Reduced to Infant Humanity

 

This is beautiful. Hands down awesome. And fitting since I just witnessed a game of peek-a-boo the other day and wondered why? Why do the miniature people enjoy this so much? And why do the bigger ones of us fall into default mode and play these games that make no logical sense? Obviously there’s something behind the game that riles up the tyke army, the logic just escapes me.

And don’t get me wrong I’ve fallen victim to playing my role in it also. Just like when I talk in a stupid voice to an animal. I hate myself a bit for doing so but nonetheless it happens.

Regardless, the important thing here is that this illustration is art in the highest form. For me at least. And if anyone knows who the artist is or what the script says, hit us up.

Bushwick Hipsters

Nice knock off of Bushmills. Kind of funny it was actually found on Bedford Ave. in Williamsburg though. But yea, I guess that’s me since I was a non-native new yorker living in Bushwick. I aint mad. Boom.

Double Negative

I clicked the unsubscribe button on an email from a charity I gave to long ago and was taken to the following page.

The sentence “Uncheck the box for any communication you no longer wish to receive.” is pretty ugly. Rather than simply state “Check the box for any communication you wish to receive.” The writer choose the double plus ungood method.

I came across this once before on a project that made me lose what little respect I had for the developer who wrote it.

if (!notChecked) {
}

If you are doing things this way you are doing it wrong.

It’s Getting Hot in Here

I spent the last week in my hometown of Milwaukee the weather was unseasonably warm, in fact about thirty degrees warmer than normal. As is required when visiting Milwaukee one must eat frozen custard. So my brother, Jeru 55, and I went to Kopp’s. Since it was over sixty-five degrees we were sitting outside enjoying our frozen custard when I overheard the guy next to us say.
“Who would have thought we’d be eating frozen custard outside in Milwaukee in March?”
To which I resisted saying “Al Gore”

You Keep Using that Word. I Do Not Think It Means What You Think it Means.

Everybody’s lovable favorite town idiot was recent quoted saying “The dangers of carbon dioxide? Tell that to a plant, how dangerous carbon dioxide is.”
He also referred to global warming as a liberal myth. Poor Rick despite his Penn State education doesn’t know the difference between carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. He also doesn’t have a solid grasp of what a myth is either. A myth isn’t supported by scientific data. On the other he has dedicated a lot of time and effort to one very popular myth, Christianity.

Bad at Life

There are a lot of people for whom many common protocols and knowledge are completely beyond their comprehension. I’ve started referring to these people as being bad at life (BaL). I’m sure you’ve interacted with BaL people. Here’s a summary list of their common traits:

  • Does not understand zone boarding on plane.
  • Does not understand the concept of lines.
  • Uses “quotes” when not needed.
  • Decides the time to find change for a toll booth is when they are at the gate.
  • Despite waiting inline for fifteen minutes, still has not decided what they want to order.
