Dave’s a Stand-Up Guy…

So yeah. Those of you who also check all the comments may remember that I was invited to participate in an open-mic Monday night. Propositioned through the blog… how exciting. I received a lot of encouragement from friends far and wide, so I decided to go for it. At first I was nervous about performing [...]

Get Off My Tale…

I think it would be funny if I wrote something and then inadvertently spilled a tube of crazy glue on the papers in some kind of comic fashion, and then accidentally sat on the manuscript in some other comedic manner, so that when someone asked me, “What’s that on your ass?” I could say, “That’s [...]

A Typical Conversation on the Way to Work…

Subaru: Where’d you guys go to dinner last night? Me: A Chinese place called, “Yuan Tung.” Pretty tasty. Subaru: Yeah, that’s an old Karachi favourite. Me: I wouldn’t know. Subaru: No you wouldn’t. Me: Right. Well, it’s across the street from another Chinese restaurant called “Little China.” But I didn’t want to go there because [...]

Have You Seen This Man…

5c48 Originally uploaded by Artsaypunk. Well, for those of you who have been demanding an updated photo, this was taken a few months back. It’s a little pose I like to call “The Evil Jesus.” And don’t worry, just because I’ve finally found a connection that I can post photos from doesn’t mean I’ll become [...]

Rug-Burn…

I love this story. Maybe because, in a strange way, I can relate. A friend of mine, let’s call him James, had been interested in a girl for quite some time. The problem was that they had been friends for years, and he didn’t know if she felt the same way, or if it was [...]

Just Curious…

If a dentist has a bad day, is he allowed to say, “Man, that procedure was like pulling teeth”? Along those same lines, I’ve often wondered if brain surgeons ever shrug sarcastically and say, “Well, it’s not rocket science.”

The Writing on the Wall…

Last night, while out for a stroll, I wrote down all of the interesting graffiti scrawled on one large wall. In retrospect, I must have looked a little strange standing in front of a large wall like a modern day Daniel (my life having its fair share of lion’s dens), madly typing graffiti into my [...]

Where the Rubber Hits the Road…

Condoms make me laugh. Well, not the latex itself, but more so the brand names. And I guess they don’t make me laugh so much as chuckle ironically. It just seems to me that whoever it was that decided on these names just wasn’t using his head (or the right one anyway). Think about it: [...]

Cunning Linguists…

The latest billboard ad from the Karachi branch of Nando’s, the international chicken chain, states: Nandos: A Chick That Looks Good and Tastes Great! Of course, that is an admirable goal, one that I suppose I seek myself, but considering their audience, I’m not sure exactly what they’re going for with this one. If they [...]

Hit Me…

Well this is just plain fantastic. I am very pleased to announce that my blog is the number one hit on Google for the search string “Hooty Pecker.” I could never have dreamed a day like this would come. But overall, it’s really amusing to see what Google searches lead people to my site. One [...]
