Ask Joel

Chewing, screwing, hand-wringing

Yesterday, I ate a sandwich. It was at one of these hippie places that don't pressure you to pay right up front -- the end result of which was, inevitably, walking out in a food coma without paying. This place is a long way from my house -- too far to go back and give them the $9 I owe them. Is it their loss for not demanding currency, or am I a cheap, thieving prick?

Dear Joel

On Dignity

Dear Joel,

My girlfriend has to make the choice on whether or not my children end up in a bucket or a carriage. Either way, I'm left with the bill. Sure, people are quick to say there are always options, but I'm not about to start punching my girlfriend in the stomach, and I doubt she'd be willing to trade in our apartment for one with walls coated in lead paint.

Dear Probl-O-Matic,

How long is too long to wait to pee? One hour? Two hours? I've definitely gone over four hours, but one time when I was going for three, I got mugged and peed all over myself.

Dear PENUS,

DEAR JOEL

Dear Joel,

I'm not germ-phobic, but I am really squeamish when it comes to moldy food, or even the slightest possibility of my food having mold in it-which means that I throw out a lot of perfectly good food. I've always been this way, but my paranoid tendencies have gotten worse over the past two years, ever since I took a big sip of Nesquik that was full of weevil carcasses. How do I get over my contamination fear?

Sincerely,

Nestlé Sick

Attention Artists! Stop the Orphan Act!

By weeklydig on Mon, May 5, 2008 12:23 pm

Two bills were submitted to congress at the end of April — one to the House and one to the Senate — called the Orphan Works Act of 2008. Congress is looking to have this act passed and signed into law by George Bush by June 8, 2008, less than two months after it was introduced.

 

In a nutshell, this act may put many of you creative people in a tight spot when it comes to copyrighting your images and jeopardize long term royalties.
