“5 Things That Are Hard To Get Now!”

05.07.2022 by Fred Berman //

According to the curmudgeonly Gurus at the AARP, “surging demand and inflation are driving supply chain woes” on these products:

  • Eggs
  • Medical Supplies
  • Baby Formula
  • Garage Doors
  • Cars

We would gracefully accept this difficulty if we could get the more of the world’s scarcest commodity; TRUTH!
OOOOOHHHHH! BURN!!!  Hahahahahaha!
If you can’t handle controversy you clicked into the wrong place!

I’m Calling in Sick Today

05.06.2022 by Fred Berman //

I truly feel terrible. It’s so bad I had to cancel my mani-pedi and bonus elbow loofah treatment.  And with less than 24 hour notice they charged me a cancellation fee.  On top of that, there are no appointments available until the end of June.  That means 4 weeks of flaky elbows.

Life is hard.

Hurra! Hoy Es El Cinco de Mayo!

05.05.2022 by Fred Berman //

No Estúpido:
No es el día de la independencia de México como la mayoría de los Americanos piensan.  Ese día festivo es el 16 de septiembre.
Es la celebracíon de la Victoria de México sobre Francia en la Batalla de Puebla!

Perhaps only a minor holiday in Mexico, we Americans always appreciate a reason to justify getting drunk and stuffing your face with guacamole!
(This “Teachable Moment” brought to you by these sponsors!)

Intercourse, Sloppy Seconds, Rear Entry and Going Down

05.04.2022 by Fred Berman //

A friend had me over for dinner as we both have busy lives had not spoken for some time.  Our verbal intercourse took an unexpected turn when I was offered seconds of the spectacular Spaghetti alla Puttanesca.  While the original serving was quite beautifully presented, the dish had become messy and I was served sloppy seconds.  My friend suggested we leave it for the maid and get dessert at a nearby bistro, famous for an extraordinary concoction known as a Chocolate Orgasm. It was quite late and although the Mons Veneris Bistro was closed to the public, regular patrons were allowed to go down on the rear steps in the alley and access the rear entry through the back door.

And for those that think this is a long way to go for a chocolate dessert, you obviously never had an orgasm.

Don’t Believe Everything You Think!

05.03.2022 by Fred Berman //

     Here are a few misconceptions, things many believe that are not true, from the book by David Kida.
     Do you believe you can consistently beat the stock market if you put in the effort?  That some people have extra-sensory perception? That crime and drug abuse in America are on the rise?
     Many people hold these beliefs even though research shows they are not true.  The lies about recent election results ring a bell?

So if you think these Daily Inflammation posting are simply a whining rant by an aging curmudgeon you are wrong.  This is High Art; soon to be available on Non-Fungible Tokens at an exorbitant price.  Start saving your pennies!

4.5 Million People Quit Their Jobs in March

05.02.2022 by Fred Berman //

     On top of that there are currently a record 11.5 Million job openings in the United States.
     I would happily go back to work but so far Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates and Elon Musk have failed to meet my salary demands.  Besides that, I just added Hulu to my streaming channels so I am quite busy with important matters.  Retirement is more work than you might think!

The Joy of the “Delete All” Button

05.01.2022 by Fred Berman //

I currently have 943 emails in my inbox of which 711 are unread.  I am about to experience the immense joy of becoming current with one keystroke.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! 

I am now current! (Sorry if you were waiting for a reply…you might try resending…not much point though).

I Narrowly Avoided Falling into the Abyss

04.30.2022 by Fred Berman //

 I knew the signs.  I was about to go down the deep, dark emotional tunnel: the shakiness, the feelings of isolation, the inability to function in the world.  So when I started to feel the onset of that black hole, I recognized it immediately; the hate and lies.
I quickly turned off Fox News and my sanity returned.  For the sake of the world I suggest you do the same.

The Torture of the Oat Cracker Conundrum!

04.29.2022 by Fred Berman //

     When only a cracker can fill the void on a snack tray or party platter there is only one sane choice.
Bob’s Red Mill Oat Crackers set the standard for thin and crisp snacking.  Healthy?  Perhaps, but these delights have become the benchmark for quality wafers everywhere. Bob does his best to cover the wide spectrum of varying tastes by offering 4 types of these wonders.
      But what if the enormous wealth gap in our country, fueled the greed and sociopathic drive of insatiable billionaires so greatly diminishes our purchasing power that we, the economically challenged, are forced to choose only one flavor; one that must be consumable by all at our communal table?  The four from which must choose from these are:

  • Classic: Plant based, made with whole grain oats.  Yum.
  • Rosemary: Classic with the sweet and sultry herb titillating your tongue!
  • Sesame: Classic with a delightful mix of sesame and poppy seed.
  • Jalapeno: Classic with a jolt of hot pepper; Muy caliente!

Sure there are many places where we can spend our time and energy to help those less fortunate.  But where do you direct your efforts if The Oat Cracker Conundrum is your cause célèbre?  
Oh dear!  An enigma within a conundrum.  Now what?

“I Have Seen the Future and it is Pizza!

04.28.2022 by Fred Berman //

The US pizza market is expected to reach $54B by 2023, and pizzerias need to adapt to keep up with growing demand.  Thank Heavens the first fully automated robotic pizzeria pod, the “800º GO” can assemble and cook up fresh artisanal pizza in just 3 minutes.
Low operating costs and a compact 40 sq. ft. model, 800º GO pods may double the profit margins of traditional pizzerias.

This is one bit of science even numbskull anti-vaxxers can comprehend; faster pizza delivery!
Amazing, isn’t it, this thing we call life?
