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 … Continue reading As Time Doesn't Go By

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 … Continue reading Roller Rink of Mind
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 … Continue reading The Masters of the Switches
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 … Continue reading Amenities
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 … Continue reading Ms. Santa, Baby
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 … Continue reading Hack-chu Gesundheit
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 … Continue reading Swap Your En-Tities
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/rationalisations, there might be worst-progress. For example. Is there something behind comedy? You know, something more than just … Continue reading Comedy, Ether and Cosby
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 … Continue reading House of (Discrepancy) Cards
The Aggrandisement of Nothingness
Note: unfinished post. Still waiting, dear worst-reader. Still waiting for the moment of zen. Or am I waiting for an awakening? Nomatter. The deluge of arm-chair spying lead by some whipper snapper from god's country, better known as herenorthere, who now lives in god's former country, has no end. It's as though the floodgates of … Continue reading The Aggrandisement of Nothingness
Scanned My Play
Wait. So they made a 3-D scan of my play "Flight of the Dodo"? Na. Didn't think so. Remember. It's a worstwriter play. -Rant on. Science Graphic of the Week: 3-D Scanned Dodo | WIRED.
The Other Half
What really got me worst-thinking about feminism, that is, how to define it, dear worst-reader, was the 2008 election. I was watching a news podcast or some youtube video where women were being interviewed at the beach about the upcoming election. Indeed, dear worst-reader, asking bikini ladies about Hillary Clinton while soaking up the sun is a wondrous venue … Continue reading The Other Half
Plunderful
Take into consideration, dear worst-reader, before you read the link below, that I am from Washington DC. I went to dumb-down school just south of the nations capital and my US address (when I'm in the US) is just east of it. I also lived in Virginia for a short stint of this/my useless-eating life. Boy, do I … Continue reading Plunderful
Possessed
"Human beings to flourish must be possessed by one idea, a central meaning to which all experience can be related." -Gore Vidal (Essay: Contemporaries: The Norman Mailer Syndrome, 1960)
I'm Important I'm An Actor
The moment Affleck started interrupting Harris I thought, wow, he seems like he's got a score to settle. Or should I worst-write today, dear worst-reader, of what I think of Ben Affleck? Yeah, let's go there. Is there such a thing as a disingenuous actor? I mean, an actor that acts disingenuously. Nomatter. I think … Continue reading I'm Important I'm An Actor
3rd World Corporate Statehood
You gotta luv this stuff. Example upon example of the demise of what might have been a great experiment. A country experiment, that is. Or. Wait. A nation-state experiment. Nomatter. As far as the examples go... Here just a few more examples of American't in its 3rd world statehood: ISIS or ISIL, Ebola in Dallas, … Continue reading 3rd World Corporate Statehood
Interwebnet Insecurity
Oh, dear worst-reader, here yet another exchange I recently had with a dear old friend. As you know, from other exchanges (here and here), sometimes we get places--intellectual places. But other times we just ramble on. The point is, ramble, worst-writer. Yeah, that's the point. Anywho. I know you're probably wondering if any of this … Continue reading Interwebnet Insecurity
Miswant
What about those moments where it's no longer a matter of being confused about crying or laughing? I worst-mean, on the one hand this was bound to happen: a lesbian couple fulfilling a dream but only to wake up to that dream's reality. On the other, I'm laughing my ass off at a society/world where … Continue reading Miswant
Brat Bier Und Witz
"Die Behauptung kommt in die erste Zeile. Der Journalismus in der letzten Satz." Translation of above text: The statement comes in the first line. Journalism is in the last sentence. The moment the sketch (below) goes black and white I started to worry. For you see, dear worst-reader, there are things to be afraid of in this world--and … Continue reading Brat Bier Und Witz
Getting Old Is A Bitch
Started The Atlantic article but was quickly bored of it. Set it virtually aside in a to-read-later pouch on my iPad. But then was listening to a podcast while walking Groger, my half Doberman, half Pug killer puppy. The podcast reawakened my interest in The Atlantic article because, well, the podcaster was able to break through the … Continue reading Getting Old Is A Bitch
The Uni-Corn
As a believer in Unicorns, do you actually think that they exist now or that they existed at some time in the past? -Rant on.
Puzzled By Creation
"I think that I might have done well at banking had I not been so carefully trained to be either a priest nor a warrior. Although I have the Persian noble's contempt for trade, I lack his passion for war and hunting and drinking to excess. Although I have a priest's deep knowledge of religion, … Continue reading Puzzled By Creation
