This would have been called rants when it started, but wasn't because Dennis Miller was using the name.
Now it's not because Dennis Miller is too busy getting stains on a blue dress for George W. Bush to be funny anymore.

And you thought you could work up a good head of steam, Cory!! can get mad just sitting down and looking deep into his soul. Not to mention his past.

The Current Droning: The Passion of Mel Gibson's Big Box Office

Everyone has opinions, but on this site, the only ones that matter are Cory's. Why? He pays for the damn thing, so sit down, pallie, and have a nice, tall glass of Shut Up Juice. Buy your own site and you can spout off too. That's the great thing about the internet. That, and the fact that you can donwload all the sick, twisted fanfiction about Star Trek characters your little heart desires.

Dronings is a column Cory!! began back in college (in the antediluvian era) where he would spout off about anything that settled into the deep recesses of his twisted mind. It can be a complaint about politics, a review of a movie or TV show, it might just be a long rant about something that pisses him off. In fact, he gave us a list of things that piss him off, and we've decided only to put the first page on the site for propriaty's sake.

"I am pissed off by top 40 radio, rap music, network TV, Dick Clark TV shows, cheese in a plastic tube, the people who feel it is their civic duty to gain a lot of weight and walk down the middle of the sidewalk slowly when I am in a hurry, teenage boy singing groups, teenage boys, teenage girl singing groups, and if you think I don't like teenage girls, you've lost your mind, people who don't realize that I have to get off the damn elevator before they can get on, Danielle Steele novels that "Everyone Reads" since I am not everyone, novels by dead authors like V. C. Andrews who has more novels published since she died than before, the phrase "Know what I'm sayin," Central Illinois, Central America, Centrals of all kinds, anyone who doesn't laugh at Pat Robertson, bad dubbing in Jackie Chan movies, banana flavored taffy that really just tastes like goo, anyone paying attention to Andy Warhol's art, anyone living within 1000 yards of me, maple flavored syrup instead of maple syrup, people who make a living working on commission, the color orange, Def Comedy Jam comedians who think that if you yell the bad joke it will be funny, oldies being called Classic Rock, Morning Zoos, local news, the Baldwins...all of them, carob being pitched as chocolate, diet anything, cheap booze, American beer, foreign beer that isn't Guinness, women who "just want to be friends" when it means they need me as their emotional tampon but when their life is good they ignore me as I have leprocy, ten lords a leaping, and YOU! "

So, these are Cory's Dronings, essays in the grand tradition of Dorothy Parker's book and play reviews, Harlan Ellison's various columns, and the drunken ramblings of the guy who always seems to sit next to him at the bar and tell him everything that's going wrong in his life when Cory would rather just get hammered and think about how he'd like to have the courage to talk to the Goth-y looking chick at the table across the bar.
