Some people insist on using their mouth holes all the time, because they think talking is the only form of miscommunication. I happen to think that speaking out loud is the lowest common denominator, IE the easiest form of miscommunication. Since I've never been a big follower of trends, I prefer to communicate in a … Continue reading Doom Scrolling BFG’s
Bitterness
Copyright Lows BTG’s
A few weeks ago I talked about the death of movies. As I mentioned, the day they died was the moment the disease which shall not be named, COVID, killed not only people, but the movie industry. More specifically, I talked about how Disney was high on its own supply in 2019, with the release … Continue reading Copyright Lows BTG’s
Bitter Son Chips BFG’s
It was early morning and my little family of four was driving to Utah from Seattle for a little family vacation. My son was 3 or 4 years old and he just woke up from sleeping and looked out the window, and proclaimed as if he had never seen the bright ball of light in … Continue reading Bitter Son Chips BFG’s
Bitter Nominative Determinism BFG’s
You'd probably shocked to know that there was a time in my life where there was a lapse in my game playing. I call that phase of my life the dark ages, between the ages of 18 and 26, where I pretended to be responsible and grown up. Ironically, the event that brought the light … Continue reading Bitter Nominative Determinism BFG’s
I Be Dead People BFG’s
It's been trending for more than a decade now, so cosplay isn't just something that nerds do when they go to a convention. It's one of those full-blown career paths, like gaming and influencing, that I never could have imagined as a career when I was young. People don't just dress up for Halloween, they … Continue reading I Be Dead People BFG’s
Homecoming Weak BFG’s
Homecoming's are always so emotional. In just less than a month, my favorite daughter is coming home from her year and a half mission to Austin, TX. I've missed her, because she inherited my razor sharp wit, my stunning introversion, and utter dislike for humans and interactions. She likes her mom much more than me … Continue reading Homecoming Weak BFG’s
Head Resume Bitterness BFG’s
My revulsion for job applications dates all the way back to the early 70's, IE the early days of me. I realized my parents didn't love me when I applied to be my parent's least favorite child and they roundly rejected my application. They used a sophisticated rejection software called crumpling up the paper and … Continue reading Head Resume Bitterness BFG’s
Bitter Feedback BFG’s
Every year in August, I make a trek to Germany to attend a video game conference ironically called Gamescon. When I say I make a trek there, I mean I listen to the a recorded version of the livestream on YouTube while I'm working on boring spreadsheets. The purpose of the conference, and all video … Continue reading Bitter Feedback BFG’s
Word Count BFG’s
I asked Gemini what the average number of words men speak per day vs how many women speak per day. Gemini cracked back with a bit of attitude and said that the differences of words per day used by men and women being very different was debunked by scientific research. Further, Gemini claimed that men … Continue reading Word Count BFG’s
Into the Void BFG’s
I'm really good at predicting the future. For instance, I knew by the year 2000, I would be married, have two kids, a boy and a girl and that my son would be fiscally responsible, and he would appreciate us so much for adopting him, that he would always listen to what we had to … Continue reading Into the Void BFG’s
Naming Rights BFG’s
When I was growing up in South Dakota, I was a huge fan of the Gladiatorial Games. Of course I had my favorite team the San Antonio Savages, and I had my favorite Gladiators, but most of them ended up dying ignominious deaths. Unfortunately, since I lived in Sioux Falls, and my favorite Gladiator team … Continue reading Naming Rights BFG’s
Dependence Day BTG’s
Hey Bitter Gang! (I realized that I haven't named my followers with a clever moniker yet)! Like most American's, I've decided to take tomorrow, which is a Friday, off of work. It's not because I want to, because Friday's are typically the best day of work, because I usually spend the first few hours writing … Continue reading Dependence Day BTG’s
Unstable Network BFG’s
I was born in California to a really old guy named my dad, and a really nice young lady I nicknamed mom. I don't remember much from that first year, other than crying a lot and pretending that I was too weak to change my own diaper. We lived on this street called Sunny Slope … Continue reading Unstable Network BFG’s

If you are ever looking to find a quick and easy way to spiral into a deep depression, I've got the fasted way to do it.

The Invasion of the Midges BFG’s
When I was only 6 or 7 years old, I remember watching a horrible TV movie about a spider invasion. A little girl was on a swing and horde of Tarantula's were crawling just underneath her swing. Clearly, it had a impact on me enough to remember it, but surprisingly, it didn't scar me for … Continue reading The Invasion of the Midges BFG’s

Hey everyone, I know no one really cares, because my stats have been down since 2018, and my blog is so underground that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles can find it, but right now, I am writing you from distant past (Thursday). Let's be honest, lately this blog has been much like a Twitter/X account … Continue reading Manipulation Techniques BFG’s

Three years ago, I went to Scotland and became a Scottish Lord. I didn't know that part of becoming a Scottish Lord, was all these Scottish Lord responsibilities.

After Math BFG’s
When I was living in Long Island, New York, I have a core memory of a particular day at school. One of my co-students got sick with this mysterious disease that freaked everyone's parents.

Industry Plant BFG’s
For some reason, there are people in this world that like to garden. Some say it's because they like to get fresh vegetables from their garden. Others say it's because they like digging in dirt. Still others say they it's their therapy, or their way of relaxing. I have counterpoints to each of those terrible … Continue reading Industry Plant BFG’s
Soft as the Other Side of the Pillow BFG’s
Most of my opinions are unpopular, but this is one that most people oppose. I like Monday's waaaay better than I like Tuesday's or even Wednesday's. I've talked about this before, but it was 13 years ago when I started this blog, so I think I can duplicate an opinion every once in a while. … Continue reading Soft as the Other Side of the Pillow BFG’s
