A Dose of Buckley 25 – ADHD

Good ol’ Attention Deficit Disorder. I guess it’s not really one of those things you can really call “good ol” because the term has existed for a relatively short period of time when you consider the history of medical terminology (then again, so has “AIDS” and I don’t doubt it’s existence). Anyway, someone sent me a link to a website to help people with ADHD recently, and there’s just so much great unintentional comedy, it was begging to be torn apart. Luckily I’m sure people with ADHD won’t mind, a bird will fly by or something and they won’t even make it through this video.

A Dose of Buckley 24 – Taco Bell

I really enjoy Taco Bell. I enjoyed it so much that I recently won a large prize pack from the franchise worth a couple hundred dollars. And it’s with this tough-love attitude that I decided to make a few suggestions on how Taco Bell could go about improving their service. No one’s perfect after all, not even a place that makes delicious fake Mexican food!

Advice No One Asked For – Number Five

I’ve only done five of these, but I think it’s safe to say each one is among the best pieces of content on my site (like that’s a difficult ranking).

It’s Advice No One Asked For! If you haven’t heard these segments before, basically I find some dumb question that someone asked to some dumber advice columnist, and answer it myself because quite frankly, these advice columnists are just not giving these people the answers they need to hear.

This edition, I help a woman who’s struggling with a moral dilemma. Does she let anyone else know the information she has on another woman she knows? Listen for my take on it:

A Dose of Buckley 23 – Telemarketers

So, despite the fact that I’m on the Do Not Call List, I get calls from Telemarketers all the time. So, I’ve had to come up instead with creative ways of dealing with them, because hanging up doesn’t do anything, swearing at them doesn’t do anything… they just keep calling back. Sometimes I like to have fun with them, other times I just want to get them off the phone as quickly as possible. So, when Bell called recently to offer me a “free” cell phone, I came up with a way to get them to hang up on me in less than a minute. Have a listen.

Check out all of my other material at A Dose of Buckley.

Musical Autopsy – Orianthi – According To You

Musical Autopsy: A feature at A Dose of Buckley where I put a song or artist on my cutting table and dissect the music, lyrics, etc. This week, Orianthi’s hit single, “According to You” has its day under the knife.

The true meaning behind the song discovered:

More of this type of comedy, if it’s your thing, at A Dose of Buckley. If it’s not your thing… visit anyway, send me some hate mail, it’ll give me more material for another favourite segment of mine, Fan Mail.

A Dose of Buckley 22 – Baja and Celebs

Alright, so last weekend a bunch of celebrities twittered their reaction to the Earthquake in Baja California. Now, incase you weren’t aware, actors, actresses, and celebrities who just sort of became celebs without any real accomplishments, are completely useless and no more intelligent than most people, which is to say, not very intelligent at all. But since they feel they’re important, they like to comment on everything that’s happening, whether they have anything smart to say about it or not. And guess what: they don’t. Absolute idiocy is what this week’s Dose of Buckley is about. Have a listen to what some famous folks had to say about the quake that killed 2 and injured 100.

Bad Head – Edition 1

A new feature that I’ll attempt to regularly do at A Dose of Buckley (maybe not as regularly as “Advice No One Asked For” but certainly more regularly than “Musical Autopsy”), it’s called “Bad Head”. Here’s the idea: I find a bunch of headlines that I think use a poor choice of words or are just flat out badly written, and make some sort of joke about each one. If you hate wordplay, puns, and jokes about dead children… well, whatever, listen to it anyway. Not like you had anything else going on.

A Dose of Buckley 21 – Kesha

Update #3 of 3 in my OVERDOSE OF BUCKLEY series:

So, Kesha (or Ke$ha, if you must…) recently did a photoshoot and interview for Maxim Magazine. It’s probably one of the worst celebrity photoshoots I’ve ever seen. Google Image search it, it’s awful, it’s like looking at a trainwreck that they got tired of cleaning up with airbrushing and Photoshop. If there’s one redeeming quality though: it gave me an excuse to rip on Ke$ha even more than in my new years update. Oh and one other redeeming quality: It shows prostitutes and bar skanks who just give it away for free that they too could become a pop singer.

A Dose of Buckley 20 – iPad

Tomorrow’s the big day: Apple’s latest overhyped, overpriced piece of technology that you don’t actually need but want anyway is here. But before you go out and spend $500 or more on a large iPod Touch that lets you read books, even though you wouldn’t normally pay $10 for a book at Barnes and Nobles or where ever, listen to my latest update. THEN go waste your money.
