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

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, there might be progress. For example. Is there something behind comedy, something more than just laughter? Well, …
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 …
