QUESTION # 325: STUBBORN ITCH 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Dear Useless Men, I have a persistent itch in that one spot, you know, that spot that 'taint quite my butt hole and 'taint quite my nuts. It's driving me crazy. All day long I have this urge to scratch my taint. This often attracts unwanted stares from passersby and looks of utter disgust from other restaurant patrons. But I just can't stop scratching. It itches so badly. I scratch it when I get up in the morning. I scratch it while I'm in the shower. I scratch it on my way to work. I scratch it while I'm sitting at my desk. I scratch while I'm on the phone. I scratch it after dinner. I scratch it while I watch television. I scratch it before bed. I wake up scratching it during my sleep. I even scratch it while I masturbate. I've tried all sorts of over the counter remedies for jock itch and other types of itching. Nothing seems to work. What do you recommend for this situation? Signed, "Itchy and Scratchy"Dear Itchy & Scratchy, Too often people get caught up
QUESTION # 470: NURSING A BROKEN HEART 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Dear Useless Men,I signed up with a dating service two years ago in February. I have put it on hold several times because I was in school and I had major surgery. I recently was set up with someone from the service. He was 34 years old, tall, good-looking and very engaging when we talked on the phone. However, then we met. He was considerably thinner than I am. I am 5"8 and a size 12. He maybe was 150. I found that very uncomfortable. (I know what your thinking, go on a diet, I am already on one.) I thought it went fine. He paid for my drink and drove me to my car. He was a total gentleman. I am studying to take the bar exam right now so he told me to call him if I have a second. So, I interpreted that is he's interested, but he knows I am busy with this so I call him...right? I called him two days later and we talked a bit. I told him I really enjoyed meeting him....silence on the other end....O.K. not good. He works as a pilot and would be back in town later the follo
QUESTION # 471: TOMMY, CAN YOU HEAR ME 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Dear Useless Men,Why are Tommy Hilfiger's jeans so important that there are T-shirts devoted to advertising them?EricDear Eric,I don't know if you know this already, or, heck, if you even suspect it, but let me tell you the best kept secret in the fashion industry: It's all a hustle. That's right, World. You heard it here first; Tommy Hilfiger is a hustler. I only feel comfortable saying this because behind the anonymity afforded by the internet, I also write from an assumed identity that none but the most clever will ever crack!You see, back in the old West, back when we had cowboys and indians and all that, charlatans would set up tents of oddities in the traveling circuses. Inside you could find all sorts of mundanely weird things, like the duck-billed platypus, or a 0% APR car loan, or the elephant man, or several elephant men riding a platypus while applying for a car loan because, let's face it, platypi aren't the most comfortable of creatures to ride. You would walk
QUESTION # 472: SPELLING CHECK-UP 1970-01-01 00:59:59 A follow-up question to QUESTION # 432: SPELLING VARIANTSDear Useless Men,Follow-up question; why don't yuoz guyz in Canadia spell words the way they're pronounced, like "oot", "aboot" and "agaynst"? Just thought I'd ax.Mr Incredulous Dear Mr Incredulous,Thank you for your question. Whatever it was.I think the spelling you are referring to is related to the questions raised in that famous rap song by Snoop Dogg which we in Canada refer to as "The Dog Called Snoop": "You say eether and I say eyether,You say neether and I say nyther;Eether, eyether, neether, nyther,Let's call the whole thing off!You like potatoe and I like potahto,You like tomatoe and I like tomahto;Potatoe, potahto, tomatoe, tomahto!Let's call the whole thing off!.."Snoop did raise some very pertinent questions with that rap. Or in American, "Snup died rays sum vary gud kestons wit dat rip."The problem in Canada is that we don't have any Rappers to guide us in our language development like you do in the U.S. s
QUESTION # 473: VALENTINE HELL 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Dear Useless Men, I want to get my boyfriend something really special for Valentine's Day. What would you suggest? Last year he gave me a brand new toaster, he's not Mr. Romantic. I was thinking about giving him a box of chocolates even though he's allergic to chocolate. Mrs. Romantic Dear Mrs. Romantic, Since you signed off as Mrs. Romantic, and you are talking about your boyfriend, I can only assume that you are a married harlot. Not that I'm judging your lifestyle or anything. There are lots of really nice women who will spend eternity in Hell out there and I'm sure you are one of them. But, to get to your question, giving your married girlfriend a toaster is really tacky even if she is living a life of sin. Which I am not judging. Because I am sure that the lure of getting extra gifts on days like Valentine's Day is a big temptation to throw away ones wedding vows for. Well, for some women with loose morals anyways. Women who are probably really nice. Like you probably are.
QUESTION # 474: CANDY SPAM 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Dear Useless Men,Hi My name is Rachelle Lacroix and I'm getting in touch on behalf of the National Confectioners Association (NCA) - the candy industry's leading and oldest trade association. As Valentine's Day is quickly approaching, I wanted to pass along some new survey results and consumer tips to share with Useless Advice readers. A new national survey available at www.candyusa.org has revealed that on average men shell out $130 each on candy, cards, jewelry, flowers and dates. That's more than double what women commit to spending. By far men are spending the most; yet only receiving 6 percent of all Valentine's Day gifts! Therefore, in honor of Valentine's Day 2007, the NCA has named men "America's Biggest Sweetheart" While men may open their wallets wide on Valentine's Day, NCA's national survey found that it's children who really "eat up' Valentine's Day, receiving 39 percent of all holiday candy and gifts. The survey also found: · Mot
QUESTION # 475: WHAT'S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT? 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Dear Useless Men,Why do we celebrate Valentines Day?Signed,Reformed... Semi Reformed Chocoholic.Dear Addict,This really depends on who "we" are, now doesn't it? If you are referring to "women", then the answer is pretty clear. Women are all evil and like to see men jump through hoops just so they can have some dying plants and candy, so that you can eat all the candy, and THEN ask us further perilous questions about the shape and size of your body.As Useless Men, we "celebrate" Valentines as a survival technique. The manipulation that we are all accustomed to in our Useless everyday lives is nothing compared to what women all become this time of year. In a rabid frenzy to acquire flowers and candy for our women, we will riot in malls and pay extreme amounts of money for things that will be available at 20% or less not a week later. Why isn't there an orthodox Valentines like there is at Christmas allowing us to wait an extra two weeks to purchase the half price Valentine ga
QUESTION # 476: PARANOID NOID 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Dear Useless Conglomerate,Why are people so paranoid? Don't you think one noid is enough? And whatever happened to the noid, anyway? Do you think his fate is the same as Jimmy Hoffa?Signed,AnnoyedDear Annoyed,Life is a scary thing. Especially when you're useless, having to depend on others for many of life's simplest tasks. The unknown frightens people. Fear of the unknown frightens people even more. But this isn't paranoia. Not until one starts obsessing. And it's a distinct possibility that 51% of the 88% of people with fears are obsessed to the point of paranoia. Can you blame them?There are three things in this world one can always count on: Death, Taxes, and Love Triangles. There is always someone out there trying to "get" somebody else. And if you've ever been to Speedy Muffler, you know "You're a somebody" The question begging to be asked is, are you the "somebody" who's being chased? The chances are good, my friend.Ask any prostitute about this. An 18-year
QUESTION # 477: CANADIAN INTERNATIONAL AUTO SHOW IN TORONTO 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Dear Useless Men, I got a two-part question:a) Why did they change the name of the show from the Toronto International Autoshow to the Canadian International Autoshow, andb) What criteria does the show have to meet in order to hold the title of "International"?MaryDear Mary,Clearly geography is not your strong suit. If it were, you would understand the difference in the names. If you check a map, you will see that Canada is a nation. While Toronto may think they are the center of the universe, with their Leaf Nation vying for a distinct society accreditation like Quebec, it still, officially, is a city.In order for something to be international, it first has to be national, not city-al. A recreational hockey game may be Inter-city-al, since it attracts people from all over the suburbs or the city of Toronto. Having explained that, I think you can now understand what makes the criteria of an "international" title. There has to be nations, which can then inter-mingle. There is
WE INTERRUPT THIS BLOG TO BRING YOU... 1970-01-01 00:59:59 In perfectly Useless form, we asked readers to submit questions about their cars. A group of the Useless Men were headed off to the Canadian International Auto Show, and we were prepared to get you video proof of our uselessness as we tore our way through the show.As it turned out, the video camera got flicked on in the camera bag after we did a bit of test driving in the snow, and ended up with about 40 minutes of black screen and muffled chat. While this seemed to work for Paris Hilton's popularity, it did nothing for us. As we shoveled ourselves out of the 75cm snowfall that hit us this week, preparing once again to attend the CIAS, we uncovered these gems in the archive that had never been answered. It's TRUE! Rare treasures, sent in around February 2006 are just being answered now.If you sent in a question recently, be assured, it isn't lost. Let's say "delayed". We are simply interrupting our regularly scheduled postings to bring you the answers to your AUTO SHO
QUESTION # 478: SUV TIPPING 1970-01-01 00:59:59 In honour of the CIAS, we interrupt our regularly scheduled questions. Enjoy.Dear Useless Men,What does fuel economy really mean and how do I know a car has it? Is a small car automatically better for fuel economy?Which kind of cars are more likely to pass the emissions tests as they get older?Will someone eventually ban those freaking big assed trucks and vans that make driving a car of any kind so bloody aggravating? I so want to carry around a huge mallet to slam them out of the way so I can see into the intersection and know if it's safe for me to turn. They block the whole view. I want to start a new big assed truck tipping sport thing. Leave the cows alone.HaterDear Hater,To answer your first question, it's pretty simple. A car has good fuel economy if the car has a tripometer. All you do is fill up your car with gas, reset the tripometer to zero and drive till the fuel light comes on. Seems pretty easy to track your kilometers per liter. Why would a car manufacturer make it s
QUESTION # 479: SIGN OF THE TAILGATER 1970-01-01 00:59:59 In honour of the CIAS, we interrupt our regularly scheduled questions. Enjoy.Dear Useless Men, I'd like a car with a sign at the back which automatically pops up every time I get a tailgater. Do they have one available? Mine could say, "If you can read this I'm about to start backing up now." Rearview MamaDear Rearview, They most certainly do have such a car with a customizable sign. So you could have "If you can read this, I'm about to start backing up now." Or "Back off, jerk." Or, " Tailgating should be reserved for football and baseball games, and since this is neither, I would very much appreciate it if you would allow more space between your vehicle and mine." Of course, there are a few problems with the use of such signs. First of all, tailgaters have to be able to read to get the message. And since most of them are too busy talking on their cell phones while cooking themselves a meal in their microwaves and watching a movie on their DVD players and either shaving or put
QUESTION # 480: FEATURES OR FLAWS 1970-01-01 00:59:59 In honour of the CIAS, we interrupt our regularly scheduled questions. Enjoy.Dear Useless Men,What are the new features available in the really luxurious luxury cars? I think the last thing that really impressed me were power windows. But those are a pain in an older car once they stop working. I can't go through any drive thru places without having to open my door.Proud Owner of a Bone ShakerDear Proud Owner Of A Bone Shaker,In order to better answer your questions, I made a trip to the Canadian International Auto Show to scope out the new fangled automotives. Thanks to some subterfuge, I was able to sneak in preview the show with the media and was given full access to any and all vehicles in the building. After climbing into many a vehicle, I feel safe in reporting to you that if you thought that power windows were something to fear then you will be dismayed at the new cars coming down the line.Most of the new cars are coming installed with increasing amounts of technology that wi
QUESTION # 481: TIME FOR ANOTHER ROAD TRIP 1970-01-01 00:59:59 Dear Useless Men,So when y'all gonna do a road trip to Kansas City, Missouri? I've got a great car for you. It looks good, runs good and will last you a lifetime. Seriously. Come on.. would I lie to you?Fucus spiralis is just seaweedDear Fucus,When this question originally came in, we probably would have considered a road trip to KC. Who wouldn't want to check out the Harley-Davidson Final Assembly Plant or Science City? Here at home, we have a steel manufacturer and a bay that may hold contaminated fish. Talk about science… But then One Useless Brother and I went on a little road trip to Kipling, Saskatchewan for a weekend. We took our dad along with us, hoping he would spot us some gas money. We decided to leave on Friday around lunch time, driving the 30-hours one way west (more accurately north, then west), to arrive the following day, at 4pm Saturday thanks to the two hour time difference. Doing the math, in order to be home before Monday, we would have had to turn aro
QUESTION # 482: PINK IS THE NEW PINK 1970-01-01 00:59:59 In honour of the CIAS, we interrupt our regularly scheduled questions. Enjoy.Dear Useless Men,Are they bringing out more colours? You can only have so many white, blue, red and black cars really. I see the odd car which is orange or yellow or something else. Are car manufacturers beginning to bring out cars in pink for instance? Pink would be kind of nice.Dear Pink Would Be Kind of Nice, I thought that surely, the girly cars out there would have pink/pastel options. Yes, there are girly cars. Have you ever seen a male car enthusiast look happy while driving a SunFire? I checked the website for the girliest car I could think of: Volkswagen Beetle. Now, I've seen Bugs out there in purple, pink, covered with daisies, with girly options on a girly car. On the VW website, they handily offer a viewing of their newest available colours... Versions of white, black, blue, red, and green (hey, at least there's green.) But I think you're completely out of luck if you want car manufacturer
QUESTION # 483: CLASSIC CAMRY 1970-01-01 00:59:59 In honour of the CIAS, we interrupt our regularly scheduled questions. Enjoy.Dear Useless Men, At what point does a car become a 'classic'? Is it based on age or popularity? If so, is my 1993 Camry a classic yet? Or do I have to keep pushing it and pretending it's still a real car another year or two? Classy AnnieDear Classy Annie, After doing exhaustive research on this subject I finally feel qualified to provide you with the answers you seek. The world of classic cars is actually governed by some very simple rules. Classic Car Daily, which is published once every leap year, defines it best: "A car becomes a classic if it is desired to be collected by classic car collectors and it is more than several years old, which is dependant on the make or model of said car, or if it is of limited availability and is in perfect condition, or is capable of being restored to perfect condition by said purchaser if they have the means and ability to carry out such a restoration, or if said purcha
QUESTION # 484: LOOK UP IN THE SKY 1970-01-01 00:59:59 In honour of the CIAS, we interrupt our regularly scheduled questions. Enjoy.Dear Useless Men,I heard about a flying car. A real thing, not Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. What do they know about that. The guy who told me about it said roads will become obsolete within a few years of it coming out and even know governments are putting less into road repairs cause they know the whole thing will change roads will be useless soon. I wish I could remember the name of the flying car for you. I did write it down at the time cause I meant to look up more about it.Sign me whateverDear Whatever, I'm curious as to where you heard this information about a flying car, because it's old news. Like 1988 old. Many people get their information from traditional media sources like the evening news, newspapers, or Mad-Dog and Billy in the Morning. I, myself, get quite a lot of info from watching TV, as there are many informative car programs to fall asleep watching now. But I understand how difficult it is to
QUESTION # 485: THAT DARN CAMRY AGAIN 1970-01-01 00:59:59 In honour of the CIAS, we interrupt our regularly scheduled questions. Enjoy.Dear Useless Men,I love my Camry but it's getting a bit rustic looking and sounding. Last year, the brakes died, made driving very interesting. The guy who fixes my car (cheap) got mad at me. But it literally did just happen over night. He didn't think it was possible. Now I'm afraid to take the car back again. I can just see him looking at me, thinking "What did she do THIS time?" :DDoes any warrantee cover a car aged, about 13 years. Same owner from when it was new. At least as far as the government is concerned...My only other car was a 1993 Ford Tempo. It didn't survive long enough to be in the running as a classic. Poor thing. Canadian Tire insisted I "retire" the car. Actually they said I would be taking my life in my hands if I drove it again. It was leaking some kind of tar-like substance, had lost a cylinder (it only started with 4 so being down to 3 wasn't all bad). Also, there was a gas leak
QUESTION # 487: INTERVIEW WITH A PRESIDENT 2007-03-02 19:31:00 Dear Useless Men,I think it would be cool if you guys could do interviews. For instance, I bet you could come up with plenty of useless questions to ask George Bush. Could you give us some idea of what you would ask and how you might expect him to respond?Signed,Apolitical PunditDear Apolitical Pundit,I actually have an actual transcript of an actual conversation, actually, if you'd like to see it. Here's how it went.Me: Hey, buddy. Whatcha doin' with that there black marker? Looks official.George: How the heck did you get in here? Security!Me: Ha ha. You sent them all to Iraq, remember?George: Knew that decision would come back to haunt me.Me: It's ok. I'm not a dangerous "sneaks up on you while you're taking a black marker to sensitive documents" kind of weirdo. I just wanna talk!George: I'm ain't no gooder at that.Me: Oh, George. You crack me up. Hey, can I ask you a question?George: Actually, I'm pretty busy. This document written in 1997 about how we'd come up with some
QUESTION # 486: I DRIVE THE CAR THAT MAKES MY MIND GO ARRRGH!! 2007-03-01 22:30:00 This is the final question presented in honour of the CIAS. We return to our regularly scheduled questions tomorrow. Sorry.Dear Useless Men,Can we buy a car which does not have one of those hideous car alarms? I despise them. They only go off when I'm actually in the damned car trying to start it. Someone could steal the car in total silence I'm sure. It's just me that manages to set off the fricking thing. You can not drive with that thing going off. I did it for a few days with the alarm going off each time I stopped at a light or turned a corner or promised the car I was going to turn it into one of those cubes they crush them into at junk yards. I really hate car alarms. That would put me off buying any new car. I would like to know if they let you turn the $#!% off, completely.TechnophobeDear Technophobe,First, let me suggest you go next door to get the twelve-year-old that lives there to come over and stop your digital clocks from flashing 12:00 all day long. With that out of
QUESTION # 489: MAID FOR MAYHEM 2007-03-06 13:55:00 *gasp* Dear Useless Men,(Please ignore the sudden gasp) I have been having problems finding peace at home. It's my maid. She hardly ever shuts up, and whenever you are in need of unwanted comments she pops up out of nowhere and comments on you. It's driving me nuts. Somehow I'd feel better picking up a pick-axe and...well, ya get the drift. Though that would be illegal, I'd probably put acid rain in her coffee anyway. Any help on how to dispose of her properly(w/o blood, please)? Or, where to find permanent masking tape?Sincerely,*wheeze* The pink-i-nator.Dear Pink-i-nator,You may want to get that respiratory problem checked out before you do anything, but let's get to the answer. First off, I would like to congratulate you on your wealth. A maid no less! I'd almost be willing to put up with that kind of abuse in return for having my house sorted out for me. That being said, I can see how her incessant spring-loaded commenting would drive you barmy soon enough. The first thi
QUESTION # 488: DISAPPEARING TENSE 2007-03-05 22:44:00 Dear Useless Men,I started a new job a while back and a guy that i worked with gave me his number. we started texting and he flirted with me and started telling my he was the kind of guy i needed and blah blah blah. we decided to hang out one night and we had fun and we were like all over each other. he stayed the night but nothing happened and the next day i drove him home. now he doesnt talk to me and screens his calls and texts but when i work with him he's normal. what is his deal? why would he bring himself into my life just to disappear? the worst part is, now i cant stop thinking about him. what should i do?In the ShadowsDear In the Shadows, There is a reason why men and women don’t understand each other. I believe it has to do with the fact that women don’t speak English. Or maybe it’s the men that don’t. Either way, we don’t understand. Maybe I’m just old fashioned. I can’t text, since I still use a rotary phone. If I wanted to text the word flirt to someo
QUESTION # 490: JOAN OF SNOW 2007-03-07 21:42:00 Dear Useless Men, I shovelled the snow once this year, enough to know I don't want to do it again. I need a plan which would bring men flocking to my driveway, ready, willing and eager to dig or snow blow it all away for me. Any great, evil ideas? The Snow Princess Dear Snow Princess, The easiest way to get men to clear your driveway of snow is to leave a snow blower at the end of your driveway. There isn't a man alive that would pass up a chance to start up a snow blower and start blowing snow all willy-nilly around a driveway. Once a man starts using a snow blower, the only way to get him to stop is... well, you can't stop him. He will keep clearing snow until he has the whole neighborhood done, or until he has a heart attack, whichever comes first. You would have to keep purchasing new snow blowers for each snowfall which will get really expensive, what with snow blower and funeral expenses the way they are at the present time. So, a more evil, and far less expensive plan woul
QUESTION # 491: MUSICAL SUBWAY CHAIRS 2007-03-08 23:01:00 Dear Useless Men,Why is it on my commuter train home, the hot woman in seemingly painted on jeans and with the glorious cleavage never sits next to me but instead I get the Fat Albert look-a-like who smells like spoiled fried chicken?Have a good weekend.SchadDear Schad,Perhaps she's a lesbian? Or perhaps she converts to lesbianism the instant she sees you out of some sort of survival reflex, then switches back the moment she's off the train?Ha ha! Did you see how I burned you just now? Take that, readership. We don't need your page views anyway. We're HUGE in Prague. Over in Prague, we're practically all they talk about. Did you know that the Praguish have over 200 words for "Useless Advice" alone? And we're number two in Algiers, right after running water, and right above 'underground sewage' which, its citizens have discovered, is a rather tidy solution to a problem that has plagued them for centuries. And what's wrong with sitting next to a fat guy, huh? Fat guys ha
QUESTION # 492: ADULT SNOW PEOPLE 2007-03-09 18:02:00 Dear Useless Men, My boyfriend created several very anatomically correct snow men and snow women engaged in pornographic acts in the front yard of our apartment building. Sadly, no one else thought it was all that funny. The other tenants dragged him away and will only tell me he is buried in the snow out there, somewhere. How can I find him? I don't own a tracking dog or anything like that. He was calling for help earlier but now that I am off the phone with my Mom and have put on my coat and boots and hat and all of that, I can't hear him any more. How much longer till the Spring thaw anyway...? Signed,Baby It's Cold Outside Dear Baby It's Cold Outside, I love these questions. Sex, religious controversy and angry mobs! These are all the elements of a good children’s book. How unfortunate that you and your sociologist of human sexuality boyfriend live in a puritan apartment building, because these days I feel kids need more fun and informative sex education. All the same, th
QUESTION # 493: RETURN OF THE ROOMMATE 2007-03-12 18:43:00 Dear Useless Men,This may sound strange, but I think my boyfriend has a small crush on one of his roommates. On paper, it might look like he wouldn't be attracted (he prefers non-stoner, non-hippie, somewhat slender girls, and she is a curvy pot-smokin' bohemian) but I just can't shake the feeling. He speaks about her so loftily, bringing her up what feels like often. He seems very impressed by her tastes in movies, music, and books, and said of one of her crushes, "Well, girls always seem to go for what's way beneath them." He also had a dream about her one night-- in it I had broken up with him, and she gave him a sexy phone call about how horny she was, then he called the police-- and I swear he had the dream out of guilt for what he's feeling for her. All in all, I'm fond of this girl and we've become friends, but to me the attention he grants her is suspicious. I know for certain he would never actually cheat on me and also that she wouldn't ever go for him, but I still
QUESTION # 494: MUSIC OF THE NIGHT 2007-03-13 16:20:00 Dear Useless Men,Hello. Good dayWho listens to what music?I Love songs Justin Timberlake and Paris HiltonAnonymousDear Anonymous Music Question Asking Person,That's quite a tall order you've placed with the Useless Men. I mean, how many people are you talking about here? Half a dozen, or the entire planet? You KNOW we're useless, right? Regardless of my relative uselessness, a few minutes of exhaustive research unveiled the music listening habits of only 0.00001% of the population. It's not a secret that Britney Spears enjoys Madonna (wink, wink), while Jennifer Vineyard of MTV.com states that Jessica Simpson listens to Bjork. My mom, while not interviewed by any specific magazine, listens to Andrea Bocelli and Charlotte Church. My grandmother prefers classical music such as Bach and Vivaldi, although she will slide a Cyndi Lauper CD in for old times' sake. As for my deaf neighbour, she really cranks the Jeopardy! theme song.If you're in the mood for Eminem, don't come knocking
QUESTION # 495: GRATEFUL DAD 2007-03-14 19:27:00 Dear Useless Men,I'm a single parent to a 2 year old girl. Her father is a deadbeat dad - he's not around, does nothing with her, does nothing for her. So my question is, should I keep him out of her life permanently if he can't be around for her in the first place? Or should I let him come in and out of her life, as he feels like it, though that'll probably mess her up in the long run. What are your thoughts on the situation?Single Mama Dear Single Mama, Though I can't truly understand your situation, and how it must be affecting your daughter, I have seen a similar situation growing up. A childhood friend of mine had a deadhead for a father, and I saw first hand the effects that had. Now this was during the mid - late 70's, early 80's when the Grateful Dead were still widely touring. It's one thing to have a father who is obsessed with something enough to make you feel second fiddle, (The Grateful Dead do not use fiddles and a Deadhead Father would clearly tell you that
QUESTION # 496: TRAFFIC JAM 2007-03-15 13:07:00 Dear Useless Men, Where do you find you are getting your most traffic?AndrewDear Andrew, Most of the traffic on our website comes from the internet. It’s TRUE! Almost ALL of the traffic to UAFUM comes from those strange mystery souls out there on the super-cyber-info-highway. In almost 500 questions, we’ve never had one walk-in visit; not one drive-thru request.At the risk of this becoming a “best of” link fest, about half of our traffic comes from readers and fans that link to us. It is much appreciated. And our deal is that if you write about us, we’ll add you to our links as well. Our biggest fan is a site called Google. While I’m sure the owner of this Google site is a nice guy or gal, (great name, by the way), I’m a little disheartened to see that they have reposted every single one of our posts and made it available on their site by allowing people to search for it.
