked myself in the right nut and then backdated this post to Sunday. I finally watched Beowulf with the wife last night. In short, my impression was: Gaimam is a talented writer (and I guess so is Avery), Zemeckis still has a hard-on for creepy CGI, and […]
Andy’s October of Suckage: Day 10 It’s hard damn work being as seriously epic as I am. In size. Around the waist. It’s like the opposite of conditioning yourself for a marathon. I studiously avoid even casual levels of exertion. I vigilantly watch my diet, lest an errant green threaten to unclog arteries and intestines. […]
Andy’s October of Suckage: Day 9 This afternoon I was sitting at the computer, watching people with more active and interesting lives fail, when there was an unexpected friendly “shave-and-a-haircut” knock on my front door. I hopped up and, after a moment of frantic legs/pants battle and a quick check of my zipper, I waddled […]
Andy’s October of Suckage: Day 8 I just got a fireproof, waterproof external hard drive from ioSafe. Given the recent spate of end-of-days weather and my bout of terminal heathenism, I thought it best to be prepared. If they had one that was frog-, blood-, locust-, lightning bolt-, and zombie army-proof I’d probably have paid […]
