Oh dear lord. People, I got a parking ticket today. While parked IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE. Yes, it’s only a $20 ticket, but it was IN FRONT OF MY HOUSE. I apparently violated the law by parking with the driver’s side up against the curb, rather than the passenger side. Apparently this is a [...]

Evil Commute
The news says: “Gas is so expensive!” My wallet says: “Gas is so expensive!” So I says: “Today I shall take metro!” Normal commute time: 2 hrs Today’s commute time: 5 hrs How much longer than normal was my commute? 250%.

PayPal Premier Account
Once again I have a premier account with PayPal. Those fuckers will screw you over any way they can. In order to accept credit card payments, you have two choices: upgrade to Premier and be charged 2.9% + $0.30 per transaction, OR maintain your Personal account, pay a higher fee to receive the money, but [...]

Unbelievable Question
I am offended by the last question on my final exam for ASL/Deaf Studies class. In summary, it says that we should be opposed to the UK’s Fertilization and Embryology bill, and we should pretend we are giving a presentation to the House of Lords on why it should be canceled. We are to use [...]
I Hate Hollister
Added 3/23/09: Closing comments because nobody will ever top Maribel. Added 4/14/10: Reopened for more funnies. I hate Hollister. And Aeropostale. And Abercrombie & Fitch. And all the other brands that jack up prices on ordinary items just because their name is on them. Hollister is the current fad from what I can tell (did [...]
Fernandes Returning to Gallaudet
I am posting in response to this press release regarding the connection between Jane Fernandes and Joseph Mesa. People, repeat after me. Jane Fernandes is not the devil. Jane Fernandes is not the devil. JANE FERNANDES IS NOT THE DEVIL. Seriously. Ever since it was announced that she is returning to teach at Gallaudet, the [...]
