All this talk about civil disobedience and stickin’ it to The Man and I’ve probably made myself sound like a rude asshole. I am not. I’m a very polite asshole. Good manners are the hallmark of good breeding; I am never boorish when I break the law. A good attitude and a pleasant, engaging manner […]

Before there was YouTube
January 13, 2007 – 9:56 am
The weenies in the corporate IS department have suddenly blocked YouTube. Now my blog-surfing experience has big holes in it. Honestly, how they expect me to do my job without the toilet flushing cat, I do not know. Now that I’m the blogosphere’s nerdy kid who smells funny and doesn’t get what the cool kids […]
The moving finger writes
December 30, 2006 – 4:44 pm
Spotted through a very rainy windshield this afternoon. The best touch is the “Merry Christmas XXX” in the bottom right. Or maybe the jaunty sketch of poo in the upper right. Writing rude things in the dirt on (the ubiquitous) white delivery van is an artform here. The best one I’ve seen so far is […]

Woooo! Woo woo! Woooo!

Do you guys ever check your own websites to see if there are any interesting new posts? I don’t mean comments. And when there’s not, I’m all, like, “awwww damnit! I drive this bus!” I’m trying to squeeze out one a day for you, but I know I won’t manage it consistently because…you know. Lazy […]
Yours Truly, Stoat E. Weasel
November 9, 2006 – 6:20 am
You know what? I’m not going to be able to take this for a few days. I’ve got a forty minute commute, each way, each day, and usually I spend it poking the buttons on newsradio and screaming at it for more. But today…the gloating and the analysis and the…the…oh, god, the Pelosi. I just […]
