Taiwan On - The Blog: I Got Nuthin
http://taiwanontheblog.blogspot.com/2009/09/i-got-nuthin.html
Taiwan On - The Blog. Monday, September 7, 2009. I haven't posted in a long while, and it really bothers me. I want to write but nothing comes to mind. Actually, it's pretty scary. And of course I'm sure it bothers all my fans out there. I wrote a piece that was a self-mock (after reading the mockable.org self-mock) but it turned out to be a bit too personal. So I put that in the vault. Step 1: Things in our division aren't going as well as hoped. Stockholders are angry. Step 8: Go to Step 1. Or somethin...

Taiwan On - The Blog: The Mess that is Texas
http://taiwanontheblog.blogspot.com/2009/07/mess-that-is-texas.html
Taiwan On - The Blog. Saturday, July 25, 2009. The Mess that is Texas. I was walking down the street today, enjoying the tourist rabble that infest, um, visit Danshuei. Every weekend, when a dude walked by with a "Don't Mess With Texas" t-shirt. WTF. I guess a lot of Taiwanese folk visit Texas because, I dunno. If you had to choose one state from the US of A, why would you choose Texas? Because it is an upgrade from Oklahoma? Texas can be messed with on several fronts. To wit:. 2) The Alamo. You lost.

Taiwan On - The Blog: Mexican Hookers and a Donkey Show
http://taiwanontheblog.blogspot.com/2009/07/before-i-launch-into-particularly.html
Taiwan On - The Blog. Wednesday, July 8, 2009. Mexican Hookers and a Donkey Show. Editor's Note: The title of this post does not, in any way, reflect the content of the post. It was inserted at the last minute in order to increase search hits. And it is pretty friggin' funny. Humming the Star Spangled Banner.). One day we decided that the best use of our stash would be to blow up a frog. Yes! That would be the coolest thing ever! Imagine frog guts flying everywhere! Well this toad was not going to be abl...

Taiwan On - The Blog: It is Lingering. Man is it Lingering.
http://taiwanontheblog.blogspot.com/2009/07/it-is-lingering-man-is-it-lingering.html
Taiwan On - The Blog. Tuesday, July 28, 2009. It is Lingering. Man is it Lingering. I am sure that almost every person alive today (except Sean Hannity) has experienced the sensation of having a song "stuck in my head". Perhaps this did not occur in earlier times. I can't picture Attila the Hun walking around humming Hall and Oates "Your Kiss is On My Lips". But nowadays it seems to be perfectly normal. First, the band name. What kind of lame band name is "The Cranberries"? Second, the band. Where do...

Taiwan On - The Blog. Monday, July 20, 2009.

When do you need them? Response Rec...

Taiwan On - The Blog: Will Shortz is a Male Reproductive Appendage
http://taiwanontheblog.blogspot.com/2009/08/will-shortz-is-male-reproductive.html
Taiwan On - The Blog. Monday, August 3, 2009. Will Shortz is a Male Reproductive Appendage. I love crossword puzzles. I am fairly good at solving them. But living in SouthEast Asia has gotten me a bit off my game. 1 Across: "Show-off". Will's answer - HOT. No really, I cheated and looked at the July 24 solution to the July 23 puzzle. Will actually thinks that HOT means "Show-off". 4 Across: "Manx cries". Will's answer - MEOWS. Manx's (sp? 16 Across: "Like some flocks". Will's answer - OVINE. Fine...42 Ac...

Taiwan On - The Blog: The Grammar Police
http://taiwanontheblog.blogspot.com/2009/07/grammar-police.html
Taiwan On - The Blog. Wednesday, July 22, 2009. Thanks to Shiny Rod for the inspiration for this blog entry. There are those who take it upon themselves to tsk tsk at our grammatical errors. Even MS Word has a grammar checker (which is one of the signs of the apocolypse). To them I say “Take it down the hall to someone who gives a shit.”. If the meaning is clear, then get out of my grill. Here are some examples:. Good vs. Well:. But there is a gray line. "Good" and "Well" are sometime used interchang...
