I rarely know what you’re talking about.

Challenge: Accepted

Um, 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 with [...]

Our Bob, who aren’t yet in heaven …

I’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 provable [...]

Rock and/or Roll.

Sweet. 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 what [...]

Soon will be the drinking

There’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

People, 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 churchgoing [...]

Highlight Reel

Here, 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 I’m heading [...]

Darling Truckums

Today, 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?

Okay, 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)
• “The Bad Seed” (William Holden)
• [...]

Work Experimence

Today’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

So, 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, rather [...]
