micah holmquist's irregular thoughts and links

A clumsy lament

Only in the movies is it better to be Buster Keaton than the straight man.

In case anyone is interested, @micahholmquist is my Twitter handle.

I am not the biggest fan of the format and find following other people to usually be more work than it is worth, but sometimes you have to go where the audience at least might be.

If Tinsel Town really wanted to tell an original story...

They'd give us the tale of an organized crime figure that does not have a soft spot for the children in his family. He doesn't like his son, his daughter or any of his nieces and nephews. And then there are his Godchildren. Man, he hates them with a fire that knows no end. When one of them was getting confirmed, he didn't even show up at the church.

January has come and nearly gone at what seems to be a reasonable pace for 31 days

I have spent my time doing many things, but perhaps most notably taking photographs and enjoying Christmas gifts...

Happy Holidays

Dos anybody else see a problem with this?

Corporations are fast on the way to ruining something as unpure as Black Friday.

 

I bet deer love smart phones.

Little Known Information:

The current culture’s focus on vampires and zombies has allowed ghouls and goblins to have, relative to their admittedly historically low numbers, some of the most productive years in all of their history.

This has lead to a major recruiting drive on the part of ghouls and goblins, who, it should go without saying, formed a united front back in 1991. The current goal is to increase their numbers by over 58% and, in doing so, reach the Next Level of their industry.

How likely is this goal? My analysis reveals that there is a 72.7% chance of success provided they can maintain their current rate of improvement in customer satisfaction.

Here’s something you never hear…
