        <![CDATA[<p>A few angry thoughts in short order:</p>

<h3>Friday the 13th is Stupid</h3>
<p>Quote-unquote <q>news</q> organizations and TV stations are orgasmic over idiotic stories like this.  There is no superstition.  If you believe in black cats crossing your path and broken mirrors and walking under ladders, blah blah blah, you're a schmuck, plain and simple.  Eat a bullet right now.  You're simply too dumb to be alive.</p>

<h3>To the Web Designers of the World:</h3>
<p>Please stop using the term <q>mashup</q>.  It's old hat.  It's just as annoying as Web 2.0.  Your brilliant idea to create an AJAX-ified site that Google Maps all your Myspace friends?  Been done a dozen times over.</p>

<p>But wait!  How about a DIGG-iTunes mashup?  Ya know, so people can like rate songs.  But it'll be with AJAX so it'll be cool!</p>

<p>No.  No it won't.  Stop it already.  Please.</p>

<h3>Why, No, You're Not Getting a Tip</h3>
<p>I'm a pretty generous guy financially.  Unless the waiter drops a deuce in my food at the table, I'm pretty understanding, typically leaving at least 20% of the tab (15% if a deuce is in fact present).  I tip my hair dresser or barber or whatever they're called these days.  I never know if I'm supposed to, but I do.  It's partly to blame for why I hate getting my haircut.  I don't know why, I just hate it.  I tip cab drivers - especially if they can get me from the East Side of Providence to <a href="http://www.trinitybeer.com/">Trinity Brewhouse</a> in under six minutes ("There's a fiver for you.  Keep the change." ... "Tank you buddee!").</p>

<p>But I do <strong>not</strong> tip the guy who vends my coffee from a volkswagen size machine at Dunkin' Donuts.  Or the "baristas" at Starbucks.  Just because the corporate a-holes at Big Wig Inc. believe that all the tip-happy coffee-sipping yuppies will be more than happy to subsidize said "baristas" $7.50/hr career, doesn't mean that I'm going to.</p>

<p>It's ridiculous and it's insulting.</p>

<p>There.  I feel better.  Now I need a hug.</p>]]>
