Caption Contest: Pulp Fiction

So I decided to go with a Pulp Fiction theme this week. At first I thought I'd use a pic of Samuel L. Jackson interrogating that kid, but I didn't have a picture of myself that really worked with it. I did, however, have a nice profile of Climber t... [Read the full post]

Thursday Shout Out: You Guys (ok, and my book)

Man, what a week. Between puking my guts out, taking care of children who were puking their guts out, wrapping up a programming job for a client and working on a radical revamp of humor-blogs.com (which I'm almost done with), I haven't had a lot of ... [Read the full post]

Projectile Blogging

Perhaps the least pleasant way to start a week is with a violent attack of Dianetics.* I was under the impression that my near-superhuman immune system had allowed me to sidestep the viral maelstrom that had recently laid waste to my household, but ... [Read the full post]

World's Foremost Authority on Sarcasm

Lately I've hinted -- not very subtly -- that I'm now working for Google. I'm technically not a Google employee, but I'm working onsite at the Google headquarters on some internal projects for them. I didn't want to say too much at first because I ... [Read the full post]

Although the avowed purpose of this blog is now to get Huey Lewis recognized as the classic rock paragon that he is, pragmatic considerations force me to be your dancing monkey once again. Let me make it clear, however, that I am doing this only to ... [Read the full post]

Caption Contest: National Treasure

Lately I feel like I should have the phrase "Sorry, I've been really busy" automatically prepended to the body of all my emails. I forgot how time-consuming this whole employment thing is. How the heck do you people get anything important done when... [Read the full post]

The Post Where I Make Things Right With the Touchy Females

So my last post got me called a misogynist, which is rather unfair, since I don’t hate women so much as I hate people in general. That’s why my blog has the sub-heading "Antisocial Commentary." I even wrote a book with that title. I’m not sure how... [Read the full post]

Can We Talk?

One of the great things about language is the fact that you can use it to communicate with other people. For example, I might say to you, "Hey, could you hand me that pencil?" And then you might, if you were so inclined, hand me that pencil. And t... [Read the full post]

Lend Me Your Ear

Mrs. Diesel and I were lying in bed on Saturday morning, having been awoken by the sound of our children squealing and pounding on things in the next room. The kids routinely get up two hours before we do on weekends so they can get a head start on ... [Read the full post]

Blogger Layouts Question

Ok, so I'm stumped. You may have noticed I've been messing with my template a lot lately. I'm kind of old school when it comes to this stuff, so I don't mind mucking around in the html/css to get the page to look the way I want it to. I tend to st... [Read the full post]

Wow, this was a tough one. Apparently the sight of me kissing a chimpanzee was enough to get my readers' creative juices flowing, so to speak. There were over 130 captions, and a lot of them were really good. It was so competitive this week that e... [Read the full post]

The Tooth Machine

I've always wanted to write a novel, and now that I've gotten over the hurdle of publishing my first book (a little semi-fictional collection of nonsense entitled Antisocial Commentary), I decided that I was finally going to do it. It's a lot of wor... [Read the full post]
