10 Worst Ways to Propose Marriage
In my earlier post An Expensive Proposal I pondered how far modern day Romeos will go in order to orchestrate the ultimate proposal. It would seem that where the proposal takes place is also becoming an issue. Here are the ten worst ways I can think of to propose marriage. You have been warned.
10. In church, while your beloved is on her way to the alter to marry her six foot ten, muscle packed, open heart surgeon fiancée. I know it worked for Dustin Hoffman but that was in the movies.
9. At the funeral of her grandmother who brought her up More >
Alex in Blunderland
Alex in Blunderland
Alex works for Queen Features Inc which is situated on 472 Main Street on the 54th floor. Alex is middle management and has been for five years now. Alex’s prospects are not too promising. He is half way up the ladder but can’t seem to get any higher. Every day, Alex gets up at 7:10 A.M., showers, brushes the twelve hairs that hang over his forehead, eats a toasted bagel with cheese, drinks a cup of tasteless brewed warm coffee and commutes to work. Alex wears a Blue-tooth earphone ornamentally on his right ear and a single earring in More >
Curiouser and Curiouser: Will the Real Alice Please Stand Up
Curiouser and Curiouser
Many critics have claimed that Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland isn’t loyal to the original book published in 1865 by Lewis Carol. The film displays the story of Alice in the Under Ground and claims that it was Alice who called it Wonderland in an earlier visit. Few of the critics seem to have noticed that Burton is winking at them and his audience throughout. The original Alice was supposedly Alice Liddell, one of three schoolgirl sisters, daughters of Henry George Liddell, the Vice-Chancellor of Oxford University, who were lucky enough to listen to Reverend Charles Lutwidge Dodgson’s More >
The Taite Guide to Michelangelo’s David
Michelangelo’s David is one of the best known and respected art pieces in the world. His marble sculpture of the young Israelite who slew Goliath and became king has been the #1 tourist attraction in Florence for centuries. If Michelangelo sculptured the young David today, entirely in the buff, who would probably immediately be arrested as a suspect pedophile. Such is the way of the world.
Here’s what the Internet has done to innocent David.
The result of centuries of pasta
Even a king needs to pick his nose sometimes

The Taite Guide to Gift Shops
Museums were first invented in Paris, France by Jean Paul Yurr Hedoff in 1789. Jean was employed by Doctor Joseph-Ignace Guillotin as a cleaner upper or as they called it in those days a nettoyeur de têtes. It was Jean’s job to clean up the mess after a Guillotine. The poor man found that after a few weeks he had quite a collection of disembodied heads and blood stained clothing and a growing crowd of visitors who wanted to see the artifacts for themselves. So it happened that Jean, behind the back of his employer and the authorities, opened his house to paying vistors and aptly named More >

The Only Man on the Island
Help! I am stranded on a desert island somewhere in the Caribbeans . I was in the middle of a heavy poker game in the casino, somewhere in the vicinity of Bermuda, when I heard a big explosion. The next thing I know, I am hanging on for dear life to the remains of a roulette table, alone in the middle of the ocean in the midday sun and no sunscreen. I floated for what seemed liked days, but was probably no more than a few hours, ’till a tidal wave swept me on to a deserted beach. Well it wasn’t deserted More >

When Insults Had Class (no 4-letter words!!)
Once upon a time people actually put thought into their insults.
The following are from an era when cleverness with words was still valued, before a great portion of the English language got boiled down to 4-letter words, not to mention waving middle fingers.
The exchange between Churchill & Lady Astor:
She said, “If you were my husband I’d give you poison,” and he said, ”If you were my wife, I’d drink it.”
A member of Parliament to Disraeli: “Sir, you will either die on the gallows or of some unspeakable disease.” “That depends, Sir,” said Disraeli, “whether I embrace your policies or your mistress.” “He had delusions More >
Shop Till You Drop
She never wears the same skirt twice
She lives on diet coke.
She’s the crowned queen of the shopping mall
Who doesn’t see it as a joke.
On payday morn she wakes at dawn
She’s not like other folk.
By 6 P.M. she’s shopped and shopped
Once again she’s truly broke
Her fridge s quite a no mans land
While she overflows in shoes.
If clothes contained more vitamins
She’d be as perky as Tom Cruise.
They tell her it’s obsessive
Just like cigarettes and booze.
Maybe they’re right, ’cause on shopless nights
She comes down with the blues.
Trendy Tina, Reckless Rita,
Fashion Freak Fionna.
They never drink the local beer
But will settle for Corona.

Job Interview Nightmare
It was recruiting time at the office again. Larry had conveniently come down with some kind of rare nameless virus and the chore was again left to me – for the fourth year running. We were in the market for a Java programmer and an Analyst but judging from the resumes and interview minutes, we could easily have been recruiting for a 3 ring circus. Here are some of the feedback I got.

Avatar II Auditions: The Revenge of the Canines
It was inevitable. After the success of the first movie the web was full of rumors and speculations regarding the sequel (obviously the first of many). Mini (my wonderdog) had already got a head start on me. It’s easy for her, she doesn’t have to hold down a day job and commute every morning and evening. She is entitled to free bed and board and can sleep all day if she choses, which she does after she has conscientiously woken me at 6:30 AM even on a Saturday. So, needless to say, she has plenty of time to surf and More >
