Joliet, Illinois is apparently debating keeping bars open until 5am, in an attempt to give the city a feel more like Rush Street in Chicago. While making the obvious points that Joliet is clearly not Chicago (and should embrace that fact rather than try to create a pale imitation of the larger city), former CRC ...

I don’t mind getting coffee for other people. I honestly don’t, because I understand the need for caffiene. What I do mind is when said coffee for other people spills in my car, as it has twice in the last few weeks. I don’t think there’s anything in the last few years that’s gotten me ...

Moderate Drinking May Prevent Type 2 Diabetes. This is clearly the most logical explanation as to why I have not yet developed diabetes despite my diet of 95% sugar, carbs, and fat: The alcohol is saving me!

Pictures of Elisa and Ray’s kid are up. The ones from the hospital are great too. This one I had to preserve for posterity: That’s Aidan re-enacting “Ain’t Nuthin’ But A G Thang, Baby.” [Rim shot] Thanks, I’ll be here all week.

Please enjoy this picture of me dressed as a bottle of Jack Daniels at Halloween. The baseball cap says “86 Proof” on it and is supposed to be the top of the bottle, but I don’t think that came out too well, either in this picture or just in general. Yes, I made it. Black ...

There is a television show that got some attention when it was first announced, but seems to have since faded from public memory. That show is Gana la Verde, a title that loosely translates to “Win the Green.” The concept of the show is this: A spanish-language Fear Factor, but instead of famewhores competing for ...

For those who didn’t catch it on Fark: Upcoming 24 Focuses on Jack Bauer Eating A Sandwich Best line: “Listen to me,” Jack says, grabbing the cashier by the shirt. “I need you to take the pickles off now. There’s no time to explain – you’re going to have to trust me.” In the legions ...
