I think I would have gotten a much bigger laugh out of the Free Condom Harsh Reminder of Sexless Existence story in The Onion if it didn’t remind me so much of the guys with the nudie cards in Vegas reminding me of my sexless existence. But then I got wasted and made out with ...

I’ve had a couple of requests for misspellings of names and removal of last names from people who I link to in order to protect anonymity/non-Googleability. Anyone else who would like this consideration, please let me know. Anyone who links to me, I don’t care. I’m not in a position with any sort of responsibility, ...

Ok, it’s so cold in my apartment that it took me an hour and a half to thaw my feet last night, so I think I’m going to bed early tonight so I don’t die tomorrow at bartending school. Fucking Conrad. The heating guy is supposedly going to fix this for good tomorrow, though that’s ...

They have this thing on VH1 called “Most Outrageous Game Show Moments,” which is one of the funniest things I’ve ever seen. Years and years of wrong answers, slip ups, etc., packed into one hilarious hour. I just about fell off the couch at this exchange, between the host of the British version of Family ...

Gene Weingarten writes in his column about the Washington Post’s vaunted internal anti-spam blocker not exactly doing its job: “The Post, for example, had to eliminate certain words from its spam filter when it discovered that completely innocuous e-mails were being filtered out. Like what? I ask Diane. ‘Like résumés with the expression “cum laude.” ...

On my way back from Vegas, I decided to take the southern route along I-40, taking me through the balmy 60 degree temperatures of Flagstaff and Albuquerque, instead of the ice-slicked roads along I-70 and I-80. I realized that this route also lowered the number of States I Have Never Visited to four: North Dakota, ...

When we were in Vegas, I made one of the more accurate Freudian slips I’ve ever made while I was talking to my friend Joanna on the phone: “Yeah, we wanted to save money and since drinks in the clubs are like eight bucks each, we went out and bought a bunch of alcowhore…I mean ...

However, not right now, because I have a pretty good buzz on from going to the Wild Hare, a very good reggae club in Chicago where my roommate Katy met Joe, her current boyfriend. It’s a great club with really good music (and props to the guitarist tonight, I saw he has the exact same ...
