Recitals- The smallest and cheapest, but often the most artistically rich type of musical event. The recital is usually a solo performance featuring a virtuoso musician-or a rank amateur who can't get any other gig. The small-scale venue is an intimate setting ideal for maximizing the entertainment experience. The only problem is when someone farts the sound and smell is much more...
Plays & Stage Shows- Live theater is a lost art that was quickly dumped as soon as motion pictures took root in society. Stage shows were big way back in the days of Shakespeare but nowadays guys shake their own spears at a different kind of show-the strip show. As antiquated as it is the stage show still has a certain appeal, which would seem strange until you consider the IQ of the a...
Concerts- The idea of the concert originated hundreds of years ago, way before there was a medium to record music. The only way they could listen to music was to hear it being played live. Concert promoters delayed the development of recording devices for centuries in a conspiracy to protect their operations. It was a racket that marketed music like a rare commodity and thwarted cr...
Movies- Motion pictures have come a long way since Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton first bored us with their silent films. And let's not forget the Keystone Kopps who brought shame and disgrace upon every police force in America, by making our men in blue look like a bunch of clueless idiots. Another low point in film making history was the childhood labor exploitation of Shirley...
Dinner, Drinks and Dancing This entertainment combo frequently goes together as a dating package. The way it works is like this: The couple knows the routine, they want to have fun but to do it right they need to follow a standard procedure that they can count on. The Three Ds have been a reliable strategy for generations as a ritualistic part of the traditional game playing involv...
GAMBLING The gambler's idea of having fun is playing a game and winning some money. But gambling is more of a sport than it is a form of entertainment, and like sports a player can win some games but most of the time they lose. And unlike a game of sports the losing player loses money, which is not a very entertaining. Those who think that it is entertaining are clinically diagnosed as bei...
Entertainment Entertainment is a broad term with many areas of application. There are entertainment experiences for the masses, and other types that can be relative to each individual based on their personal preference.

RECREATION Recreational activities show clear clues about societal problems at the heart of the issue by challenging there value, or lack thereof. The question is: are they worth the time they take, time that would otherwise be better spent elsewhere? One need not look far to see their obvious act of merit involved. Most are an abominable waste of time, and time is the most valuable thing...
Washer & Dryer- These appliances usually come in pairs, and are standard features in most homes. But if you're not rich you have to use the machines at the nearest laundromat. Despite its technological prowess the modern washing machine is still no match for the crusty shit caked on a pair of dirty underwear. Only the human touch can cleanse such filth. Air Conditioner- Widely used in...
Refrigerator- This modern day appliance had its origin from when ancient man stored perishable food in snow packs, a practice that later lead to the invention of the ice box, which was a storage box full of ice. It wasn't until the discovery of electricity when what we know as the refrigerator was invented. Oven- This is the second oldest kitchen appliance that marked an advancement in co...
HOUSEHOLD APPLIANCES What started as a well intentioned manufacturing movement toward freeing the housewife from a life of hard labor soon turned into an all out invasion of the killer machines.

Mobile Devices- Having exhausted their capacity to think up any ideas for new products due to acute brain atrophy, manufacturers resorted to tinkering with the same old electronic components to make new gizmos - in a technological inbreeding kind of way. The new products were cobbled together from spare parts scavenged from the sprawling industrial dump just outside Hong Kong. For pennies...
Laptops- Laptops satisfied consumer demand the same way lapdogs pacify their masters' angst, providing both with companionship. But many laptop users resent the comparison to a lapdog because it automatically infers a link to bestiality, which is a repugnant taboo - and they don't want anyone to know about their perversion. Computer companies were quick to exploit and capitalize on close...
Desktop Computers- The personal computer (PC) was invented as a prosthesis to replace the human brain. As expected our brains have atrophied from the reliance upon such a crutch - and users just can't get enough. Whereas the telephone lets your fingers do the walking, now you can let the PC do the thinking. After all, thinking is too much like work and people have better things to do with their ti...
