I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind. Some come from ahead and some come from behind. But I've bought a big bat. I'm all ready you see. Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!

Yours Truly is…Blog of the Week!!!

So, I just got some news tonight that put quite a big smile on my face ! No…I didn’t win the lot­tery (although that would have been nice too ) nor did my long lost child­hood pet guinea pig [Snuf­faluffa­gus] find his way home and crawl back into his cage!
…nit­ty­Griddy was selected as “Blog […]

Madoff Made Off with Millions of My Money!

What a title! It kinda sounds like a tongue twister. It was either that or “Mad­off Made Off with Much of My Money.” But then I real­ized, who cares?! Cause this post has noth­ing to do with tongue twisters or that scum bag!
I’ve come across sev­eral ver­sions of this title on the inter­net, and it […]

Make Secure Donations to Chile Quake Relief

If you’ve got the means and would like to chip in to help earthquake-rattled Chile, below is a list of ways to do so. Although the quake’s death toll is nowhere near that of Haiti’s, Chile will still need tons of human­i­tar­ian aid and finan­cial support to:

Help the 500,000 + peo­ple who are now home­less

Top 3 Naked Sports

I’m gonna’ keep the writ­ing to a bare (ooops Freudian slip?) min­i­mum on this one! After all, I think the title alone is self-explanatory and your eyes will prob­a­bly go straight to the pic­tures. That’s if they haven’t already . So I could pretty much write any­thing here and most of you wouldn’t even […]

Facebook Facts & Figures

Feb­ru­ary 4th was Facebook’s 6th birth­day. Yes, believe it or not, the social net­work­ing titan and the most talked about web­site [actu­ally, the most talked about any­thing] in the world, is a measly 6 years old! I think that Har­vard dropout and boy genius Mark Zucker­berg as well as his room­mates do more than just […]

The Sh*** My Dad Says Made Me Famous [nG’s 100th POST]

*Twit­terati - as defined by the Urban Dic­tio­nary: The Tweet elite, whose feeds attract thou­sands of fol­low­ers and whose 140-character spews cap­ture the atten­tion of the rapt who doggedly mon­i­tor them.
*Twit­terati — as defined by PCMag.com: The Twit­ter upper crust. The tweet writ­ers who have thou­sands of fol­low­ers.
Now that you’re famil­iar with the term Twit­terati (in case you weren’t already), I can […]

nittyGriddy Gets a Makeover!

Hello Every­one,
As you can see (if you’ve been here before), nittyGriddy’s been slightly retouched and fresh­ened up! Thanks to the won­der­ful peo­ple over at Cre8mania, espe­cially Con­stan­tine — aka Costa — who put up with my inde­ci­sive­ness and my look­ing over his shoul­der for a cou­ple days [pre­tend­ing to under­stand all the CSS stuff and other technical […]

Flying for Dummies [Updated]

I orig­i­nally pub­lished this post on Feb. 12 — but I’ve updated it by adding another pic­ture of the famous Kul­ula info­graphic plane as well as a few more cheeky labels.
as if fly­ing wasn’t fright­en­ing enough these days, one air­line decided to scare the crap out of its’ pas­sen­gers even more, by paint­ing an idiot’s […]

nittyGriddy’s New Logo is Here :)

I’m very excited to share nittyGriddy’s new logo with you. I wanted an image that would reflect the name, per­son­al­ity and style of the site — some­thing sim­ple and alive; some­thing fun that inspires cred­i­bil­ity but with­out the ultra cor­po­rate look that a bank or insur­ance com­pany would have; some­thing with a detach­able ‘nG’ that […]

Valentine’s Day — the Love Industry

v-day is finally here — and so is all the pres­sure that comes with it! what to get her, what to get him, what restau­rant to book, what meal to cook, what kind of flow­ers to buy, what to write in the card, what roman­tic words to say, bla bla bla…
many peo­ple say they don’t care […]

Foods that Fuel Your Sex Drive

do you want to spice up your sex life? it’s actu­ally a rhetor­i­cal ques­tion, because after­all, who doesn’t? unless your genes carry a strand of the bonobo chimp’s, your answer is yes, yes, yes!
it just so hap­pens that all the ingre­di­ents you need, can be found at your local mar­ket. and with valentine’s day right around the […]

Who Has Helped Haiti the Most?

after the dev­as­tat­ing earth­quake that hit haiti last month, thou­sands of com­pa­nies and indi­vid­u­als as well as many gov­ern­ments from around the world, stepped up to the plate to lend a help­ing hand. although the hait­ian peo­ple have a ways to go before they can start to recover and rebuild, the money, equip­ment and ser­vices being […]

Forgive Me Fans, For I Was Off!

the good thing about run­ning your own blog is — you don’t answer to anyone…i’m my own boss! the not so good thing is — when i go on vaca­tion, i tend to slack off and not update it on a daily basis as i should and usu­ally do! although stay­ing glued to my laptop, […]

The Top Facebook Fiends

face­book this, face­book that — it’s always some­thing about freakin’ face­book! although i think it’s by far one of the most bril­liant inven­tions on the net, i also some­times refer to it as the ‘home­wreck­ing site.’
face­book = a place where friend­ships start and end, rela­tion­ships begin and shat­ter… a com­mu­nity where shar­ing is a must and […]

College in America

is col­lege really worth it? well, if you’ re going for a ‘nor­mal’ major (eng­lish lit., mass com., psy­chol­ogy, sci­ence, engi­neer­ing, busi­ness, law…) then yes! but if you’re plan­ning to take 5 or 6 years to grad­u­ate with a bachelor’s degree in bowl­ing indus­try man­age­ment, then i would take a good, hard look at onlineeducation’s […]

Customer Service? Hell No!

ever had to deal with the night­mare that is cus­tomer ser­vice? well, i assure you i have — and a few times! for the record — if you’re gonna’ put me on hold for 10 min­utes (that actu­ally feel like days) with crappy back­ground music that stops every minute giv­ing you hope that an actual […]

The Biggest Bankruptcies in History

one of the biggest calami­ties of the reces­sion — which con­tin­ues today — was the fall of some of the world’s great­est and highly regarded com­pa­nies. from lehman broth­ers (at one time the 4th largest invest­ment firm on wall street) to united air­lines (one of the major air­line car­ri­ers of the united states); the high […]

How To Piss People Off!

i stum­bled across a pretty funny post called ‘how to tick peo­ple off’ by joe craw­ford from artlung. it’s a list of things that peo­ple do to annoy the hell out of you — some funny, some not! i thought it would be nice to repub­lish it here as some of them do ring true […]

America, One Nation Under God?!

here’s an orig­i­nal pic­to­graph (aka info­graphic) from www.good.is of reli­gious fig­ures sit­ting in a bar — each rep­re­sent­ing their respec­tive com­mu­nity in amer­ica. notice the bar graphs on the back of each chair.

Make Secure Donations to Haiti Earthquake Victims

in light of the recent cat­a­stro­phe, i could not but men­tion a few trusted sites where you can go and donate directly to help earthquake-rattled haiti. nat­ural dis­as­ters are not new to us, as we saw with hur­ri­cane kat­rina, the mamoth tsunami in thai­land and many more. it is how fast we act, how selflessly […]

Fart Facts

i’m always up for learn­ing new things — even if it’s ran­dom crap! and if that means adding a lit­tle bit of harm­less ‘rude and crude’ sub­jects and images to this blog — so be it!  this par­tic­u­lar post takes a look at the facts about farts; why peo­ple do it, what causes them to […]

CV’s Worth Looking At

many, if not most of you, know what it’s like to send your resume (cv) to hun­dreds of inter­na­tional hr depart­ments in hopes that some­one will actu­ally get to yours and take the time to look at it. after all, you spent quite a bit of hours fix­ing and spic­ing it up — all those […]

PornstaTs

in light of my last post, ‘a porn bailout?!’, i wanted to dig a bit fur­ther and see just how big the porn indus­try is. there­fore, i set out to try and find a fun info­graphic — yes, another one of my famous pic­tures — that show­cases the pornog­ra­phy sta­tis­tics. and lo and […]

A Porn Bailout?!

i’m quite sure that the title alone has cap­tured your atten­tion and has made you won­der what the heck this post is about ! well, let me tell you that it’s def­i­nitely some­thing i never thought i would read about, or even more — write about! but i came across this arti­cle on www.telegraph.co.uk, […]

Wooden Combination Lock

here’s one for all you lock pick­ers! mechan­i­cal and wood­work­ing expert, matthias wan­del, demon­strates the inner work­ings of a com­bi­na­tion lock that he clev­erly made out of wood. look on the bright side — if you can’t fig­ure it out, you can always torch it!
