I’m sure many of you have heard by now that George Carlin, arguably the greatest comic of all time, died yesterday at age 71. Right from the day that one of my friends snuck me a copy of the A Place for My Stuff album when I was 10 years old, Carlin became one of …

Here We Stand
Ever since the day I walked into a record store, heardCostello Musicplaying and bought it on the spot, I’ve been telling anybody who’ll listen and a few people who won’t how goodThe Fratellisare. Well, now their second album,Here We Standhas come out, so I figured it wouldn’t be right if I didn’t tell everybody how …
How Appropriate
A guy by the name of Phillip Toledano has put together a book full of photos of and stories aboutphone sex operators. It sounds like an interesting concept, but to be honest, once I saw that this book all about people who get other people off over the telephone for a living was being published …
He Likes To What?
I had no idea that there was so much funny business happening down on Sesame Street. Ok, aside from Bert and Ernie. But everybody knows that. By the way, I can now confirm that Greg Twilly is good for exactly 2 things. This video and the $20 he’ll be giving me once the Mariners finish …

Perhaps this shouldn’t be that much of a surprise considering this is also the same city that has asked people to obtain permits …

Dear Greg Twilly, My Bestist Friend Ever
This one’s for you buddy. I figured since you were nice enough to hijack the comments under this post in a pathetic attempt to make yourself feel better about your shitty favourite baseball team, the least I could do was give you a little something in return.Mariners Fire Whiffing Coach Fuck you very much, and …
This Vacation Is Gonna Be A Blast!
Who comes up with this shit? A new policy from the much loved and well respected US Transportation Security Administration states that people who refuse to present ID will no longer be allowed to board airplanes. However, if you say that you’d love to present it but you just can’t find it right now,that’s just …
