TANcast

Behold a recent comment the TANcast podcast received that is chock-full of WIN…

I have been working a 5PM to 1AM shift at work as a temporary measure. Only 2 people in a 20,000 square foot building so it can get a bit quiet . Found your podcast on podcast alley and have been downloading it ever since. The job involves testing large amounts of PC boards and can get repetative, so listening to you guys helps keep me awake . Some of your twisted humor and comments just gets me to laughting out loud, but nobody is there to hear me. Since I started night shift, I have started to fart a lot more at work. ( due to diffrences in diet and just becasue I can) Now I can feel free to walk down the halls just tooting away whenever I feel the need. If you are able to really let one go without any holding back they really can have nice tones and echo a long way in an empty building. Guess when I have to go back to day shift my newfound farting freedoms will have to be curtailed a bit. That and the barking noises I make when I am letting my coworker know that its breaktime. Well…bye for now”

I don’t know which of you went to Podcast Alley and left this comment, but it (and you) ROCK!!!

Andy’s October of Suckage: Day 5

About two weeks ago, I finally used one of my Google Voice invitations and got an awesome phone number. In short, my feelings can be summed up as:

Free + Awesome = WIN ...

… but it could be better.

Andy’s October of Suckage: Day 4

My last two stupid recipes were delicacies that could be turned quickly and effortlessly into poo. Witness, dearest readers, a concoction that you can convert instead directly into shame. Consumed in sufficient quantity, you might even augment the shame by pooing on yourself, especially if you are lactose-intolerant.

I am merely lactose-prejudiced, so I encounter only the regular levels of aftershame.

Andy’s October of Suckage: Day 3

Note: I forgot to hit “Publish” before I went to bed last night. I have, as promised, socked myself in the left nut.

Maybe I didn’t notice this phenomenon as much in California, but it seems as if every other car in Georgia has some sort of signage (magnetic or otherwise) or paint-job (not poo-on-dick) that’s advertising the driver’s small business. In most cases these aren’t even company vehicles like delivery vans or work trucks; they’re just someone’s family car with a bunch of cheap stick-on lettering affixed to it.

On the one hand, I can’t help thinking “Jesus. These fucking eyesores are everywhere.” On the other hand, you  kind of have to hand it to these small business people. They clearly have a dream but not much budget, and they’re doing the best they can to boost business.

That said, I’d like to tell you all about a few that don’t seem to grasp certain nuances, namely that one should not drive around with one’s company name plastered all over one’s vehicle, then break the law in that vehicle.

Recently Grammar Girl did a podcast entitled “How to Write a Complaint Letter”(which yu can find on her website: http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/ and it got me thinkin’…

Long ago, when the halls of MySpace were filled with people, I wrote a pair of blogs about some complain letters that I wrote to my corporate nemesis Mervyn’s. I found them and shall reproduce them for you now. Not only do I not follow the advice given by Grammar Girl, I also break all kinds of grammar rules to boot (which I’m sure comes as no surprise if you’ve ever read my blogs before).

So here is the first letter I wrote to Mervyn’s:

Andy’s October of Suckage: Day 2

It’s a real First World Problem to have, but I am a 30-something suburban dad so this is the kind of shit I spend actual time thinking about.

Should I buy a Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3?

Make no mistake: I eventually plan on owning both consoles. The dilemma is simply which to buy first.

Earlier today I tweeted about a project. Here it is:

Andy’s October of Suckage: Day 1

Because I lack the ability to form original, meaningful thought, I am stealing Tim’s idea, like, whole. I’m just biting off him, completely shamelessly.

The only promise I make is that if I miss blogging at least once in any day in October I will punch myself in a testicle of my choice (the left one is getting uppity). Oh, and I’ll also try to be better about grammar and spelling than Tim was. Oh, and I’ll probably be less funny, more political. Oh, and I’ll do it while FUCKING YOUR MOM!!!

AAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!

Enjoy the suck.
