Tuesday, April 14th, 2009I know this is old-ish news, but it’s been recurring to me so many times that I feel the need to talk about it. It keeps roiling around in my head because it’s without a doubt one of the most humorously perfect headlines I’ve ever heard: Sham-Wow Guy Arrested For Punching Hooker in the Face [...]
Farewell, Hair Guy.
Tuesday, December 9th, 2008Ladies and gentlemen, the man who truly made me realize that the truly scummy come in both red and blue leisure suits; the man with the hair of a fundamentally untrustworthy human being; the man who’s apparently on tape saying “I’ve got a fucking gold mine here, and I’m not gonna let it go for [...]
Liveblog: The Chicago Thanksgiving Day Parade
Thursday, November 27th, 2008People, I don’t have the space or time to properly list what I love about this city. But one of them is that we’ve got our own goddamn Thanksgiving Day Parade, and it’s a magnificent mix of big-city production values, local-news dorkiness, and genuine small-down WTF. I’m starting late, but this is our day morning, [...]

Monday, November 24th, 2008I have the genius Witt to thank for introducing me to the Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal, one of the funniest comics I’ve read in years. Not just the following panel, but the whole thing. I can’t say anything about it that it can’t show you more effectively; simply follow the link to hilarity.

Wednesday, November 19th, 2008Persons of all stripes: I implore you to take whatever pains possible to see as much of “The Life and Times of Tim” as is possible. It’s on HBO. It’s magnificent. Here’s a clip from an episode called “Unpaid Hooker.”
Dick Cavett done it again!
Monday, November 17th, 2008Good gracious mother of sandwich, how I love Dick Cavett’s blog at the New York Times web site. Today’s nugget of choice: The Wordsmith of Wasilla, on Sarah Palin’s utter disregard for the English language, and really for communication of any sort not involving choosing an outfit. It’s filled with delightful observations about not just [...]

Saturday, November 15th, 2008All right, people. We just returned from dinner at the truly awesome Marie’s Pizza & Lounge, and color me impressed. The food was average, but the drinks were insanely cheap and the atmosphere, my god, the atmosphere … (You’ll note the liquor store on the left; it occupies as much space, if not more, than [...]
shout out
Friday, November 14th, 2008I have now officially lost count of how many times I’ve left the house in the morning thinking, “Jesus Christ, those bananas are looking bad,” and come home the same day thinking “HOLY FUCK BANANA BREAD FTW.” I married well, people. This bud’s for you, Tiny E.

Monday, November 10th, 2008I don’t know if their motivation for posting these things goes beyond “Hmmm, this would be fun,” but whatever the reason, I have thoroughly enjoyed the following photo gallery of questionable fashions of the last four decades or so. Among other things, the question I keep coming back to is “Where the fuck did they [...]
remember this day, little brother.
Wednesday, November 5th, 2008I took a shot at putting this to words and gave up for the night; I’m exhausted, and it read like a B paper from a sophomore comp class. So, for tonight, here’s this: … and the following, which says more about last night than I can articulate properly this evening. Enjoy.
