Pathetic Peripatetic...: Superman vs Super-Ego

http://patheticperipatetic.blogspot.com/2004/10/superman-vs-super-ego.html

Thursday, October 14, 2004. My wife subscribes to Oprah Winfrey's magazine, succinctly entitled "O". When she received her first issue, I noted, in passing, a nice picture of Oprah on the cover. Later, after she had received her second issue, I thought it rather peculiar that Oprah would grace the covers of back-to-back issues. It was a slow, deliberate dawn, climbing laboriously over the distant horizon. Help me out here, is this a text-book example of classic egocentricity? Think about it; where Superm...

Pathetic Peripatetic...: XP TKO

http://patheticperipatetic.blogspot.com/2005/07/xp-tko.html

Saturday, July 30, 2005. July 2005 will long be remembered for the knock-down, drag-out fight between me and WindowsXP. I had purchased an XP installation disk with the intention of removing my five-year-old WindowsME operating system, wiping my hard-drive clean and rejuvenating my computer with 21st century technology. If I'd know how tough my opponent was going to be I'd have hired a manager and gone into training early. Format. This, of course, did not wipe my hard-drive as I had intended. My Taskbar ...

Pathetic Peripatetic...: Merry Seasonal Celebration #12

http://patheticperipatetic.blogspot.com/2005/12/merry-seasonal-celebration-12.html

Thursday, December 01, 2005. Merry Seasonal Celebration #12. There's a move afoot in America to change the Christmas holiday. There are people who love to engage in the festivities and gift giving and parties and days off but don't want to acknowledge the purpose of the holiday, which is to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. There is a certain logic to this. Holidays are entirely too specific. I propose we sanitize all holidays. Now I'm not proposing that we discontinue the celebrations themselves....

Pathetic Peripatetic...: Saddam Shame

http://patheticperipatetic.blogspot.com/2005/05/saddam-shame.html

Sunday, May 22, 2005. A photograph of deposed Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein in his underwear has been appearing in newspapers around the world since first exposed in the London Sun. Representatives of the U.S. military were barely able to contain their chagrin at the publishing of such unauthorized pictures. The Pentagon issued a statement which read, in brief:. When pressed, the Pentagon refused to confirm or deny the availability of on-the-premises dry cleaning for war-time captives. Silas Prophet is a n...

Pathetic Peripatetic...: A Transaction to Die For

http://patheticperipatetic.blogspot.com/2005/05/transaction-to-die-for.html

Saturday, May 21, 2005. A Transaction to Die For. Have you heard the one about the death-row inmate who wants to delay his execution so he can donate his liver to his dying sister? Here's the punch-line: Dr. Mark Fox, chairman for the ethics committee for the United Network for Organ Sharing. Is concerned about the donor's ability to give "informed consent". The fact that the donation could prolong his own life," the good doctor continued, "could compromise an inmate's decision-making ability. In 1998 a ...

Pathetic Peripatetic...: You May Already Be A Loser

http://patheticperipatetic.blogspot.com/2009/07/you-may-already-be-loser.html

Wednesday, July 22, 2009. You May Already Be A Loser. Since she has been interested in a laptop she asked me if I thought the offer was a deal or not. It only took a glance for me to realize this was a good deal like buying a Rolex from the homeless guy behind Lexington Market is a good deal. What worries me is how many people sent in their voucher with a check for the difference (including a hefty shipping and handling charge). Posted by silas prophet @ 7/22/2009 03:32:00 PM.

Pathetic Peripatetic...: Can you hear me now?

http://patheticperipatetic.blogspot.com/2005/06/can-you-hear-me-now.html

Wednesday, June 08, 2005. Can you hear me now? I think it's finally time for me to wade into the roiling sea of the ongoing cellphone discord. There seems to be a legislative wave sweeping across the country intent on limiting cellphone use while driving. And in public places. So many of the inventions of the past thousand years or so have proven to be both boon and bane to society that pundits are almost always evenly split on their yea or nay with regards to. oh, excuse me. Okay, okay. What? So I was s...

Pathetic Peripatetic...: Eat Must Be First

http://patheticperipatetic.blogspot.com/2005/06/eat-must-be-first.html

Saturday, June 25, 2005. Eat Must Be First. I'm hopelessly drawn to inventive eccentricity and I fully intend to inquire into the genesis of the business' name. But the strange name did bring to mind a similarly structured phrase of wider purview: "All your base are belong to us". For you readers who aren't familiar with the "All your base are belong to us" sensation, the Website, www.planettribes.com. I got quite a kick out of revisiting the madness.
