When I get into my car, I lock myself in. When I get home, I lock myself in. If I go into the work canteen alone, I lock myself in. When I visit friends, we all sit inside, and we lock ourselves in. When I go anywhere , I make sure that I am not alone, or that I can lock myself in. Because whether I...

From my grandmother: ...if you sleep with your hair tied up you'll get dents in your skull. ...if you keep pulling that face you'll get stuck that way. ...if you tear a playing card in half a devil will come out and steal your soul. ...why don't you do X/tie your hair X/wear X, it'll make you look s...

Oh heck yeah. All the time. A lot of men assume the chick behind the counter doesn't know anything - to the extent that they'll ask "I need help. Is the guy here?" He helps them with the brainless can't-you-read-the-onscreen-instructions questions (which irritate me), but sends them straight to me i...

I made a few disks of music videos that work in my DVD player, by converting the .flv files to .mpeg with a free program I discovered called Pazera. It doesn't seem to contain any malware that I've noticed, but without the premium version you can only convert a clip less than five minutes long. That...

The racist slurs totally scupper whatever point Macbeth might have been trying to make. What are you going to suggest next? Chase the wh***y into the sea? One farmer one bullet?
