Humor is a diverse human condition with no real defining preconditions. Much like beauty, humor is difficult to quantify or describe. The English love their wordplay, the Australians are self deprecating, and the Americans like to offend. At “Tiny Little Rants of Doom” our author, El Sid, lets it rip like an american stand up, only sitting down.
“Tiny Little Rants of Doom” is highly stylistic with an obviously gothic slant, and black humor to match. The design is typical blogger, with all the color pulled down to #000000 (black).
Reading through the latest posts I become familiar with the authors stream of consciousness rants which have no regard for trivial and annoying things such as capitalization, although she seems to have a good appreciation for the exclamation mark, as it is well used. You feel like you are inside her crazy, anarchic head, privy to her raving. Granted, there is humor in here, but this blog is a personal one foremost.
I skip ahead to her favorite posts among the plethora of interesting links along the side, and read some genuinely funny lists she has written about her evilness, customer types, hospitality FAQs, The Cure albums, and with the anger poured on thick and sticky about a million reasons she hates her job, or rather, her customers. I honestly believe you should be nice to people serving you food, really, think about it. I sympathize with our evil overlady completely, having worked in the service industry myself.
All in all “Tiny Little Rants of Doom” is a devilishly funny rant site, with less wit and more anger in its humor cocktail. Our authors bubbly personality is evident and the posts are mildly engaging. We share some heros (eg Neil Gaiman, The Cure) and I’m fairly certain her friends would find her site a riot. Its interesting to get inside the mind of a gothic waitress who wants to main and destroy her clientele and worth a read through if only for its perverse outlook on life. NULL
