He died doing what he loved

Friday, May 16th, 2008

A hilarious tragedy:

A SWISS man died when he fell from a hotel balcony during a spitting match with a friend, a Swiss newspaper has reported.
The daily Blick said the 29-year-old man took a run-up from inside the room so he could spit further, but lost his balance and plummeted 6.4m to the street below.
He died [...]

“C’mon, you need to get on base here! Nelson Santovenia can’t ground into a double-play all by himself you know.”

Wavering in my support for Obama

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

Sure, his anti-zombie platform is near and dear to my heart, but nobody provides clear-headed triangulation like Hillary Clinton:
FB: Now let’s go to the lightning round! Get out of Iraq or bomb Iran?
CLINTON: Get out of Iraq by going through Iran!
FB: End wiretapping or double Gitmo?
CLINTON: Privatize wiretapping, then outsource Gitmo to more efficient overseas [...]

Cystuflex
Pornulon-V
Bonerbaker
Stloosener
Ogden’s Zit-gone-flake
Pervdisemballer
Slits-n-Jiggles

Saturday, May 10th, 2008

Now that Hillary is all-but-defeated (watch out for the horror-movie-villainesque last clutch from her campaign, though), it’s time to put some thought into choices for Obama’s running mate. And by “put some thought into” I mean, of course, “pull some harebrained ideas out of my ass.”
Here they are, in no particular order:

Blacula. Pros: Helps Obama [...]

Office Practical Jokes

Sunday, May 4th, 2008

Some of these are recognizable as mimicing The Office. Others were inspired by different sources, and some were completely original. I was the main or sole perpetrator of many of them, was tangentially involved in a couple, and was the victim of only one.
In chronological order:

He was a funny looking fellow

Friday, May 2nd, 2008

From the Associated Press:
Akhenaten wasn’t the most manly pharaoh, even though he fathered at least a half-dozen children. In fact, his form was quite feminine, which has puzzled experts for years. And he was a bit of an egghead.
….
The female form was due to a genetic mutation that caused the pharaoh’s body to convert more [...]
