Amusing

What I love most about December 25th, apart from the free gifts as a result of the amusing bastardised confluence of Judeo-Christian mythology and capitalism, is that it signifies exactly one week until the first day of the new year. I realise that calendars are arbitrary quantitative methods for recording the passage of time, but [...]

Someone finally asks everyone’s favourite red-body-paint-and-horn-wearing graphic design entrepreneur and general man-about-town Normal Bob Smith a most burning question. I just wanted to ask if you are a religous man, like catholics or christians. Perhaps I’m being optimistic, but you think they would’ve figured it out by now…

Want to fit into that little black dress in time for that date? Want to be able to walk up that hill without being puffed? OK, here it is. The last diet advice you’ll ever need. For the sake of brevity (and future possible copyright enforcement), call it the Edo Diet. It’s never failed. Two [...]
