What Did the Terminally-Ill Kid Get for Halloween?

Friday, October 26, 2007 – 11:06 am

Some people don’t appreciate the “new humour,” which answers seemingly innocuous questions (”What did the deaf, dumb and blind kid get for Christmas?” or “Why did the girl fall off the swing?”) with pointlessly harsh (yet realistic) punchlines (”Cancer” and “Because she had no arms,” respectively). Those people are poopfaces. Maybe this joke will turn their […]

Not With a Bang, but With an Andy Rooney-esque Diatribe about Golf

Monday, October 22, 2007 – 4:55 pm

Quickie before I go home:
When I die, I hope to have the following names on my tombstone:
Bill Simmons, Rick Reilly and Michael Wilbon
Everyone who knew me will understand, and apparently ESPN has finally recognized the danger to their world-swallowing Orson Welles inherent in my survival.
= ESPN
New approximate date of death: June 2, 2008.

Server Stuff, Cont’d

Tuesday, October 2, 2007 – 11:53 am

As you probably noticed, the server issues I anticipated at the end of last week are actually happening today. They should be resolved soon, and they should lead into the big news I promised for later (hopefully) today.

Number 1 Recommended By Mechanics

Thursday, May 24, 2007 – 3:13 pm

In an effort to honor Andrew’s love for public panic I wanted to make sure everyone knew that you can no longer brush your teeth.
The government is stopping all imports of Chinese toothpaste to test for a deadly chemical reportedly found in tubes sold elsewhere in the world.
The Food and Drug Administration is testing the […]

Thursday

Alright, kids, I won’t be around most of the day Thursday as I’ll be attending my sister’s college graduation. (Congratulations, Jamie!)
If you all behave yourselves, a couple of guest bloggers may stop by to keep you entertained.

Obama Does Have Taste

Monday, May 14, 2007 – 4:55 pm

As I said when I took a look at the presidential candidates’ music picks, I know this isn’t particularly important, but seeing as it’s still May, the list of the last piece of fiction read by each candidate is about as interesting as anything else occurring in the campaigns right now.
Wait, you know what? […]

Ugh. Can’t Blacks and Women Just Take a Hint, Already!

Monday, March 5, 2007 – 2:47 pm

This is, uh, Lowell, also filling in for Andrew (we ex-debaters know how to circle the wagons). I live in Baltimore, but in a less self-hating way than SKates. For instance, I enjoy being able to go out wearing colors other than black, like not being handed business cards everywhere I […]

This Just In: Americans Terrible at History, Having Good Newspapers

Monday, March 5, 2007 – 2:42 pm

SKates here, filling in for Andrew as he starts Day One of his new Not Throwing Up streak. I live in Baltimore, which largely relegates me to second-class citizen status by geographic proxy, but it also allows me, with little self-loathing, to read The Baltimore Sun on occasion. Each time I do so, I’m […]
