When Autocorrect Takes Over: Japanese Tragedy Edition

March 15, 2011 in Disasters

When things like this happen, what can you say?  You struggle for words, but you want to know more.  You search the internet for information, almost against your will, but compelled nonetheless.  What will more statistics really tell you?  How will knowing more and more help anyone, even yourself?  But you keep looking, searching, clicking on links your friends post.  Asking questions.  So many questions.  But are you asking the right questions? You run out of questions.

And then autocorrect thinks of another question.

The Super Bowl Half-Time Show And The Death Of America

February 7, 2011 in Disasters

God bless you, America. You know, I don’t normally mind your rockets red glare and shooty fighters flying over enormous advertising hoardings disguised as buildings housing yet more advertising disguised as a sporting occasion, but last night’s Super Bowl half-time show has really got me worried for America. No, it’s not the North Korean levels of “patriotism” on display. Nor is it the fat tranny who somehow broke into the stadium and screech-warbled through an ad-libbed version of “The Star Spangled Banner”. It was the half-time show.

It was truly fucking poor.

The Sad Death Of Galaxy

June 2, 2010 in Disasters

It is with great sorrow and much confusion that I have to announce the death of my beautiful black behemoth computer box “Galaxy”. Galaxy has served me – almost 24-7 – for over two years now. For some reason he gave up the ghost at 4.02am this morning, just as I was writing something about Fergie on Oprah.

The Guardian Gets Re-Design Seizures, Hates My Opinion

March 30, 2010 in Disasters

Oh, what to do when your favorite website gets infected by trendy-glasses-wearing shitbirds, who then do what trendy-glasses-wearing shitbirds do, which is shit all over everything because someone without any common sense has somehow paid them to shit all over it? And when that website solicits your opinion on the changes the shitbirds have made? Well, you give them your opinion. Unfortunately Pravda The Guardian didn’t enjoy my opinion, so they deleted it.

In The Dying Light And The Breaking Day

January 13, 2010 in Disasters

I felt it again.

Driving to work, eyes switching between the gas gauge and the road, fervently hoping I would make it to work with gas to spare to get home, with payday still two days away. On the radio, the reports of shock, damage, destruction, death, and people wandering the streets, screaming, crying, lonely, confused, hopeless.

Haiti.

That Adam Lambert Is A Total Fagatoni Which I Am OK With

January 11, 2010 in Disasters, television

Hey television-lookers – remember when that Adam Lambert fellow kissed a man on the television, and then sucked twenty cocks and rimmed a polar bear LIVE on the “American” Music Awards? I missed it, actually, because I don’t watch awards ceremonies FOR JUST THIS REASON. If I wanted to see some idiot suck twenty cocks and anally-pleasure a polar bear, I’d look out my own damned window where that shit happens daily, if not hourly.

$1,017.52: Elegy For A Car I Didn’t Think I Liked That Much

January 7, 2010 in Disasters

That’s what I still owe on my now-totaled car. Thankfully, the accident was not my fault. Last Thursday, while turning left at a green light, some idiot in a Ford F-150 ran her red light and destroyed me and my car.

Well, I’m not completely destroyed, obviously. More on that here.
