OK… I’m trying not to eat a bunch of fast food these days but on a rare occasion I’ll actually stop through the drive through and on an ever rarer occasion will I step inside the store. One question: What the hell is up with the napkin dispensers in these places? I’m looking for 1 napkin… maybe 2. Invariably I reach in and one of two things happens.
- I scrape the hell out of my hand/wrist trying to reach up and grab a napkin.
- I get a big wad of about 30 napkins and the dispenser is left looking like… Continue reading
I’ve been a Star Wars fan for as long as I can remember. I grew up with the original trilogy to this day those movies have shaped my geekdom in many ways. The prequel movies came out and like just about every other Star Wars fan I was ecstatic to once again see this universe on the big screen.
I’ve written in the past about how based on those prequel movies I’m done defending George Lucas’ movies. I’ve also talked about how I’m rather on the bitter side that my childhood is being raped by all of these remakes… Continue reading
I’m not sure how I get myself into these long, drawn out sagas. If you read my recent post about Mint.com, then you know I’m none too happy with them these days. Just thought I’d give you a bit of an update.
At the tail end of that post, I’d received a follow up email from Mint thanking me for my message. A couple of days later, I got this gem:
Thank you for contacting Mint.com.

Like just about everyone out there, I’m always looking to find an extra buck and I’m concerned about the financial future of my family. To that end, I decided to get a better look at my total financial picture and signed up for Mint.com. If you’re not familiar with Mint, it’s a site that allows you to securely pull in all of your account information so that you’ve got an at a glance view of your finances. This includes your credit cards, mortgages, loans, debts, etc. In concept it’s a great idea. Unfortunately, Mint.com can’t get their shit together.… Continue reading
One last LeBron-centric post and then I’ll be done on the topic for the foreseeable future.
- People say that Gilbert’s response makes him look ridiculous. Personally I think it makes him look like an owner who gives a shit. Sure he may scare away a couple of potential free agents with that blast, but I’m guessing in the end it may show how passionate he is.
- I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… I’m not upset that James is leaving Cleveland. He’s earned the right to go where he feels he’s in the best situation. What I take… Continue reading
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know that tonight LeBron James went on ESPN during prime time and told the world that he was going to be leaving Cleveland for greener pastures with the Miami Heat. If I’m being honest, the decision didn’t really come as much of a surprise to this Cleveland fan. I can’t blame James for wanting to put himself in the best situation. That’s his right not only as an athlete, but also as a businessman. What I can and DO fault him for is the method in which he carried out he defection… Continue reading
LeBron James is going on ESPN tonight to tell the world where he’ll be playing next year. I’m to the point now where I’m completely sick of the sports angle of the story and quite frankly I just want to get it done with. However, there’s another angle to this story that folks in Cleveland aren’t really talking about, and honestly for the city of Cleveland it’s probably more important than bringing a championship here. Economic viability.
According to Reuters, Cleveland is already the “Most Miserable City In The USA” – and that’s WITH King James here leading… Continue reading
So Lebron James is going to have a press conference Thursday evening at 9:00 on ESPN to let us know where he’ll be playing next season. As a lifelong Cavs fan I can confidently say, “Who fucking cares.” I can’t even begin to tell you how sick of this story I am. For MONTHS now I’ve been subject to hearing about this story every single day. Every day since he and the rest of the Cavs choked away their chance at a championship that is. Every day since LeBron simply stopped playing.
Is he a great basketball player? Sure he… Continue reading
Folks… when you work in an office environment and you drink coffee, have some decency and make a pot if you take last cup. It won’t kill you. This simple act of brewing a pot of coffee will certainly NOT kill you, and will make other coworkers (who are looking for coffee) want to kill you less.
Oh, and don’t think that just cause you don’t take the last 4 drops of you’re off the hook. Dump the rest of that shit out and make a new pot. Again, it won’t kill you. For those of you out there who’ve… Continue reading
Thank God It’s The 3rd
As everyone knows, November 2nd is Election Day. 406 is and always will be an apolitical blog so don’t worry… I’m not able to celebrate or complain about yesterdays results. What I am going to say is that I’m SO damn glad that I don’t have to hear about it any more.
