1. The phrase “I just threw up a little inside my mouth.” 2. The Real World on MTV 3. My skinny, virtually nonexistent calves. 4. The shitty taste of things that are supposed to be great for your body (I’m looking at you, wheatgrass). 5. The ridiculous, embarrassing penchant of American politi... (original story)

I share a bathroom with a woman who has more beauty products than is necessary for someone as naturally beautiful as she. Despite my incessant reminders of this to her, there continues to exist an impressive collection of bottles and sponges and sundry ointments in our shower. Seriously, how many di... (original story)

Colin D. Young/Reuters The boys and I are out for another long getaway in the sticks. Different sticks than last week (see above), but sticks nonetheless. No web, a rotary phone, and a rabbit-eared TV bought during the Van Buren... (original story)

Kid's literature has, we can all agree, come a long way. Anyone else remember those "Dick and Jane" kiddie books written way back in the 50's? Filmmaker Run Wrake does, and apparently they messed him up but good. (This video... (original story)

After 38 years of waiting to live my dream, you’d think I would have been more prepared for the pickles* and pitfalls that have accompanied it. Turns out there’s more to writing a book than tapping out words on a keyboard. There are other people involved, and for some reason it’s my job to wor... (original story)

I have a strong aversion to anything having to do with math. I feel strongly that economics and the stock market and everything more complex than a checking account is part of a vast governmental plan enacted for the sole purpose of making me feel dumb.
