The thing that drives me the most nuts about this absurd appendicitis bullshit is that it really fucking hurts when I laugh. Comedic movies have been banned from my DVD player. The Simpsons can be watched because there are usually decent enough breaks between the laughs to recover. I read the Onion far slower than ...

So it turns out I may not have to wait another month to finally start working. For those who didn’t read my absurdly long appendicitis story, here’s the short version. I was supposed to start training at CPK Monday, and when I called them to tell them I wasn’t going to be able to make ...

I know it’s only the Onion, the finest purveyor of fake news, but given my recent string of health-related bullshit, my fake horoscope this week was more than a little disturbing: Gemini: (May 21—June 21) You’ll never smile again after the tragic loss of your lower jaw and lips. Jeebus…

Hey, dumbasses! The following is only my opinion, but given the poor performance of your little movie, I suspect I’m not alone.

So I thought I had officially lost my mind completely today. Turns out I’m still just the garden-variety nutjob I’ve always been. I recently purchased the first season box set of Six Feet Under DVDs, and I was trying to figure out how in the hell to access the fourth episode. Now, if you look ...

Tony Kornheiser has broken out the Choking Dogs column. A bit of background, for those not from DC. The Washington Capitals are usually a reasonably competent hockey team. Competent enough to make the playoffs, even get to the Stanley Cup finals when I was in high school, but usually only competent enough to get to ...

And think, this could double as a festivus pole! Thanks, as usual, to Dave Barry

I need to start exercising. I’m so horribly out of shape right now it’d be funny if it weren’t so sad. So I’m looking at my exercise options, and they look approximately like this: Join a health club Advantages: Lots of different exercise options, like a pool and various machines. Disadvantages: Costly, hate working out ...
