no, weather channel, it’s NOT that amazing.

just some quick twitter stupidity: follow me on twitter: @thelinear

new hijinx.nu feature: prank letters!

i put up a new page on the site for some prank letters i wrote a few years back to companies. you can view the page by clicking here, or the link at the top of the site (next to the happy and sad pages)! the letters are me under various ridiculous pseudonyms acting like [...]

if it WERE automatic, i’d just piss in the sink.

look, when someone passive-aggresively demands that people do something, chances are they’re not going to do it… but rather, go out of their way to avoid doing it. here’s a case study. This is a urinal from my work. For the past few weeks now, the sign you see above the urinal has been displayed. It’s [...]

Hummus

It’s been a while since I’ve posted anything, and an even longer time since I added anything to the Happy Page. So let me kill two birds with one stone — Let’s talk about hummus. Look, I know it’s not a surprise that I would like hummus, but let’s be serious for a moment here: [...]

when awesome things happen in hockey

It’s no secret that i like hockey. But one thing I really like about hockey, is when teams I hate fuck up badly. YouTube Direct Exhibit A, the Dallas Stars fucking shit up.  Enjoy.

mustache march!

I’ve done a lot of stupid things, so really this shouldn’t be too surprising. In December, after participating in NO SHAVE NOVEMBER and growing a mighty beard (which really isn’t too abnormal, I’m usually too lazy to shave), I made the not-so-well-thought-out agreement to participate in Mustache March. I also convinced a handful of my [...]

Mystery Science Theater 3000

I’m not too sure when or how I  stumbled upon Mystery Science Theater, I just remember being pretty young but knowing right away that MST3K wasn’t just funny as hell, but that it was smart funny. And don’t get me wrong, there’s a time and a place for stupid-funny too; I enjoy watching a man [...]

screw the bank i work for!

Most of you are aware that I work for a bank. Fortunately, I’m not an idiot teller or some other equally terrible entry-level job, however the work is still fairly painful and mind-numbingly monotonous. Some Canadian fool named Myles sent me this Kids in the Hall skit a few days ago. I’m not so sure it’s supposed [...]

surgeon general’s warning: wine impairs your ability to blog

Occasionally, I consciously do things which knowingly make me an asshole. On Saturday, Bex and I joined a wine club. Surprisingly, they didn’t mention whether the club would be automatically registering me in the Republican Party or if I was expected to do that on my own. I do, however, suddenly feel very strongly about [...]

i should be in marketing.

So the company I registered the domain name “hijinx.nu” (among others) is having this contest where you make a commercial for them. Being the hilarious person I am, I made three entries. The contest is closed to new entries, but is now having people vote for the winner. The vote is based on the videos’ [...]
