This is not a parody, this is an official production of the Republican party. I fear for this country now more than ever. I hope the Superman people sue the Republican National Committee for several billion dollars.

Instant Messenger has become the death of my conversational ability. I’m so used to having at least a bit of time to come up with witty responses to questions, that I’ve started to freeze when I have to come up with them on the spot. I’m also not as good anymore at filling gaping holes ...

Of all the coverage of the crazed sniper fucking with my hometown and its surrounding metropolitan sprawl, I think I’ve finally found the most interesting one (through ObscureStore, of course). This guy works as a “gas station attendant,” which, as he readily admits, is a fancy resumé term for a cashier. He’s also a student ...

I’d like to be serious for a minute. Don’t laugh, I actually am serious every once in a while. I hereby apologize in advance for any “Afterschool Special”-type sentences contained herein.

Man caught stealing $183 in condoms. Thanks again to ObscureStore, my favorite place to waste time on the web.

I also went ice skating, which reminded me why I no longer ice skate (because it hurts my legs like a motherfucker), though it was still fun to almost fucking kill myself ...

Today is my lucky day. I had a date that went very well (I ended up asking out Megan, a.k.a. Rugby Chick, and she, to my unending astonishment, said yes), and when she eventually left, I called my buddies, who were out bowling in Skokie, and who were piss drunk and asked me to pick ...

Stolen from Cooper: Northwestern now has a webcam pointed at the Rock (for non-Wildcats, a large hunk of junk that students paint to advertise various events or blare political screeds). It’s especially stupid at night, since all you see is a vague outline of the Rock. The Lake Michigan Cam is not quite as pointless ...
