Review of Waiting for Something to Happen
On June 9, 2010 at 7:07 am
The comic strip Waiting For Something to Happen could be the story of my own entrance into the world of employment. Indeed, it could be any girl’s finding her career-niche story. Ko so perfectly depicts the malaise of a bored 20-something, accented by Dube’s pristine illustrations. The star is a youngish girl who can’t stand [...]
The Men’s Room: Lost Boys
On June 7, 2010 at 7:04 am
Men don’t need maps. Men know where they’re going. Men know exactly what they want…until we inevitably get lost. Then, we’re forced by women to relinquish our manhood and ask for directions. From whom do we get them? Another man! Even in our surrender, we still believe another directionally-challenged man will get us back on [...]
The Ladies Room: Blind Leading the Blind
On at 6:57 am
Imagine my shock to find that women supposedly provide better directions than men. My Men’s Room foil, Geoff Burch, alerted me to this piece of trivia the other day. I’m still mystified as I am a person that would probably be stranded for a year in a Super Walmart if not for the signs above [...]
Nobody is perfect
On June 5, 2010 at 11:57 am
I watched on Wednesday night in horror as Armando Galarraga lost his perfect game to a blown call by 1st base umpire Jim Joyce. It was heart wrenching and I am not even a Tigers fan. I am a true blue Yankee fan and I don’t think I have ever felt as bad watching a [...]
Is the iPad All That?
On at 11:36 am
Mega-technology-giant Apple, currently on the downswing of its love-hate relationship with Microsoft bashers, has recently announced that more than two million iPads have been sold to customers in America and the world. The total accrued from these sales is within easy reach of the billion dollar mark. That’s only three months after it hit the [...]
Have You Had Your Sack Tapped Today?
On at 10:31 am
Johnny Knoxville and Jackass’ impact on America’s youth has finally become evident, as a slew of testicle related injuries have begun to plague the nation. Apparently teens have been literally hitting each other in the “boys” as a fairly sadistic new game in our public school hallways begins to take flight. So called “sack-tapping” is [...]
UK Press Happy To State That 2/3rds of Haitians DO NOT Drink Blood & Dance To Drums Like Previously Believed
On at 9:33 am
In an eerie act of potential foreboding, Britain’s hyper regulating media police are proud to announce that The Sun UK has officially corrected an error they printed in a February issue. The Sun’s statement reads as such: “In an article on February 3, we implied two thirds of Haitians drank goats’ blood while practising voodoo. [...]
You Really Thought Buoys Would Stop The Oil Spill?? (video)
On June 4, 2010 at 12:02 pm
Hey Guys, yeah you, using buoys in a miserably moronic attempt to stop the oil spill, watch this video. Not exactly sure what kind of vocabulary we need to adopt to get through here, but evidently the tactics best displayed in the bestseller ‘Oil Spills for Dummies’ won’t work. We’d like to know who’s in [...]
Laker Celebs v. Celtic Celebs
On at 7:02 am
While the Lakers and the Celtics are battling for the NBA championship, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa (a loony liberal) is trying to make a friendly wager with Boston Mayor Tom Menino. He wrote in a letter: “Mayor Menino: As the brilliant essayist and cultural observer Chuck Klosterman wrote: “There is no relationship that isn’t a Lakers-Celtics [...]
Ultimate Fighter 11 Episode 10: Shocked and Awed
On at 6:10 am
The day’s been crazy, the night’s been even worse, but the tenth episode of the Ultimate Fighter was explosive. I’m writing this with one arm virtually locked behind my back, and since we’ve been experimenting with different formats lately I reckon it’s only fitting that our show turns out upside down too. What will be [...]
Naomi Campbell Holds the Key? (VIDEO)
On at 6:05 am
In a twist of irony, Naomi Campbell is making war crimes allegations against former Liberian President, Charles Taylor, yet doesn’t want to talk about it. In an interview with ABC News, she stormed out, knocking over a camera, just for good measure. “Even prosecutors in the Hague for the UN-backed Special Court for Sierra Leone [...]
Armando Galarraga: The (Im)Perfect Game (VIDEO)
On June 3, 2010 at 7:04 am
Detroit Tigers starting pitcher, Armando Galarraga, accomplished an amazing feat that has never been done before in MLB history. On June 2, 2010, Galarraga threw the only perfect game in which a pitcher retired 28 batters. All thanks to the most egregiously erroneous and tragic call in sports when the first base umpire, Jim “The [...]
The Ladies Room: Crazy Girl Handbook
On at 6:55 am
Women are crazy. We are. It’s a fact that I’ve come to accept. I’m crazy too, which should be evident by now. But my brand of crazy is cheeky and adorable, unlike most women who end up being a ghastly combination of insecurities and narcissism. Nothing makes a girl crazier than a guy. Nothing. We [...]
Google’s UK Privacy Statement: None
On June 2, 2010 at 3:27 pm
In the past few weeks, Google announced that it ‘mistakenly’ collected data on WiFi signals as their street view cars have been canvassing the United States and 30 other countries. Google said it was “profoundly sorry for [the] error” and would delete all information collected. This has not played well at all in Germany and [...]
Halladay Makes History
On June 1, 2010 at 5:33 am
Little did I know when a very dear US Army veteran friend invited me to the Phillies-Marlins game in Miami last night that I would be a witness to some pretty amazing baseball history. Initially, Dave’s (a passionate Mets fan) motivation was to experience Phillies baseball with a crazy Philly sports fan like me, having [...]
