John's Blog: Comedy

Wassup!

Obama's been picking up endorsements left and right -- from numerous newspapers to former members of the Bush Administration, Colin Powell and Scott McClellan. You'll never guess who's the latest to endorse Obama -- it's those guys that did that beer commercial.

Happy Festivus!

Happy Festivus, everyone!

Why don't I start right in with the airing of the grievances?

To everyone on my blogroll: you should have blogged more. Try to do a better job next year.

To the guy going the wrong way through the new roundabout this evening: what part of "one way" is so hard for you to understand?

To the federal government: I don't have time to list all the grievances, so I'll just take this by branch.

Executive branch: You've just been nasty as of late.
Legislative branch: I'm really disappointed in you.
Judicial branch: Does "a system of checks and balances" sound familiar? Step up the checking and balancing, would you?

To the stores I frequent that started "rewards programs" this year: I find it more rewarding to shop at stores where they don't try to sell me on registering for something anytime I buy something.

More grievances will be aired at the feats of strength. Meet me later at the unadorned aluminum pole.

Bloodfeast

My brother James once told me that, comedy-wise, we were in the post-sarcastic age, the era of the non sequitur. Or something like that. I might not have been paying attention.

In that vein, I present to you a strange quiz I found on someone's blog. The idea is, you start up iTunes (which, of course, you surely have all your music in. DON'T YOU?!?) You set it to play all your music in shuffle mode. To answer each question, you advance to the next randomly-selected song and write down the title. No matter what it is, you use that title. Got it? Here are my results.
