Truth in Comics
So freakin’ true! Just imagine! The Smurfs theme comes up on the shuffle just when things are getting hot and heavy. Not that I have the Smurfs theme in my iTunes *shifty eyes* Ahem.
Cat’s Guy
Introducing Cat’s Guy!
Yeah, I know. WTF right? Apparently it’s some live-action spoof of the opening and ending of this Japanese anime called Cat’s Eye. Here’s the original:
Man, so much love for Japan. Oh, and Happy Easter!
Come sit a spell in my creepy sheep chair
I can just imagine all the silly jokes made over this chair.
“Did you see that creepy sheep chair? It was baaaaaa-d!”
“Ewe!”
“Two’s company, three’s a crowd.”

When Typos Go Wild
Case #1
I sort of work in a magazine publishing house and we get emails from subscribers. One day…
Male colleague: Check this out. This woman works for a company called Pubic Lice.
*Pause*
Me: Did you just say Pubic Lice?
Male colleague: Yup.
Me: Are you sure?
Male colleague: Yes!
Cue crazy Google session which, as you can probably imagine, yielded lots of nasty results about actual pubic lice and nothing about any advertising company by that name.
Ten minutes later…
Male colleague: Oh! She’s from Publicis, not Pubic Lice! That was a typo.
Me: That’s one hell of a typo.
And there was much hysterical laughter to be had.
Case #2
I used to work in a company that had offices all over Singapore. Once, I had to send some documents to a colleague in a different office so I told her to email her office address to me.
Five minutes later, I received her email. Her office was in Tampines, but instead of Tampines, she had written Tampons in her email. No kidding. I immediately replied to the email and told her to confirm the address. She replied with the same address again, so I called her.
Me: Hey, are you sure you sent me the correct address?
Female colleague: Of course.
Me: Why don’t you check again?
*Pause*
Female colleague: Oh my god.
Me: I thought so too.
Female colleague: This is so embarrassing!
Me: Is it that time of the month? Were you thinking of your shopping list when you were writing that email? Gee.
This was followed by some TMI conversation which I’d spare you from. At the end of the chat, we both realised that I could just dispatch the documents to her through internal mail thus omitting the need for her full address. Major duh.
So boys and girls, always check your emails before you send them out, especially to complete strangers. You don’t want your typos to cause grievous bodily harm such as dying or serious internal bleeding from laughing too much, do you?
