“Men are pigs,” say the women. But if men are pigs, who is the wolf seeking to sink its jaws into the sweet tasty nutrients that the pigs are? Just as there are three little pigs, there are three little boys. The first one is Nice Guy. The second one is Speed Seduction Guy. The…

“No, I don’t have children!”
This is what I find myself saying quite frequently. When younger, I would get the question of “Do you have a girlfriend?” But now the question is not even that of marriage but, “Do you have any children?” Everyone around me in the workplace has children…yet none of them are married. Scratch that. One woman…
Psychoanalyzing the Bachelorpad
To talk to an associate through AIM, I forgot to turn off the auto-website loading feature. So when AIM loads up, it sends me to some bizzaro-world chick webpage (apparently, the AOL Singles Page). I shook my head looking at the ‘bachelorpad’ article. The most annoying attribute of Western women is how any little thing…
Two Spheres
Two spheres of life are placed upon the Earth. They exist on top of one another. Where one lives in one sphere, that person cannot see the other sphere. These spheres are the masculine and feminine spheres. As men, we have our systems of beliefs, our moralities, and values. All men share similarities that it…
Nice Guy Amuck
From Wikipedia: Duck Amuck is a surreal 1951 animated cartoon produced by Warner Bros. and released in 1953 as part of the Merrie Melodies series and starring Daffy Duck, who is tormented by a sadistic, unseen animator who constantly changes Daffy’s location, clothing, voice, physical appearance, and even shape. Pandemonium reigns throughout the cartoon as Daffy attempts to steer the action…
A Letter From Outside the Matriarchy
Like a happy Pook, I hopped over to my mailbox and found a magical letter! “How can this be, Monsieur Pook? What was so magical about it?” It was the address. The letter came from outside the Matriarchy. Most letters I recieve come from inside the system. I believe this email sums up much of…
Red Flag: Social markers for health analysis?
In this story from the NY Times: New research suggests that people ages 30 to 69 who live alone are almost twice as likely as those who live with a partner to suffer angina, heart attacks, or sudden cardiac death. Oh noes! Read further and you get to this: The best predictors of acute cardiac syndrome…
Pook and the Infinite Monkey Theorem!!!
One of the best rules I ever learned was: “Never argue with an idiot. After a while, people will no longer be able to tell the difference.” What amazes me is how message forums continually erupt with the stupidest arguments ever known. Usually, these ‘debates’ revolve around politics or religion or even sexuality. What amazes…
Wild Rice and Wild Corn
When I meant there was no such thing as ‘Wild Rice,’ I am referring that it has been domesticated before history can accurately record. Man’s influence over rice is very monumental. Hence, you cannot get ‘Wild Rice.’ There is no such thing as rice that hasn’t been genetically modified. Our ancestors have been genetically modifying…
Uptight
Have you noticed how uptight people are these days? It is not so much a ‘political correctness’ as it is everyone becoming uptight (and using political correctness as their ‘reasoning’). If someone makes a joke about something I believe, I try to laugh at it too. I don’t see the point of going nuclear on…
