The Internet Slacker Website

Creative writings by SlackerDan. Check out my articles and videos if you need a laugh, why not?

This website is going to be a constant work in progress, articles, comedy, video, and other stuff I've made will be added constantly... or at least when I stop slacking.

Pickles & Spinning My Thing

All of the below remarks about McDonald's is just my opinion. Don't sue me, Ronald, for I have no money.

Francis and I roll up to the McDonald’s and make our way into the fine establishment where nary a proper nutrient can be found by hungry and wayward souls.

A Tourist's Guide to Toronto Attractions

I used to live in Toronto but now I don't. I kind of miss the restaurants, shopping, and random distant screaming from the general direction of Scarborough at 3 A.M.

Toronto has many fun and exciting tourist attractions just waiting for you! Also, random stabbings have gone down three percent compared to last year, so what are you waiting for? Here's just a few of Toronto's awesome sites to visit:

Jobs I Can Do As A Burnt-Out Middle-Aged Depressed GenX Slacker

It's not a case of getting older, it's a case of everything in life getting more of a pain in the ass to accomplish.

I’ve been feeling damn frustrated lately, both at myself and the world. So, nothing new. I feel burnt out all the time. Yeah, that’s frustrating enough, and all the other symptoms with my depression sure as hell don’t help: anhedonia (a lack of pleasure in doing activities), foggy-mindedness, a lack of motivation, and an overriding fear that Danny DeVito is going to stab me in my sleep (I’m not sure what kind of Latin -phobia tag said specific fear would bear, but it’s real so I’ll thank you not to mock it).

Why We're All Internet Slackers

I don't mean to drag you down to my level but once you get here you'll probably give me a hug.

I'm exhausted. Thanks, Internet. Thank you for the sheer amount of interesting crap you hold within your digital spaces. Thank you for the, uh, intriguing people you've allowed me to communicate with so far in a meaningful, fulfilling manner. And, THANK YOU for causing me to stay up till FIVE IN THE FREAKING MORNING.

BLAST FROM THE PAST: An Honest Guide to World of Warcraft

Adventure awaits for a monthly subscription fee.

(Slacker’s Note, 2025): I wrote this article in the early days of World of Warcraft and, although now a little out-dated, I believe the advice it contains on how to properly play the game still holds true. Online games have exploded in number since the early 2000’s and players continue to engage in ‘traditional’ MMORPG tropes like grinding countless hours for rare items, killing weaker players just because it’s fun, and running around as a Gnome just to annoy the Taurens. So nothing has changed. Nothing.

An Open Letter From Superman To Lois Lane

I'm a huge Superman fan, honest. But, c'mon. The Silver Age Lois Lane Was OBSESSED with the guy.

"Hello Lois, it’s Superman here, the real deal. No, this isn’t a fake letter from any of my various super-villains trying to trick you. This is the real fucking-A Superman writing this letter, so sit down and shut up while I get some annoying facts about you off my massive, “S”-emblazoned chest."

Blast From The Past: I Got My Free Walrus Online!

I tried Ebay for my walrus needs. No luck.

(Slacker’s Notes, 2025): Back in the early 2000’s, when I was young and stupid(er), I posted this fake advertisement on the formerly popular craigslist website. The ad didn’t stay up for long, since apparently none of the moderators at craigslist believed anyone would be giving away a walrus, free or otherwise.
