S-M-R-T

Do you ever feel like you need a t-shirt that says “I’m with stupid,” but has the arrow pointing directly up at your face instead of to one side? I did today. I got my car washed, then I went to the grocery store. When I came back from the grocery store, I noticed that ...

New Fishing Technique

Next time I go fishing, I’m bringing a basketball.

Mmm…Teflon…

When I got my own place, I inherited a lot of kitchen equipment from my dad’s old bachelor pad. Silverware, plates, glasses, spatulas and other utensils, pots and pans, and a blender he purchased in 1967 all were passed along to me.

Fun With Economics

In my sheer and utter boredom, I’ve taken to reading Defamer, a combination of entertainment industry and celebrity gossip written in a style that makes me stunned it doesn’t collapse under the weight of its own sarcasm. However, they do a public service by pointing out the warped economics of stardom, by comparing celebrity-gift-basket cost ...

It Is 5 A.M…. 3

There’s a Soul Coughing song whose lyrics occasionally repeat the theme: “It is 5am…and you are listening…to Los Angeles.” But other than annoying radio jerks M. Doughty listened to while he was tripping on acid five years ago and the occasional siren, what is there to listen to at this ungodly hour? Over the last ...
