They Call Me Cookie to My Face

I know I promised "WTF is that upside his/her head" anime commentary and the marital arts movie formulas but right now economics is on my mind. In a previous post entitled "Fuck Unemployment" I mentioned the minimum wage debate. Usually people are of 3 positions: that it should be raised, that it should be lowered, or that it should not exist at all. The answer to this debate is not a simple one. There are many factors that play a part in how this price floor should be dealt with. A price floor (for those of you who don't know) is an economic tool or policy used to keep the price of something from dropping below a certain amount. Usually it applies to the price of goods and services. Guilds, government policy and other cooperative ventures are in place to regulate price floors. For example, the wages or salaries of doctors are indirectly regulated by a Guild called the American Medical Association. A guild (for those who don't know) is a group of peopl...

Hey all, A couple of weeks ago an internet friend challenged Google+ members to come up with video game themed "yo momma" jokes. I happily rose to the occasion. So here I am posting them here. A great many of them were off the cuff so I might miss some. I'll break them up by category. YO MOMMA SO FAT... 1. Yo momma so fat her fatality is a heart attack. 2. Yo momma so fat if you shoot red shells at her they go into orbit. 3. Yo momma so fat when she power slides she sets the track on fire. 4. Yo momma so fat she needs 3 monitors to wipe her ass. 5. Yo momma beat kirby in a pie eating contest. 6. Yo momma so fat Mario tried to jump over her and died. 7. Yo momma so fat if she got an invincibility star the world would end. YO MOMMA SO UGLY... 1. Yo momma so ugly Scott Cawthorn created FNAF after a one night stand with her. 2. Yo momma so ugly Yoshi saw her, yelped, and ran in the opposite direction. 3. Yo momma so ugly Milena offered to give...

I am about to embark upon a writing assignment for academic merit. I have a few poems to choose from to analyze. One in particular caught my eye; Shakespeare's Sonnet 116. I used to memorize his work on a weekly basis because I thought it would increase my memory and to entertain myself. Yes, I was once that pathetic. Anyway here is the poem before I validate the title of this post: SONNET 116 Let me not to the marriage of true minds Admit impediments. Love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds, Or bends with the remover to remove: O no; it is an ever-fixed mark,  That looks on tempests, and is never shaken; It is the star to every wandering bark, Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken. Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks  Within his bending sickle's compass come;  Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,  But bears it out even to the edge of doom.    If this be error and upon me proved,...

If you love martial arts movies like I do then you already know the formula. ....but I'm not here to talk about that today. I showed up to blow up how those poor unfortunate souls tasked with protecting the bad guy get LAID OUT by the hero. 11. The Warning Yell. -Look, y'all bout to get fucked up. This is the emergency get-yo-ass-out the way broadcast system. This is not a test.   10 . Slappin' ya face! -These goons are so low level that an open hand and a yell is all it takes to get them out of the way. Some might mistake these moves for chops or pressure points. Naw, this be straight up pimpin' without the baby powder.  Yeah I know, she is using a shoe. But that shit is still funny!   The real Slap Attack! 9. Get Outta Here! -What Scorpion would do with these fools, the hero does the opposite. He or She literally shoves, flips, or kicks them out of the way. While finding themselves dazed and confused their brains are no longer required t...

I have a problem....social issues. I lack the ability to eat successive bowls of bullshit for wages below subsistence level. So when someone asks me if I think the minimum wage should be raised I reply with a disgruntled sigh, but that's another post waiting to be written. So as I said before I have a problem. However, my work ethic does not suffer from this problem. I still manage to do my job irregardless of how much I'm being paid and how much bullshit is being served. That being said, I feel as though whenever I am unfortunate enough to have to resort to asking the government for some of my money back I should get it. I shouldn't have to make fireworks shoot out of my ass for a measely percentatage of my former wages. You know, these mother fuckers really got nerve. The moment you start to work Uncle Sam pulls out a huge spiked dildo and starts pummeling your back side- no lube. Don't ask for any. They're out. And to add insult to injury he rewards thos...

No...I'm not talking about the balancing act that creates buns of steel. I'm talking about housing. That's right. I'm on some see-a-house, change-the-locks, move-yo-ass-in shit. Is it stealing? Is it bum behavior? Maybe. But financially speaking it is no less reckless than dumping thousands of bucks a year into renting an apartment or house. If you drive around the area I live in you, will see a good many houses in various states of disrepair. You will also see people pushing around shopping carts full of cans. There is this pretty neat park near where I live. Every time I walk through it I notice that they have cleared more trees yet the mysterious and sparse piles of mattresses and blankets remain. You mean to tell me that the same dudes that are mowing down trees care more for the homeless population than investors? If you don't know what squatting is let me elaborate. Squatting is when an individual or a group of individuals find a house or bui...
