Odd Todd

[dragonlady7]

This so totally rules.
Odd Todd is a guy who made a website about getting laid off after the dot-com boom, and about being unemployed. It's amusing. Dave loves it.
He has a pen pal. People send him letters. He puts them on his website.
By far the most amusing is Mr. Deng.
Mr. Deng is Chinese. He works in a factory and makes shoelaces.
He also sends post cards.
His English is staggeringly good given that he's a Chinese factory worker. But it's still, well, he's still a Chinese factory worker.

Here is one of his postcards.

I am Mr. Deng from Suzhou China!

I love the last line.

But I can never tell whether he's kidding. Here's another one.



All right, having deluged you all with posts today, i go now to sit in the Club and be bored and sad. I decided I wasn't that sick after all, and will just sit in the back room writing about G&E anyway. Might as well do it there and get paid minimum wage as sit here and not get paid and incur the ire of those with better things to do.

"When Chairman Mao stepped into the children he got very excited. Chairman Mao always loved children, swimming, and not killing people."

I am about to disintegrate from laughter.

And bummer: I voted for calling in sick. But then, I always vote for skipping work. Like right now, I'm physically at work but am still skipping...

Yeah, I only went in because usually working in that location is just like not working at all, but I was wrong today and now I'm all full of the goo and the tired. (However, am also much more full of the money than I would've been, so that's not so bad.)
