The truth can finally be told: Ruthie is a man. Some have suspected that she is Geeklawyer’s feminine side coming out to play. Some who have ‘met’ her have not realised that they actually met a well trained highly paid but not yet well known actress, Roberta Trubshaw, who assumed the role in between playing […]

Money does buy you happiness.

November 27, 2006 – 9:56 pm

Geeklawyer always used to console himself with the thought that while money may not buy happiness it did at least have the good manners to provide the most comfortable misery available. Now psychologists say that it may indeed buy happiness. Huzzah!
The psychologists now have one final question to answer: does money buy you love? To […]

October 30, 2006 – 7:01 pm

Since Blair wishes to ingrain the habit of financial self-reliance into children the repellent trend of them American ‘trick or treating‘ is to be encouraged. The only impediment to this is the fear that children may unwittingly knock on the door of a paedophile: a […]

Tomology: loony star - loony money - loony religion

October 18, 2006 – 10:37 pm

Geeklawyer often wishes he was obscenely rich. Until that glorious event comes to happen he will have to settle for merely being obscene. And rich.

Private: It’s puerile Friday again

October 13, 2006 – 1:06 pm

Weird patents

October 8, 2006 – 6:26 pm

Another thing Geeklawyer is a bit of a fan of is Japan. never been there, sadly. Done various Japanese martial arts to a moderate level. Even had a fair stab at learning Japanese before finely honed laziness won out, at least temporarily.
