Having just finished the Count of Monte Cristo (rather than study for the GRE), I decided to research the book (rather than study for the GRE). Apparently, even though the book itself is wonderful, I read an updated Victorian translation…

Forgive me if posting becomes sparse this week.  I’m taking the GRE on the 12th and I really need to break 600 in Verbal before the test.  So I’m purposely going to avoid the intraweb (if I have the self-discipline)

Personal Ad: I like romance as much as the next guy, but long walks on the beach make me gassy. 1: Did you go to that party where if you wear green it means you’re single and if you wear…

I’ve decided to quote-mine the Internet. My theory is that there are some awesome people writing wonderful things out there that nobody has heard of or read. So I’ve started a new series aimed at finding funny and smart people…

I live in the only place nearby where it is legal to blow up fireworks. As a result, everyone and their colicky step child heads over here for Independence Day. For the past week, fireworks have tapered my evening strolls…

I figured out the secret to world peace. You’ve probably guessed it from the title of this post, but that won’t stop me from going on and on about how I came to this realization. The short version: I didn’t.…

“for saying the word ‘hell’ twelve times, ‘dead’ seven times, ‘death’ for times and ‘cock’ once” For some sad reason, this pleases me. Do you think it’s possible to go for NC-17?

PG “for saying the word ‘hell’ four times and ‘death’ once” What in the name of hell’s name is that hellish piece of hell? I wish death upon the dying of the dead hellish dead. Dead dead dead. Hell Hell…

“For saying the word ‘hell’ twice.” God damn it! Motherfucking shit! That rating sucks two tons of wobbly-monkey cock. … and now, no more cursing for two months.

Step One: Try to understand it. I never understood the concept of blind faith. Even when I believed in God, it was inductive faith rather than blind faith. I have inductive faith that the chair I sit on will not…

People are weird. This is my favorite story about the ‘scene‘ It doesn’t matter what scene it is or who is in it or what it’s about. It could be mac users ragging on PC users or star wars geeks…

Two questions: If you caught what you thought was a father beating his child, would it make it more or less acceptable if he said, “It’s okay, it’s not domestic abuse: I’ve never seen this kid before in my life!”?…

Why do you hate visitors? Do you think we smell bad? Are we jerks? Do we take all of your jobs? Or do you just think we’re going to bring rabbits into you and watch them wreck havok? I know…

(boy, I wonder how that turns out) Is it possible for a blog to have too many features? I argue it’s not. Old-timey visitors (from the 1920s or even from just yesterday) will note a few spectacular changes on the…
