  • Crime Quiz

    Imaging you’re doing some roofing work and you find a bunch of old currency, worth $120,000 to a collector. Would you A) Alert the owner of the house? B) Take it, lay low and sell it discretely to a collector? C) Take it, call the media, and pretended you dug it up in your backyard?…

  • So Long Stephenie

    So far I’ve enjoyed Survivor: Palau, mostly due to the fierce competitiveness and smart strategizing of Philadelphian, Stephenie Lagrossa. Her tribe became the first to lose every single immunity challenge, but it was her teammates that consistantly let the tribe down. Stephenie kicked ass wherever and whenever asses were found and her possible comeback was…

  • Tree House News – Weekend Performance Hours Curtailed and No Covers?

    JohnS writes: What?s goin? on at the Tree House? Well as always, there?s Christian Open Mic Night on Sundays and Thursdays, and secular Open Mic continues (for now) on Wednesdays from 7 to 9 with Johnny Miles. But things are changing a bit on the weekends. Performers will now play just from 7:30 ? 9:30…

  • Acoustic Ross’s 918 UFN EP

    Today I received in the mail a copy of Acoustic Ross’s EP titled, 918 UFN. For some reason on the other side of the CD it says “ohio toothbrush sarcas,” which sounds like every other email subject I get. My favorite song so far is Just The Thing, which continues my theory that 99% of…

  • Cutie Theater: Revised

    I added a revised version of Cutie Theater. It has one small change, but it’s worth a new viewing.

  • Today’s Downtime

    In 2002 I looked around to find a good, free, open-source content management system for my website. I settled on PostNuke, the software currently being used to produce and store the text you’re currently reading. At the time it had great reviews as an alternative to the popular PHP-Nuke, which had a reputation for glaring…

  • SWAT Team Monkey

    This sounds like the premise of a new TV show.MESA, Ariz. (AP) – The Mesa Police Department is looking to add some primal instinct to its SWAT team. And to do that, it’s looking to a monkey. “Everybody laughs about it until they really start thinking about it,” said Mesa Officer Sean Truelove, who builds…

  • Blue Orchid

    The White Stripes released the single, Blue Orchid, from their upcoming album Get Behind Me Satan. The song sounds like nothing they’ve ever done before, but it fits with the title of the album. It’s full of high falsettos and high pitched guitars. I listened to it about three times and liked it more every…

  • Adios Doritos

    I’ve decided to do something that would have been unthinkable for me a few years ago. I’m giving up Doritos. They’re just too good and whenever I eat them I feel sick afterwards. I can handle eating other types of chips, but with Doritos I can’t stop and end up wanting to puke. I thought…

  • Congratulations to Brian and Jo

    A huge congratulations goes out to Brian and Johanna Olexy on their wedding this past weekend. I had a blast.

  • All’s Well that Odd’s Well Ended Odd

    The final four had trouble killing each other in the end of All’s Well that Odd’s Well, so they decided to form an AUTOKILL pact to end the game with no winner. All four finalists AUTOKILLED in the 14th round.AUTOKILL: Mr Bistre died. His last words were, “Wait, I thought that WAS the antidote!”. AUTOKILL:…

  • SNL w/ Beck

    I watched my Tivo’d SNL yesterday to see Beck perform E-Pro and Girl from Guero. Both were great, although you couldn’t hear Beck’s vocals too well in Girl. The song rocked though. The best skit in the whole show (overall it was awful) was the very last one where Kenan Thompson played Wilma McNabb asking…

  • Cutie Theater

    My nieces have these imaginary friends called the Cuties who manifest themselves as talking hand puppets. Michaela, McKenzie, and I filmed a movie starring the cuties one day while they were at our house. I finally got a firewire PCI card so I could load the movie on to the computer. Now everyone can enjoy…

  • No More Anonymous Comments

    Sadly, I had to turn off the ability to post comments anonymously, due to 300 porn spams posted this week. Thanks a lot assholes.

  • Final Four

    The final four contestants are left to battle it out in All’s Well that Odds Well. The finalists are Mr Bistre with 20 points Mr Burgundy with 18 points Mr Sapphire with 16 points Mr Charcoal with 16 points It’s a close match which could end tonight if two players are killed. If you’d like…

  • Cool Photo from Australia

    My mom sent me this interesting photo she took in Australia. I wonder who it is? It kind of looks like John Malkovich.

  • Unintentionally Sexual Comic Book Covers

    Are these really unintentional? You be the judge.I was going through a stash of old comic books the other day, when I came across several that seemed a bit odd; not in the sense that the comics were strange or unique, but rather, because beneath the seemingly innocent veil of child-like artwork was a subtle…

  • Pranks

    Web Zen’s Prank Zen introduced me to some high quality comedy. Some of my favorites include: 1. TGI Fridays menu switch 2. Harvard Sucks 3. Fake plaque on a San Francisco tunnel (I think I walked right past this tunnel last summer, too) 4. McDonalds Bathroom Attendant 5. Best Gig Ever (recently featured on NPR’s…

  • Send in your Screams

    There’s an interesting game called They Came from Hollywood being developed by two independent game developers. The premise is that you’re a large B-movie type monster like Godzilla, a giant spider, or a humongous robot. It’s not out yet, but the interesting thing is that they’re soliciting people just like you to send in MP3’d…

  • TGIF

    And TGI this freaking Mr T video. He teaches us all some important lessons about life and family. Also, I hope this kid in the video is blind.
