A tutoring no-no

When the student’s mother called Martin for an appointment for math tutoring for her son, for whatever reason she told Martin she was divorced. Martin was a little confusd as to why she felt the need to volunteer the information, but he ignored it, and asked for her address. She lived on Toronto’s west end, [...]

(Cocteau Twins) Lyrics to Fotzepolitic — NOT!

These lyrics to Fotzepolitic (or a close facsimilie) had appeared on a newsgroup some years ago. The approximate lyrics are below. I was convinced that these were the actual lyrics, but recently I have looked at some “lyrics” websites, and they all post more or less the same “approximate” lyrics, but to my knowledge, none [...]

How To Be a Self-made-man with no choice

There are the Horatio Algers of this world, who have built for themselves a high degree of success by hard work. Such examples are rare. There are others, however, who have no choice, and have to build their lives up from scratch. They just come from negativity and have nowhere to go but in the [...]

These are the good old days

Worked myself nearly into delirium today, and decided to go home and do other things rather than being driven to distraction by work.
These are the good old days. Other people have them in the past, but I have them now. I see it
in the smiles and hugs I get;
in the smiles and hugs I return;
in [...]

Writing Again

I get this inspiration to write something sometimes, and then my habit recently has been to write it on to any medium that seems to exist. I earlier purchased a hardcover journal where I think the object of it is to write some response to a quote or biblical passage. Like all of this, I [...]

I wannabe Chris: A parody about Chris Crocker Parodies - Updates

Some updates to the story I wrote.
There are some minor changes to my story. (link above)
The Chris Crocker video in question.
His imitators (parody, of course, and not all male). Many of these stray far off the topic of Chris Crocker: 1 2 3 4 5 (Israel?) 6 7 8 9 10 (a hockey player?) 11

Threes (by John Atherton)

I think that I shall never c
A # lovelier than 3;
For 3 < 6 or 4,
And than 1 it’s slightly >.
All things in nature come in 3s,
Like ∴, trio’s, Q.E.D.s;
While $s gain more dignity
if augmented 3 x 3 –
A 3 whose slender curves are pressed
By banks, for compound interest;
Oh, would that, paying loans or rent,

My Geo-Trig Poem

You take tan b and ×
sin(cos(q+y))
and just to make it more complex
÷ cot(Δx)
And so then by csc(Θ)
× angles π, ρ, η
and show that they continue on
by proof with δ - ε.
Once tidied-up you then inspect
and find the answer incorrect
So then you do the question over
Once it’s right you then discover
You were to do the even [...]

Potter and the Common Man

To add to the “Welcome Back Potter” idea, there may also be students in Harry’s class that, you know, may be into illicit “elixirs” or maybe they bought a “potion” they weren’t supposed to have from some wicked witch down the road. There would be cases of potion abuse that would likely involve administrators and [...]

More on serenity

Just Google’d “serenity” and the fourth on a list of over 19 million web pages is to the website for serenity incontinence products. So, that’s how old folks seem so serene. They just buy Serenity off the shelves at Sharper’s Drug Mark and take it home. Clever trick. All that being said, I am not [...]

I wannabe Chris: A parody about Chris Crocker Parodies

I was going to write a parody of Roch Carrier’s The Hockey Sweater, but I didn’t really want to write a real story. I was going to write about a group of people who were all fans of Chris Crocker, in the same sense that some people in earlier generations were fans of Maurice Richard. [...]

Rednecks and Rappers

You’ve seen it. Both wear plumber-butt pants. (In both cases, you therefore need to say “no” to crack). Both groups wear their baseball caps backwards. The women in both groups are oversexed. Rednecks live in trailer parks; Rappers will not hesitate to tell you they come from the Ghetto. Both live in varying degrees of [...]
