another joke

{discussing how X should set up a reunion website.}

{X}: I only have contact info for like 2 or 3 of the people though

{X}: but I suppose one can start somewhere

me: Yeah, friends of friends of friends.

me: Only problem is that you're guaranteed to find jerks within 4 degrees.

me: Maybe you could make it a FB app or something. Or just a FB group.

{X}: well, jerks are people too

me: You're so tolerant.

[...]

me: ah, here's where I last said something like [what we were just talking about.]

me: Wow, I sound like a jerk.

{X}: no kidding

{X}: and only 0 degrees of seperation

"Birth Month" on Facebook

As I turned 32 this year (or 0x20 in hexadecimal), I decided I wanted to emphasize this occurrence on Facebook by updating my status daily, each time with an absurdly grandiose (or sometimes just absurd) status update. And now I'd like to post them here as an archive, and because I need to put something on my blog.

It was surprisingly annoying having to come up with new and strange updates every day. I missed a few - one for laziness, one or two for sickness - and ripped off the Simpsons and other favourite joke sources here and there as well, though as far as I can tell a fair number of these are original. As well, it's pretty clear I ran out of gas near the end.

Some of the comments I got were encouraging. Some people just appreciated the random jokes, but my favourite comment by far was "I get a sense of how it must be to live in North Korea".


Mar 29: Andrew Chang says birth month celebrations commence next week. Please clear your calendars.

Mar 30: Andrew Chang says birth month celebrations commence this Wednesday. Counting down: 2 more days...

Mar 31: Andrew Chang says birth month celebrations commence this Wednesday. Counting down: 1 more day. This is not a drill, repeat, this is not a drill.

Bivalve molluscs are funny

(This is pure silliness)

About a week ago, I was feeling happy for no particular reason and so I put "Andrew is happy as a clam" on my Facebook status. Then, a couple of days after that, I got sick, so I thought I would write "Andrew is sick as a dog", but at the last moment I decided to write "Andrew is sick as a clam" instead. Then, later in the week I felt a bit better, and thus "Andrew is as happy as a somewhat sick clam". (Followed, for the record, by "Andrew is as happy as a somewhat sick clam who's full of barbeque", "Andrew is trying not to be shellfish", and then "Andrew feels as healthy as a clam!".)

The point is that the phrase "sick as a clam" just amuses me no end, and I can't even quite figure out why. I know this can't amuse anyone else as much as it does me, but I still want to twist a few other common animal phrases ("clever as a fox", "strong as an ox", "proud as a peacock", and so on).

Fun at work

Co-worker 1: Stop breaking the offline build!

Co-worker 2: Well, stop breaking the online build!

Me, walking by: We don't negotiate with terrorists!
