Angry Stockbroker Suffers Myocardial Hand Cramp

The Angry Stockbroker is busting his hump on Mount Funny this week but it's hard work. I got shows to do, a kid to raise, and a cat to kick. Yes, it's true. Sometimes I have to pull my head out of the Ha Hole and actually live my life. This means I'm cutting down to one or two posts a week plus the occasional review, recommendation or blasphemous horoscope.

So here are The Angry Stockbroker's Tips for a Happy Web LIfe:

Go to Payback is a Picture Go right now. This site is inspired evil. People send in embarrassing pictures of ex's who done somebody wrong and we're the lucky mugs who get to see them. Public pain always makes me uncomfortable but somehow I'm ok with this site. Be careful, kiddos. There's occasionally nudity. So don't log on at work. But visit it today before this site goes through the roof and his server crashes.

Next time you feel like calling your best friend to whine about your parents we invite you to visit Parents Behaving Badly. If you ever wondered why some kids turn out the way they do go to this site and find out why. Mothers who give their babies cocaine, couples who have sex in front of their pre-teen children, yes it's all here in in it's bloggity glory. Be careful, it's nasty and depressing. I don't recommend reading more than a story or two at a time. But if you're a parent, like me, you can always make your kid read it to show him how much worse it could get if he doesn't do the dishes.

Lastly, If you're looking for interesting news items with well-written personal commentary I recommend Count Ramblings. I don't know how long he's been blogging or writing in general but all this stuff is well written and interesting. That may seem like light praise but I tell you it is a rare blogger whose work I can stand to read past the second sentence.

Plus, he weeds through the chaff to find just the perfect story to highlight. No need to read 17 screens of Britney's binge drinking or Paris's autoerotic sex fantasies. Count gives us the stories we need to riled up over and intersperses some cool personal vignettes.

It says in his bio that he writes and maintains 9 blogs. How the hell he does this is beyond me. He must have three heads, four arms and a band of typing midgets to get all that accomplished. He is clearly nine times the blogger I am.

That's all for now. Come back in a day or so for the promised funny.

Don't forget: The Angry Stockbroker loves links! Feel free to link, review, recommend, and pass on the ol' URL to anyone with a fully functioning brain stem.

This is the only job I'm qualified to do
besides writing jokes

Cutting back?

Say it ain't so!

Well, you know, you gotta take a break now and again. I haven't seen the sun on a month and my hands look like Bob Dole's with a cold front coming in.

I also want to make sure the writing is a good as possible. Think of each post as a little funny truffle to suck on for a couple of days. Yeah, that's it. Suck on a truffle and think of me.

Well, I for one will miss your daily banter. Its good stuff. I figured you had the staff of David Letterman writing your stuff. No other way you could manage your full book of business and family and write so well!!

Thanks Miss Trade. I appreciate that. I'll be posting as often as possible. So don't think you're completely rid of me.

By the way, I just watched your Karl Rove gangsta rap video. It's a good thing I don't have any guns in the house or I'd have the barrel of one in my mouth right now.

Thanks for the props. You really should reconsider cutting back. You're just too damn funny. I'll lend you some typing midgets if you need them. To be perfectly honest, they're hard to deal with and there's talks of unionizing. I suspect they're trying to over compensate for something...
