New Postage Stamps Licked: Just the Facts, Ma’am

By EliKen on Thursday, May 3rd, 2012 | No Comments

  Today in the Curmudgeon offices, it is extremely quiet but not narcoleptic. Why, I do not know. Normally the place is full of laughter, grousing, whispered conversations, the occasional sob, and high-volume cursing like a fishmonger’s wife. And so it was that instead of working, I tuned into the Opera channel and a production [...]

Saudis Flog Men and Women for Mingling

By EliKen on Wednesday, May 2nd, 2012 | No Comments

Here in the relationship conducive offices of The Curmudgeon, I don’t discourage mingling between the sexes. Oh, I’d prefer if employees didn’t get to heavily involved with each other, but what are you gonna do? Ban it? Come on, that doesn’t work. Not so in Saudi Arabia, where recently Men and Women were flogged and [...]

Here in the offices of the Curmudgeon, we are hopeful but not necessarily emboldened by President Obama’s announcement today that he was withdrawing the troops from Iraq by the end of August, 2010.

The Dancing Man

By EliKen on Saturday, April 28th, 2012 | No Comments

It’s a different kind of day here in The Curmudgeon Offices, as, for a change, we are reporting on a happy story. That’s instead of my normal negativity and cynical observations and thinly veiled sexual references. Today, we are celebrating The Dancing Man. First we walked the walk, then talked the talk, and now we [...]

By EliKen on Friday, April 27th, 2012 | No Comments

Here in the secretive offices of The Crusty Curmudgeon, it is something like living in a spy thriller, so imagine our maniacal thrill when we learned the U.S. Navy was going to build submarines for hot chicks. It’s just like a James Bond movie, and natch, the subs would belong to SPECTR. But in this [...]

They Are Watching You: Fear of Facebook Privacy

By EliKen on Wednesday, April 25th, 2012 | No Comments

Here in the convivial offices of The Curmudgeon, we are a social company. Lots of company parties and whatnot. Many of the employees share personal information on Facebook, MySpace, & Twitter, though why anyone would want to know that Bobby threw-up the sushi he ate for lunch escapes me. When President Obama was asked by [...]

By EliKen on Tuesday, April 24th, 2012 | No Comments

Here in the highly fashionable offices of The Curmudgeon, we have an open dress policy. Not just casual Fridays, but casual everyday of the week if you feel like it, or dress up big time if that floats your boat. Without exception, the ladies wear comfortable shoes, some even wearing tennis shoes, which is what [...]

It’s Time for My Endorsement Deal

By EliKen on Monday, April 23rd, 2012 | No Comments

Tiger Woods is the first athlete in history to bank $100 million in a year. That’s a lot of balls. The astrological sum is thanks in part to a raise he finagled out of long-time endorser Nike. The deal is this: Nike gives Tiger up to $100 million to promote its products for a further [...]

Man Rents Closet, Woman Lives in One Undetected

By EliKen on Friday, April 20th, 2012 | No Comments

Here in the spacious but not cavernous offices of The Curmudgeon, we are amazed at what people will pay and go through to find someplace to live. The most recent example of closet camping comes from Delray Beach, Florida, where Sergio Santos rents a closet to live in – like an apartment – for $150 [...]
