Would You Rather…
Dec 10th
Mac over at The Chive posted a few weeks ago a series of would you rather- type questions. Please allow me to fill you in on the correct answer to each proposed scenario (that is unless you feel different):
Your own private island or your own private jet?
Answer: You’d rather own the island. There are only so many private islands in the world and jets are a pain in the ass to maintain (parking, fueling, paying a pilot, etc.). Having your own island offers you the opportunity to be master of your domain. You can make it a for-profit venture or it can be your More >
Think About It…
Aug 21st
One night in the midst of consuming an unhealthy amount of Spotted Cow beer and in the throws of a torrid game of Apples to Apples a friend of mine noted that the entire game can be boiled down to a simple phrase, “think about it.” Turns out that phrase applies to more than just board games. Every now and again I’ll post something that I’d ask you to allow to percolate a little longer than your average .47 second internet attention span.
Going Two-For-Tuesday (night) on your ass here… Both links are definitely worth a look for your mental digestion.

It Really Ties The Site Together
Aug 13th
Below is a link that I think may be of interest to you. I saw this in passing through The Chive today, which prompted a viewing of the associated film this evening, which in turn caused poor output as far as writing is concerned tonight, and resulted in my not getting enough sleep to be properly rested which will affect my performance tomorrow. It’s all connected man. One can opt to fight the inner-linked aspects of life, knowing it’s a battle that they cannot win, or one could just… abide.
Enjoy.

Happy Friday everyone! Feel free to drop any of this knowledge in conversation at whatever Kentucky Derby party you attend tomorrow.
Enjoy Your Munchies
Nov 21st
With Thanksgiving upon us I figured I’d treat The Chive just like our forefathers treated the Indians, I’m poaching the shit out of them.
In the words of Bob at The Chive, “If this doesn’t make your day then I’m afraid we can’t be friends”
A couple of quick points here:
1) Why did no one tell me about the comedic gold that is 7th Heaven clips on YouTube. This show is brilliant (especially if you hang out with Matt and his friends… or so I would assume).
2) Do you think for one instant that Simon doesn’t have a whole lifetime of bringing joints and More >
The Terrible Twos
Nov 14th
It’s that time again. Time for one of my favorite annual columns…
Before there was planking and #WINNING, Gangnam Style and Call Me Maybe (and Friday for what it’s worth); back when Casey Anthony was just a crappy single mother and pirates still sailed the Somali Coast; the internet was changed forever. On November 7, 2010 the Queen of England started her official Facebook page. Well that and this here website got off the ground.
So I return to my Google Analytics to take a look at this past year that was to shed some light on what we’ve learned.
- It’s been a good year as More >
Dave On Wheels Is Not Here Man…
Oct 15th
So now I know how it feels to be used. Turns out it’s not so great. I owe some kids from my high school science fair an apology.
This whole Dave On Wheels scenario has been pretty unreal this past week. What started as an incredibly heart-warming story of a kid overcoming the odds, letting his light shine through an otherwise cloudy day, then morphed into a tragedy as the world was made to believe that he took a turn for the worse and eventually left us fighting the good fight on Friday morning. Today the whole thing got flipped on its ear thanks More >
Dave On Wheels – Hoax?
Oct 15th
If this is true I submit it as reasons 3,245 thru 46,538 that humanity is fucked. Who would do such a thing? All you people who went ballistic over James Frey embellishing a few stories in the book A Million Little Pieces better have a field day on this guy’s ass: http://thechive.com/2012/10/15/the-story-of-dave-on-wheels-was-an-elaborate-horrible-deceit-7-photos/
You know what, I don’t even feel bad right now for getting pulled in (as noted in my previous post I’m not one to normally fall for these online sypathy stories) but seriously? Who does this? What would your mental state need to be in order to pose as a handicapped kid online to appease your psyche? More >
R.I.P. – Dave On Wheels
Oct 12th
Gosh darn it…
I don’t want to bring your Friday down or hang a dark cloud over your weekend but this story just flat out sucks. Let me first clarify that I’m not one for getting swept up in things like this, but just this once I fell in hook, line, & sinker, and today I’m paying the price.
Just four days ago I read this post on The Chive: http://thechive.com/2012/10/08/dave-on-wheels-an-inspiration-to-us-all-is-using-the-twitter-machine-properly-12-photos/
For those not into clicking links, the short of it is there’s this kid named David Rose who was born a deaf quadriplegic due to athetoid/spastic cerebral palsy. A shittier hand in life he could not have More >
Quick Quips – Things Are Happening Too Fast
Mar 7th
Here in the 21st century we live in a 24 hour news cycle where activities across the world come to our attention in real-time. It’s our role as participants in this civilization to consume this information, develop opinions accordingly and act on them. Or not… Frankly there’s so much crap going on I’m not sure how you’re supposed to keep up with it all. I guess you just need to find your own personal balance and act accordingly. I have friends who pay attention to everything going on in the world of politics but couldn’t tell you the first thing More >
