I guess all my talk of dogs made our google ads change to dog-related stuff, and lump-removal stuff. But one dog ad made me do a double take. I guess it was effective advertising, because it was sure tempting to click on it. The ad read something like:Your dog need help upstairs? Get harness available …

Me Talk Good, For Serious
First off I want to apologize for my lack of posts over the last few weeks. I can’t promise that things are going to get much better over the next little while because of Summer and circumstances, but come on, at least I’m being honest with you and making an attempt to appear as though …
Rogers, U R not Cool!
No, I didn’t degenerate into a moron, I did that on purpose. I got a cellphone bill the other day. While I was reading through it, I got to a point where they throw in their regularly scheduled advertising blabber. The piece I hit was encouraging us all to turn into mutes and use text …

More English Pet Peeves
What the hell is with me having the urge to be so nitpicky right now? I don’t know. But here I go again. What is it with people forgetting the meaning of words and just using them any old way? Some people just seem to take words and throw them in a sentence as if …
Pet Peeves
There are certain little things in people’s writing that just annoy me. I don’t know why, I shouldn’t give a rat’s ass, but they just get under my skin, I guess the way people get bugged by other people’s eating habits, or the way people leave the toothpaste, etc. I just see them a lot …
