Well, at least he won’t be selling ice cream to kids.

Other people’s children do the most retarded things sometimes. I swear… KFC? Are you kidding? At least hold out for some Chick-Fil-A.

You’ve got to be kidding me.

The email below, which I have concluded is, amazingly, not a joke, arrived in my in-box last night. (Emphasis is mine.) __________ Dear US Airways customer, As you can read in the attached letter signed by 12 airline CEOs, US Airways and other carriers in partnership with the Air Transport Association (ATA) are joining a [...]

Who the hell are the Fauxcialites, and what’s with all the balloons?

This is one of the most retarded looking “media arts” “projects” — and I use the term loosely — I’ve stumbled across lately. [DBTH] Initially I’d thought about heading to the M.I.A. show last Friday, but I ended up turning down a last minute ticket. I heard it was a great show, but I’m now [...]

My Morning Commute (Subway Irritations Redux)

Lately, in anticipation of summer beginning shortly, I’ve been trying to change my diet and get a bit more exercise. Up until recently, I’d fully well have acknowledged that my diet has been absolutely awful for quite a while now, but lately I’ve been actually paying a lot of attention to it and — prepare to [...]

Know why I don’t have any idea who you are? Because you’re Gavin DeGraw’s brother, that’s why.

[Note -- See the comments for an update warranting revision of the original post, courtesy of tipster reader b. On balance, I think this correction might make the story funnier.] [Note #2 -- This keeps getting more hilarious, as far as I'm concerned. New revisions based upon tipster Lisa's new info, which I hope she [...]

Waking up early rocks!

So I set my alarm for about 7:45 this morning in anticipation of getting up in time to take a shower before my class at 10:00. The alarm goes off, of course, but I decide to forego the shower and end up sleeping another 15 minutes until the alarm goes off again. Then I shut [...]

I’ve been had! Or, more appropriately, expecting to be had.

So a few months back, as some of you may recall, I lost my wallet. I’ve actually not bothered replacing it, as chance would have it, but that’s really neither here nor there. My license was about to expire and I’ve been closing credit cards like they’re going out of style, anyway, so I figured [...]

The Case Against Tort Reform

I’m not a doctor or anything… But, um… Wow. So as some of my readers may recall, earlier this week I had to reschedule a doctor’s appointment for this afternoon to get some “blood work done.” You’ll need to understand what I was there for in order for the story to make sense, so I’ll [...]

Could Clint Eastwood be more badassed? Yes, by speaking Italian. Which he now does?!?

I generally don’t watch the Oscars because I don’t see movies and don’t have an opinion about who “should” win. If I went to, say, NASCAR races, or roller derbies, or cryptographers’ conventions, perhaps I’d have opinions about who should come out on top in in those, too. But I don’t. Somehow everyone else has a [...]

I don’t feel like doing this reading just yet.

So instead I’ll ramble. (1) I’d like to go to Europe for my birthday. Well, around my birthday. I have to take the MPRE on March 11th (a Saturday), meaning that I’m missing out on the chance to leave town on Friday and go somewhere for a full week. I could always come back a [...]
