Friday, October 29th, 2004Um, yes. So. Some of you may remember a particularly excited post I wrote a while back about Challenge Butter, a fascinating and tasty addition to our food arsenal here at Fort Awesome. Shortly after writing this post, I sent an e-mail to the good people at Challenge Dairy, Inc., expressing how pleased I was [...]
Our Bob, who aren’t yet in heaven …
Thursday, October 28th, 2004I’m feeling ill today. I’m fervently praying it’s not the flu, or anything serious, but as god and I aren’t on the best terms these days, even that’s becoming problematic. Who do you pray to when you’re mostly unconvinced about the whole god thing? Clearly, the answer is Robert Evans. I mean, as far as [...]
Rock and/or Roll.
Tuesday, October 26th, 2004Sweet. Fembot magnate Joe Simpson now insists acid reflux was to blame for AshlEE Simpson’s case of ventriloquism on “Saturday Night Live” last week. Never have I missed so much by watching the World Series, but fortunately the whole wonderful, (deservedly) humiliating experience is available online, for posterity’s sake. Bless you, Internets. I’m not sure [...]
Soon will be the drinking
Friday, October 22nd, 2004There’s one more hour of pledge week left, and Lawdy, am I ever ready to be done with it. Also, Lawdy, am I ever glad I only have to beg for money on-air for an hour a day. Finally, Lawdy, am I ever freakin’ beat to holy hell. I can’t wait to not do a [...]
Hope springs eternal
Thursday, October 21st, 2004People, I generally shun the practice of overly mystifying terrestrial events. But for cram sakes, if the freakin’ Red Sox can pull a comeback like that and defeat the second-evilest Empire in our nation, my god, is anything really impossible? My relationship with god is shaky at best, nonexistent at usual. But decades of semi-forced [...]
Highlight Reel
Monday, October 18th, 2004Here, in no particular order, are the clips that would play if there was an episode of “Sportscenter” about my weekend. • “TINAAAAAAAAAA!!!” Friday night we watched “Mommie Dearest,” one of the funniest movies I’ve ever seen, with Gin & Juice. And drank. And fell promptly asleep afterward. • The Wandering Shar-Pei. Friday afternoon as [...]
Darling Truckums
Thursday, October 14th, 2004Today, a photographic tribute: Our dear sweet Trucky Truckerson, who’s a little bastard with a tiny head and a tiny fat belly. He’s a charmer, this one. A stripey grey charmer. Be warned.
Jump to conclusions much?
Wednesday, October 13th, 2004Okay, so based on the recommendations list it’s formulated for me, Amazon has clearly decided I’m a gay man. I submit said list’s contents: DVDs: • “What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?” (starring Bette Davis) • “Flowers in the Attic” • “Mildred Pierce” (starring Joan Crawford) • “All About Eve (Special Edition)” (starring Bette Davis) [...]
Work Experimence
Wednesday, October 13th, 2004Today’s workplace experiment is titled “What happens when a couple of guys come into your office to install huge metal objects, in the process making a fascinating variety of metallic shrieking and pounding sounds?” Results thus far: Very few phone calls being made today.
Hot Hot Hits
Tuesday, October 12th, 2004So, yeah, apparently now we’ve got a classical station on the air. By “we” I mean “my employer,” much more so than “Darleece and I”; she and I are still working on our “Pump Up the Volume”-esque pirate radio station, which will play nothing but a mixture of Tom Petty and trash disco, and will, [...]
