I should have written this up a few months ago when I found out about it, but since I’m a lazy hack, I just never got around to it. Advertising agency Killian & Company has a hilarious section on its website called Cover Letters from Hell that features, well, cover letters from hell. The link …

Like a Kid in a Candy Shoppe!
This is going to be the weirdest post ever. On second thought, that’s a tall order, writing the weirdest post ever. What would this post have to top to get that award? I’m not sure. That’s a hard one. Would it have to beat the guy who burped in Steve’s ear at the mall? Or …
Random Thoughts Ahoy!
I’ve been meaning to write this post for the last two days, and I haven’t done it. Don’t i suck? It has no real focus, just another random hodgepodge of things that have been passing through my head. I don’t know whether people are bored when I do those or not. Sometimes I wonder. Hope …
It’s Official, Human Beings Are Retarded
Honest to God, I actually read the words below just now on a real website while unsubscribing from a real newsletter. “if you are unsure what your email address is that you are subscribed under, this is located in your ezine below the Unsubscribe Link.” Let’s give these people a pass on the poor wording …
What Are we Even Saying Anymore?
For some reason, certain words have caught my attention lately. Some annoying guy with his mouth full of food was on the TV talking about some President’s Choice Cake. “It’s decadent!” he slurred through his chewing, which made me think. Isn’t it weird that the same word that means extravagant or indulgent also means decaying …
What’s a Bed and Breakfest?
I saw something that wouldn’t bug me much if I’d seen it anywhere but where I saw it. I saw a typo. Someone had written breakfest instead of breakfast. No biggy. Everybody makes a mistake sometimes. But where did I see it? On the main page of the newspaper’s website! To me, this is huge. …
Rub One Out For Research
Charity wants people to lend a hand… The most striking part of this story to me isn’t that they’re holding a masturbate-a-thon, I’ve heard about a few of those before. What really gets me about this is that the event is being put on with the help of an HIV charity, and the article says …
What’s in A Name? Hopefully Not Cancer!
When you hear www.redgreen.com, or www.airfarce.com, where do you think they go? I think they go to Red Green’s website and the website for the Royal Canadian Air Farce, don’t you? Actually, I know they do. So, what would be the logical conclusion when you see www.cancer.ca? For me, I become frightened. I think that …
For Those of Y’all on Blindtech, Come On!
As a public service from Steve and I to anyone who is blind and can’t spell, or maybe just can’t spell period, here’s a helpful list of words that seem to be hard to spell for a lot of blinks. Let’s call this the blinklish to English dictionary. Feel free to give us suggestions of …

Thought Stew cooked up in the Mind of an Insomniac
Well, here I sit. It’s 6:00 a.m. and I’ve been up since 2. Yea great joys. So I thought I’d babble about some things that have been on my mind. Sorry for not being around lately, life has been keeping me very busy. Not uninspired, just tired. First of all, not being able to sleep …
