Man takes out ad to express anger with Time Warner Cable

Posted on June 1, 2011 | Comments Off on Man takes out ad to express anger with Time Warner Cable

Most people I know who have Time Warner Cable tell me they hate them. Most have heard how god-awful their customer service is, especially when it comes to making and keeping appointments. But while most people have no recourse but to complain to some underpaid customer service rep, Eugene Mirman lived out many a fantasy by writing a letter comparing the cable company to Stalin and Jeffrey Dahmer — and then publishing it as a full-page ad in two newspapers (New York Press and in the Greenpoint Gazette). Here is that letter. Click image for larger view. It’s a victory for us small people. (via ABC News)

Helicopter seeds are pure evil

Posted on June 1, 2011 | 2 comments

Helicopter seeds are pure evil. They get in your gutters, rock gardens, grass, planters, etc and are a pain to clean up. If you don’t clean them up, small maple trees will start growing out of gutters, gardens, and plant boxes. Holy nightmare. Mother nature can be cruel. If you have a silver maple in your yard, you understand my pain. Can someone please invent something to combat this?

Frequency of Men Wearing the Same Shirt

Posted on May 24, 2011 | Comments Off on Frequency of Men Wearing the Same Shirt

Everything changes when a girl comments on your shirt in any way. It’s true. I wear (or don’t wear) shirts with my wife in mind all of the time.

I share this guy’s sentiment. I absolutely HATE centipedes, and this is the time of year in Minnesota where they start to show themselves. GO DIE!

HANDTRUX beach toy

Posted on May 24, 2011 | Comments Off on HANDTRUX beach toy

Too bad these weren’t around when I was a kid. The HANDTRUX sandbox sized dirt machines look and work just like the real thing. With the patented handraulic power-grip hidden inside each machine, you can really do precision digging and excavate sand, loose dirt and mud! What kid wouldn’t like that? And what parent wouldn’t like the fact they are made in the U.S.A. Go buy them here. Summer has arrived.
