From the monthly archives:
I’ve written a lot about testicles on my blog. It should probably have its own category.
After all, I have had mine punched by an angry friend.
I have seen what it feels like to have them smacked by a tennis ball at 50-mph.
And I have felt my own crushed by a kid named Timmy on [...]

I know EXACTLY what Barack Obama is going through.
Poised tonight to secure his party’s nomination, Obama is still facing criticism from Hillary supporters over not choosing Clinton as his running mate.
But based on my own experience running for high office, I wouldn’t have picked her, either.
In 1997, I ran for editor-in-chief (EIC) of my school [...]

After the Dodgers lost their fourth straight game to the Phillies and dropped below .500 and 3 games out of first place, an L.A. Times reporter asked manager Joe Torre what he could say to his team to snap them out of their funk.

After reading my blog ode to General Tso’s chicken, my friends J and B got me a gift:
No, they didn’t get me a vomit-colored Odwalla (which is positioned strategically in front of The Princess’ birthday present).
No, they got me something much better.
Read the top of the bottle cap.
I might need help. I [...]

The Princess turned 30 on Saturday.

A kitchen appliance.
Specifically, a KitchenAid 5-Qt Artisan Series stand mixer. Empire red, of course.
“You can’t get her that,” my friend Blue told me weeks ago when I told him about the [...]

Even though I’ll be going into the 28th grade (what, are we supposed to stop counting?) this fall, I have only managed to hold on to one yearbook from my past.
The annual book of record, which captured my junior year of high school in all its glorious shame, sits among the rest of my books [...]

I started the 2008 softball season with high hopes.
One year after leading my team — Pew’s Your Daddy — in batting average (.650) and slugging percentage (1.325) and just a few months removed from proving I could still play real baseball at Dodgers fantasy camp, I thought I would have THE GREATEST SOFTBALL SEASON IN [...]

Those of us accustomed to riding the Metro in DC have witnessed on many occasions the comical effects of a lurching train.
Specifically, the comical effects that a lurching train has on unstable Metro passengers who, after assuming the train has come to a complete stop, have given up on the basic principle of maintaining their [...]

I’m not sure what’s sadder:
The fact that people like WTOP reporter Mark Segraves are videotaping themselves trying to eat the Michael Phelps diet.
Or that I considered doing the same thing myself.
But, as Judy C reminded me, with a fried egg on top.

Nearly a year ago, I reluctantly attended the Maryland Renaissance Festival.
As it turned out, and as I wrote in what became my most viewed blog post of all time thanks to a Wonkette mention that involved the word “cleavage”, the MRF did not suck.
So when my friend Nathe invited The Princess and [me] to join [...]
