Two things this morn, dear worst-reader. There are the many who don't know the Interwebnets. There are the few who don't know the Interwebnet. Let's begin w/ the first, shall we? As a consume-to-survivor I made a major end of the year purchase on 29.12.14. It took worst-moi a few weeks to finally make the …
Roller Rink of Mind
Back in the day, dear worst-reader. Back in the day. I'm referring mostly to the 80s and 90s when I still had it in me. In fact it was so in-me that I couldn't get the idears out of me. It was truly all I could do at the time for I knew that the end …
The Masters of the Switches
Why is it, dear worst-reader, that the older I get the easier it is to distract me? I mean, it happens all the time. When I'm walking Beckett, the killer pug, I lose focus of the little guy whenever any female passes by in a pair of jeans. When I'm putting up a Xmas tree, hanging those …
Amenities
"We are all civilised people, which means that we are all savages at heart but observing a few amenities of civilised behaviour. I am afraid that I observe fewer of these amenities than you do. Reason? My back is to the wall and has been to the wall for so long that the pressure of …
Ms. Santa, Baby
Let us go there, dear worst-reader. Let us go the humbug way. For it is that time of year where gluttonous consumption can take a break from filling guts and oversized clothes via fast food counters. That gluttony can be replaced with children accidentally eating cheaply sewn button eyes of dolls and figurines and thereby …
Hack-chu Gesundheit
"If everyone doesn't see this movie, the terrorists win." -from a shameless Hollywood promotional article here. No. Seriously. This is a joke, right? I mean, this hack on Sony Pictures is a joke. If it's not a joke, then it must be the weirdest promotion of a film ever. Right? (See link above.) Ok. If none of that …
Success Equals Failure
"In these times Success should be more appreciative of Fail. Unlike previous times, today, without the latter there can be no former. Or something like that." -Tommi
True Greatness
"I told my dad someday I'm gonna own a big computer." -Steve Wozniak. http://youtu.be/pJif4i9NRdI
Swap Your En-Tities
Worst-words of the day, dear worst-reader... Prohibition Against Federal Government Bailout of Swap Entities As stated here, Elizabeth Warren is a maverick. She is indeed doing her best to do something about something. But what is that something, dear worst-reader? Well, let's give it a shot and try to tell what that something is. In …
Comedy, Ether and Cosby
Subtitle: The Opposite of Comedy Is Sexual Repression There’s this thing about comedy that has lingered with me for a long time. I’ve often wasted a thought or three trying to figure out what it is. With some recent realizations/rationalisations, there might be worst-progress. For example. Is there something behind comedy? You know, something more than just …
Sell It Back
Attempts at humour from long ago... Question: Mr. Allen, do you think the Israelis should give back the land they've won from the Arabs? Woody Allen: (Short pause.) Do I think the Israelis should give back the land they won? No. I think they should sell it back. Source: click here to see it for yourself.
House of (Discrepancy) Cards
What do you do, dear worst-reader, when the only choice you have is to not sneeze in a house of cards where the air is filled with feathers and pepper dust? Yeah, baby. With that in mind, let's worst-write today--after such a long hiatus of nothingnesss--about discrepancy and derivative trading. What is discrepancy? How 'bout …
