Amen. This may be your best post to date. The invisible people will take care of themselves. The visible ones -- that's a problem. Somewhere, I a have a plaque that says "May the God you invented forgive you."

Nothing new in two weeks....what the hell kinda blog is this? I've got friends who write suicide notes more frequently. When did angry people get so unambitious?

All Chinese takeout joints meet the same requirement: warning note from the Board of Health. Usually before they're open for the first day. If you have been eating this stuff since childhood, you have developed an immunity. Plus most of the vegetables are grown in USA. That should boost your confidence.

If you're ever up this way, you're invited to a home-cooked Chinese meal, prepared by a certifiable refugee from Mao's Great March. Seriously.

You will surely get to heaven sooner than planned if you continue to use your deep fry machine, even with "good" oil. But at least you'll enjoy the trip. Ask for an aisle seat. You can get off the plane faster that way.

A healthy shelf is a happy shelf, Pipskippy, and further, there is no reason to avoid run-on sentences since some of the world's greatest authors often wrote them when the "period" on the MS Word programs failed to operate and they just had to get their thoughts out and decided if it was good enough for Proust it was good enough for them especially on days when their minds had been pre-numbed by long and arduous visits to Costco, and if there's no Costco in their areas, to Sam's Club or BJ's Wholesale Club which, personally, I like better than the others and wish there were were one nearby.

Yeah tell me about it!
It takes forever for money to transfer into my account and I am missing some good windows to purchase as a result.
No kudos for them!

2008-03-12T10:36:00.000-05:00

Beatles? One good album, "Meet The Beatles," and nothing after that. A halfway decent English imitation of a rockabilly band, with some decent lyrics until they started taking themselves seriously. But compared with today's "music," they're Bach. (I hate Bach.) And if I hear "Yesterday" in one more elevator I'm going to scream!

A one-time investment in a good electric shaver will make the price practically zero-per-shave. The problem with these things arises when you try to use them for other things -- like slicing fish. That gets messy, plus when you use them again for shaving, your face smells like Chilean Sea Bass. You get used to it, but your friends, family and co-workers probably won't. You can always say it's your new cologne.

Spray Painting Hipster: Paint ON! Your generation's no more self absorbed and apathetic than mine, but you have more of a future ahead by virtue of your youth, so way to stay off your ass and do something.

Hey, here's a clue: your local government and your school district has a hell of a lot to do with your quality of life, and they can invest or waste a similarly hellish lot of YOUR money, which you could use to get more education, or something else you need to survive. How about after the big election, think about you getting your friends stoked up and run for some offices?

Seriously, keep that fire in your belly.

2008-01-25T04:56:00.000-06:00

MSFT is not a software company anymore. It's a financial manipulation company that makes software. Hence, the lack of innovation.

And there's no one left from whom to "borrow" basic ideas, as they did with MSDOS, Windows.

So now, they just fiddle with "Money" and with "Word." Their biggest innovation in the last few years has been figuring out how to make Word '07 incompatible with earlier versions.

That's one small step for software, one giant step for sales.

Ya know, you really hit home with this one. You look at members of boards of directors, and it sure looks like the old boy's club in action.

I gotta get me one of those board seats, complete with high paying honorarium!

Keep this up and we may have to put you on Squawk Box as a guest! :)

2008-01-10T05:53:00.000-06:00

I generally resolve to eat more trans fats, smoke more and increase my alcohol intake. This year I want to gain 30 pounds, in addition.

Since resolutions are impossible to keep, these usually work out. Except the weight part. Gotta work on that.

2007-12-27T15:05:00.000-06:00

Actually, no. The library fees stay within the library system, so think of it as a worthy donation. However, you should look at buying you wife her own copy of 'Inside the mind of Pipskippy' to avoid the fees.

2007-12-26T17:00:00.000-06:00

Haven't made it to the mall yet. However, today I engaged in the unanticipated activity of paying $24+ of late fees at the local library on behalf of my wife. My question - is this grounds for divorce? I'll hang up and listen to your answer.

Good point, I will retract from my position.

A little unsolicited advice on dropping the "class warfare" slogan: No.... no no no nonononono. Please.

Rome wasn't built (nor was it destroyed) in a day.

Give it time.

We Americans don't generally acknowledge our "class." But in our hearts, we know.

WR- Peasant and proud of it!

You, Me, maybe Wes Richards, my mom, and my dog just walked by and looked at the monitor. So, yes, five. Pony up, roadshows aren't cheap.

Five blog readers...holy s**t, are you serious?!? Well done dude....that's impressive.

Wait, do you mean five different people or five cummulative instances of blog reading?

I am so pleased to find someone who may be even more realistic (cynical? negative?) than myself and that he is young enough to make a difference, although you're probably preaching to the choir.

If you want to view the evolution of what you're talking about, you need go no further than the two most dangerous thinkers of the 20th Century, B.F. Skinner and Norman Vincent Peale.

Skinner decided that we are no more than stimulus-response machines. Peale turned "positive" and "negative" into axioms. Neither is true. But each is true enough to cause enormous damage.

Further, they'll change the name to the Wallaby Street Journal. The good news: the website will be entirely free. And the page-three girls will all have MBAs.

Maybe your funniest punchline to date. I silently nod in your direction.
