Young naive folks are likely to do things which in retrospect are pretty stupid. I was a child once and I was naive too. So I did stupid things. It gets even stupider when said child is trying to say things in a language he does not master. There was an [...]
[After my previous post on sugar and high fructose corn syrup being everywhere, I found this page. "Intellectually dishonest" is the mildest qualifier which comes to mind for that page. Anyway, I decided to produce my own home-grown tripe. Read on...]
There was some stupid ad on TV this morning. As I am wont to do, I parodied it. I made up some nonsense slogan with the phrase “zombie pus”. Debbie immediately corrected me, arguing that zombies cannot have pus because they are dead. Technically they are living-dead but she’s probably right. [...]
