I've just received a Certified letter from The Wall Street Journal ordering that we "cease and desist" our website based on their belief that they are the only dorks in the world who can use the phrase "Daily Journal" when referring to a web site. I consulted a friend of mine who happens to be an attorney and we plan on pursuing the matter. If you'd like to join our efforts (and we need whatever we can get because this is like a David & Goliath feat) please CLICK HERE! E-Mail.

The other day I had this great idea for a journal entry. I told myself that I wouldn't forget it because I didn't have access to a pencil or pen at the time. I'm pretty sure it had something to do with the liquor store I was holding up at the time. We all know just how funny hold-ups can be. E-Mail.

In the year 2005, scientists from around the world will meet in Chicago and determine that weiner dog races are the cause of earthquakes. E-Mail.

April 4, 2001
I just received an e-mail offering me a free pager. Though I'm not sure if I'll accept the offer, I'm a lot more tempted than I was over the offer for a free ganglion cyst I received last week in the mail. E-Mail.

This might be the first time the word "GNU" has appeared in Das Daily Journal. As a special bonus, I'll use it again: GNU GNU GNU!E-Mail.

Ballpark brand hotdogs aren't the only things that plump when you cook 'em... for instance poodles grow to twice their size in a properly preheated oven. E-Mail.

Like most Americans, I really, really love cotter pins. E-Mail.

This is actually the first time I've been able to log in to Tripod for quite some time, so it is a very special occasion. Today is also the first time that the trolls outside my bedroom window have given me a friendly wave when I leave for work in the morning, so I think we can definitely say that it has been a good day. E-Mail.

April 10, 2001
My wife and I just recently found out that we are pregnant. It's pretty big news, since traditionally, the women have the children in society. But we saved up for the operation, and now we are permanently conjoined and we can actually say that "we" are pregnant. E-Mail.

We here at the Journal are strong advocates of Expresso Enemas and I'd like to take a break from the usual joviality to discuss the health benefits of such a procedure. That is, I would if I didn't need to go buy more coffee. E-Mail.

The rumor on the street is that the third installment of CBS's "Survivor" series will be set in an office cubicle. This was supposed to be a joke, but it seems like something they'd really do. Hmmmm.E-Mail.

The price of gasoline is soaring. The other day I paid $1.64 for a gallon of regular grade uleaded gasoline. I used to buy the more expensive premium grade until I finally realized that the bitter aftertaste of regular was easily washed down with a swig from a bottle of anti-freeze.E-Mail.

I've never been one to golf. Perhaps it has to do with my personal distaste for the materialist nature of the game. Either that or the fact that I cannot make contact with the frickin' ball no matter how fat my club is.E-Mail.

Recently unearthed, formerly confidential documents have revealed that the assassination of John F. Kennedy was linked to several large pencil manufacturers. It turns out that Kennedy was about to give a government grant to an upstart Boston-based company with plans to produce the coveted #3 pencils. Alas, the powerful pencil-makers didn't want the public to know what they were missing and JFK was simply in the way.E-Mail.

Kids are great. They just love you no matter what. They love you when you're late getting home from work and they love you when you come home smelling like a dead pig. They're not all that fond of the dead pig, but they still love me.E-Mail.

Yesterday, my boss told the funniest story and I began to chortle uncontrollably...
BOSS: What are you doing?
ME: I'm chortling.
BOSS: What's that?
ME: Well, it's a snorting, exultant laugh or chuckle.
BOSS: I don't like it.
ME: I'm sorry. Perhaps I could simply guffaw.
BOSS: Hmmm...and what is that?
ME: It's more of a hearty, boisterous burst of laughter.
BOSS: Nope. Don't like that either. What other choices do I have?
ME: Perhaps, just a titter.
BOSS: Huh?
ME: It's a restrained, nervous laugh.
BOSS: I like the sound of that. Make a memo. There will be no "chortling" or "guffawing" from this time on--only "tittering."
ME: I'll get right on it, sir.
E-Mail.

I hate to admit it, but it looks like the daily journal is running out of steam. Here it is, April 30 and I have the "responsibility" to fill in entries from April 25 through April 30, entries that even fewer readers will read because I'm writing them in sanskrit. E-Mail.
