It’s been a while since I’ve gotten one, but I know that those lists of supposedly unanswerable questions still float around email and whatnot pretty regularly. You know, the ones filled with items like “Why did kamikaze pilots wear helmets?” They’re designed to be clever and funny and some of them are…at least until a …

He Got Shot With A What?
I know this happened a month ago, in fact 4 weeks ago tomorrow, so isn’t exactly current, but I have to write about it, because it freaked me right the hell out when it happened, and when something freaks me right the hell out, sometimes it’s good to write about it. So off we go. …
Who The Hell Drives Around With A Lit Candle?
I can’t come up with a better title for this than that, because honest to god I have no idea why anyone would have a lit candle in their car. But somebody did. Even more amazingly, this somebody decided that a gas station would be a fine destination for herself and her open flame. Well, …

Abandoned In A Ditchbot
Remember last year when I wrote about Hitchbot? For a while, Hitchbot did really well, going all the way across Canada, Germany and the Netherlands, and I was impressed. Maybe we humans aren’t such assholes. … Then it went to the states, and…someone ended its journey rather violently. Someone ripped off its arms and removed …
Sodaburst: For When Dumping Pop Into A Glass Of Ice Cream Is Just Too Complicated
Why? Seriously, why? Who was the market for this supposed to be? How much did they charge for this crap? Buying a big tub of ice cream and a few bottles of pop had to work out cheaper, didn’t it? I’ll bet it tasted awful, too. When your float instructions include just add tap water, …

Dice My Onions, Or I Might Go Snaky!
I was going to write about this on Monday, but my computer had other plans. If I wrote this post on Monday, I would have said that I think I’m winning the battle with Captain Nameless Illness, but I’m not completely sure anymore. At any rate, it’s still robbing me of creativity because when I …
I Thought An Artisanal” Ice Cube Was A Popsicle
Dear god. Please tell me that people are not seriously willing to pay an extra dollar to have a bartender plunk an “artisanal” ice cube into their drinks. A Manhattan will set you back $14 at forthcoming downtown restaurant and bar Second State. Want it on the rocks? That will be a dollar more—for a total of $15. …

Suck It, Time Changes!
I’m a pretty easygoing fellow most of the time, but if ever you want to get me wound up and angry, you only need to say two words. Time change. Holy fuck on a flaming pole do I hate time changes. It doesn’t matter if we’re talking about the one this weekend or the one …
There Is A Google Glass Sex App. Oh, And Some Other Stuff Happened, Too
I’ve seen a lot in the news about Google Glass, but to be honest, I haven’t paid that much attention to any of it. At least I hadn’t until today when a couple of stories caught my eye. But before we get into those, I’m sure some of you are wondering Steve, what the hell …

I See You’re Having Trouble. Here, Let Me Make It Worse
Normally when you think of taking something simple and making it orders of magnitude more complicated than it needs to be, you think government program. But solving problems with problems equal to or greater than the originals isn’t only the domain of bureaucrats. It’s also, as you’re about to see, the domain of 10 not …
