Liar! Liar! (1/31/09)

The answer to last week’s “Liar, Liar” was #2: I once won first prize in a chili recipe contest for my original creation: pizza chili. Sadly, in this contest, first prize was really second place, as Grand Prize was first place (oh, semantics).  However, I did get some cool cooking untensils and $100 gift card [...]

The abbreviation is CLITORIS.*

Holy crap. Red Dwarf flies again!
I talk much about my love for DOCTOR WHO but what may be less obvious is my affection for the British sci-fi sitcom, RED DWARF.  There are certainly indicators (I often go by the online pseudonym ‘emohawk’ or some derivation thereof, which is an RD reference). And when it gets [...]

Liar! Liar! (1/24/09)

One of these food-related facts is true about me.  Can you pick it out from a line-up?
1)      I have eaten a peanut butter sandwich at least once a day, every day for the past twelve years.
2)      I once won first prize in a chili recipe contest for my original creation: pizza chili.
3)      In my high [...]

You are Number Six.

“Where am I?”
“In the Village.”
Seventh grade was about twenty-five years ago, give or take.  For me, it was an unusual experience. It was the first time I ever had to ride a school bus (my elementary school, grades K-6, had been within walking distance of home). It was the first time I was surrounded [...]

Which of these things is not like the others?

OK, seriously. Has anyone ever seen Ron Rifkin, Bob Balaban, and Joel Grey in the same place at the same time? I think it’s one guy’s plot to make three times as much money.

I hope you’re happy now, Jacob.

Hurley: I can’t believe he did it.
Kate: Who did what?
Hurley: Locke. He moved the island.
Jack: No, he didn’t.
Hurley: Oh, really? ‘Cause… one minute it was there, and the next it was gone, so… unless we, like, overlooked it, Dude, that’s exactly what he did. But… if you’ve got another explanation, man, [...]

Take the chance to build a brand new day

I, too, have invested a lot of hope into Mr. Obama to turn us around.  Jeff expresses many of my own feelings here.
But I also enjoy a healthy bit of cautious cynicism that reflects unreal expectations.
What can I say? I’m evil.

If you mean time-traveling bunnies, then yes.

Season 5 of LOST starts in one week.  Just as I imposed a media blackout leading up to the release of HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS, so too am I avoiding all discussion of LOST online, for fear of spoilers.  I accidentally learned a crucial bit about last season by poking around online prior [...]

And that’s all I need. The ashtray, the remote control, the paddle game, this magazine and the chair.

Well, I need some fucking summer.
Worst. Winter. Ever.
Word.

It’s a big building with patients in it. But that’s not important right now.

A few weeks back, I read this hilarious story at the Onion about how American Airlines was now planning to charge non-passengers for not flying with them. Do you ever get the feeling that sometimes those jokesters at the Onion are prophetic?*
Today, I read how a local town is going to charge people who’ve been [...]
