Ahead of my time

Want a laugh ?

I'm so ahead of my time, I was blogging before it became popular.

head over to
http://www.geocities.com/wet_kipper/me/rant.html
It's the "Rant and Rave" section of my personal website that I had running from about '98 to 2002.
The first comments (at the bottom) come from 2001, and then get newer as you go up.

I was about to say I was "blogging" before it was called that, but a quick check on wikipedia confirmed that Blogger.com and LiveJournal started in 1999, so I didn't get there first. And yes, my rant and rave was essentially an online diary which lots of people were doing around that time.

And yes, I was almost as sporadic then as I was now.

Doorhinge

Some more Friday nonsense for you

Doorhinge (WHY ?)

Why do people talk much louder when they're on a mobile phone?
Why do kids always get messy when they eat an ice-cream cone?
Why is it that strange noises only happen in the dark?
Why do I always step in something nasty in the park?

Why is it when you're vacuuming the cord is just too short?
Why is it when you're in a rush the printer cries, "ABORT"?
Why is it when you need it, it is no-where to be found?
Why do they make square yoghurt pots when every spoon in the world is round?

Why is it when you're in a queue, the other one moves faster?
Why is it I can never cook perfect 'al dente' pasta?
Why is it that the shops no longer stock Cremola Foam?
Why do double glazing salesmen only call when you are home?

Why are my Christmas presents always smelly stuff and socks?
Why is there only ever Spam in my email inbox?
Why is it I'm allergic to cut grass and oil seed rape?
Why can I never find the end on rolls of sellotape?

Why does it always rain on barbecues or a parade?
Why do dogs and horses always know when you're afraid?
Why is it 'cause I'm Scottish, folks assume that I like Scotch?
Why is it my team never wins when I decide to watch?

Why is it there's no other word that seems to rhyme with orange?
Why do some cry "oh yes there is" and proudly claim "it's DOORHINGE"?
