Baseball Hyperbole As It Relates to Nat'l Tragedy (sort of)
You know what happened. If you don’t, and don’t care about the great American pastime, please fuck off. If you do care, but don’t know, watch this:

The Socialism of Flash Mobs; Or, How Glee Stole Your Freedom
Have you seen these people, the ones who get together in a public space and perform a seemingly spontaneous dance at the appropriate time? Then, after the music stops, they disband like, “What? This shit happens all the time”?

Anyways, I enjoyed… Read full post »
Why the Zoo Sucks: A Dissertation (reprint)
I loathe zoos. And, as a corollary, I loathe zoologists (I can only assume, since their lives are devoted to that which I hate). I guess this is why I never got into the Dane Cook/Jessica Alba abortion "Good Luck Chuck."* However, I am oft loath to expl… Read full post »
Anyone remember LFO?
They were a crappy band in the mid-to-late 90s, back when the boy bands roamed the Earth unchecked and hip-hop had just become safe enough for white people to investigate.*
Anyways, for my first post, it felt important to call out LFO and their crappy "Summer Girls" hit from 1999. Besides… Read full post »
