One night last century when I was a beat reporter for the Journal Newspapers, I had a dream of my entire workday. In this dream, I followed leads, interviewed sources, wrote my story, and turned it to my editor to be hacked to a manageable 15 column inches.
This dream was very realistic. I […]

If my blog’s new theme doesn’t prove that I should no longer be allowed to make bets with my friends, I don’t know what does.
Shortly after meeting INPY earlier this year and becoming BFFs over SoCo and limes and our Dodgers-Yankees rivalry, we made a bet on the baseball season. Since INPY documented it […]

Most people by now have heard about Halle Berry’s semi-anti-Semitic comment on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno last Friday night. For those of you haven’t heard, Berry was on the show last Friday night showing off photos she took using Mac’s Photobooth feature, which distorts your face into a House of Mirrors-kind of […]

During a staff lunch yesterday, a co-workers raised the idea of throwing a party for our pre-dominantly Indian office to celebrate Diwali. The following conversation ensued:

AJT: […]

And though the practice of growing a whiskery pushbroom above your upper lip has since grown out of style in the U.S., […]

One of the most frequent running themes at last Friday’s incredibly attended Invite Your Blog Crush Happy Hour -– other than butt-smacking, shot-taking, and indoor-smoking –- was the idea of blogger privacy.
To varying degrees, each blogger chooses his or her level of privacy early on in that blog’s lifecycle. Some choose to hide every […]

A British child prodigy named Georgia Brown became the youngest member of Mensa this year when the Stanford-Binet IQ test revealed her to have a score of 152, making her a certified genius.
I was obviously skeptical of this little girl’s IQ score and the test methods used to figure out her intelligence, so I decided […]

Some of my funniest friends don’t have blogs. But they have Netflix accounts.
And, as their Netflix buddy, I have access to their hilarious comments and synopses of movies they’ve rented.
These are written by GoPats, J-Vo, Tits McGee, and Ladder 49: Part 1 can be read here.

This is the year where everyone learned the term “carbon footprint”. Don’t pretend like you knew the expression in 2006, we all know you’re lying.
More specifically, this is the year we all learned how to “offset” our personal carbon footprints by recycling more, driving less, and masturbating with the lights off for a change.
