We’re not Here
It had never come up like this before.
“Hey, do we know the Scams?”
“What”
“The Scams. One of them has the first name Illegal.”
That was what the caller ID was actually showing, “Illegal Scam.” Usually it says “Unknown Caller” or “Wireless Caller” or just lists the city where the call is supposedly coming from. Not this time. It was actually telling me who was on the other line. An illegal scammer.
Where’s Rob Rogers?
It really started to sink in around March, when the Post-Gazette changed the entire comic’s section. I had been noticing some changes, like moving columnists from page two to the back page, which I found odd. But, the comic’s section was a total makeover and not for the better.
There’s really been nothing in that section worth reading on a daily basis since “Calvin and Hobbes” stopped. Still, there were things like “Tundra” that were funny on a consistent basis. That was one that was removed and replaced with a lot of…Um, let’s say crap.
Can’t Even Spell Bee
It was a week of words. Words that got people into trouble and words that needed to be spelled correctly. It all started when Rosanne Barr put out a racist tweet which she blamed on Ambien. Social media was quick to point out that one of the side effects of Ambien was not racism.
“May cause headaches, dry mouth, vomiting, dizziness and being able to see many fine people amongst the Neo-Nazi’s.”
Let people know how you feel without saying a word. Shirts now available, items for sale at WhatAggravatesMe.net…It’s right there in front of you. Don’t aggravate me!
