Slow Death by Dreidel Song Exposure

After eight days of gifts and shekels, there’s only one thing resonating from Hannukah/Hanukkah/Channukkah/Chanakah: JEEZ THAT FREAKIN’ DREIDEL SONG IS ANNOYING.  It’s bad enough that since the dawn of man people have been asking, “What’s a dreidel?” and hearing “it’s a top,” as the reply, to which

Spring File Cleaning/Shredding

I’m going through TONS of needlessly kept paperwork from the past 10 or so years and it’s a real pain in the butt. I wish I didn’t have to shred all of this; a bonfire would suit me fine and I’d not only be finished in about an hour, but I’d also be the envy [...]

Ernie Johnson, White NBA Host…WTF?

Ernie Johnson’s the white guy that anchors TNT’s show Inside The NBA and he’s flanked by Kenny “The Jet” Smith and Charles Barkley, both of whom are former NBA players.  Every now and then, another former player will sit in as a guest host.  Now, I have nothing against anyone making a living, but wh

Respect My Privacy…Yeah, Right

I’m so totally sick of Privacy Policies from credit card companies, phone companies, etc that mean nothing with regards to my private information. They all give us the tag phrase, “we respect your privacy…”, but they don’t. They make it a pain in the ass to prevent your information from being used i

More Bad Parenting…Ugh.

I’m the self-described “World’s Greatest Dad” and although I realize that’s completely inane, I do believe it’s a good approach to at least try to be the best parent, despite the loads of mistakes I’ll surely make along the way.  Parenting’s a bit tough for me since I’d never changed a diaper before

If Your Name is Glenda, Your Parents May Be Idiots

For all you poor schnooks named ‘Glenda’ after the Wizard of Oz character, I have news for you: your parents are idiots. The character is the ‘good witch’ of the South and her name is actually ‘GLINDA’, with an ‘I’ and not an ‘E’. Please contact me if you are one so afflicted; I’ve known [...]

25 Random Things About BeLikeMichael (that you were afraid to ask)

This was a facebook thing, but I always enjoy talking about me (thus, this blog and, well, ALL blogs), so here goes: 1. I know most of the words to Shania Twain’s “Man, I feel like a Woman” and Christina Aguilara’s “Beautiful”. I’m not proud. 2. I’m going to live to 117, but am a [...]

America, Land of the Offended

Alright, it takes a lot to offend me.  I’ve been called pretty much every name in the book and I can take the abuse mostly because I don’t LOOK to be offended.  Somehow, many other people do the opposite and are offended at the slightest hint at anything that can be remotely considered an insult.

Another Reason to Hate Dell PC’s

OK…this isn’t really targeting Dell, per se, but pretty much any computer designer who’s not me.  I’m only picking on Dell because they, like all non-Apple computer manufacturers, kinda suck with the rest.  So I need to hook up speakers to my wife’s Dell PC.  Sure, you say, why not just get a Mac?

Silly Shoppers, “Percent Off Regular Price” Means Nothing

I’ve always maintained that “regular price” means nothing when it comes to shopping.  To say, “I bought this at 50% off regular price” is pointless unless you can actually verify that “regular price” is what something normally sells for elsewhere.  There’s a big scam that’s been going on since the d
