Right after people get their first jobs and start making money, they go through this phase I call the “Batman Phase”. Basically, people start to think they are playboy millionaires, and start to wonder what they can do with all this extra cash that they have lying around. How people spend that cash is...
I have a friend who recently got engaged. I did send him my deepest condolences, but he would have none of it, because he was delusional with happiness. This delusion can often be very dangerous. I tried to warn him, but it turns out that I was too late, as he had made an...
Back when I was a kid, I used to love to play cricket. It was awesome fun, but the cricket ground was too far, so we used to play in the street. Our street was a small one, with houses on either side. This meant that most of the playing area was in front...
It’s a fantastic Saturday afternoon. I’m horizontal on the couch with a great comic book. The Wife: “Do you want to clean the ceiling fans?” Me: “Not one bit” And I returned my nose back into the adventures of Asterix, just as he was about to thrash up Julius Ceaser’s bodyguards. The comic book...

Update: Before/After image added at the end! The Wife ordered me to get a haircut the other day. I usually follow orders, but with this particular order, I was hesitant. You see, I hate going to barbers. I have this (somewhat unreasonable, but highly plausible) feeling that barbers are agents of an alien army,...
We eagerly popped in the Basic Instinct Video CD into the computer driver, and eagerly started up the computer to watch what was rumored to be the greatest movie of all time. But the computer just frustrated us. It was too slow to...
Back when I was a kid, I used to get a lot of toys as gifts, but they never used to last. I loved opening up my toys to see what’s inside them. My dad used to get me toys, and I used to pretend to play with them for a while until my...
