Fair and Balanced? More Like Hard and Throbbing

Thursday, October 14th, 2004

Why does the most famous of alumni from my alma mater have to go and fuck things up for everyone else and make us look bad? If Rick Smits gets into a sex scandal, I’m going to have to start telling people that I went to URI.
Bil - am I allowed to say ‘fuck’ [...]

Debatable Truths

Thursday, October 14th, 2004

Once again, if you expected me to miss the Sox-Yanks game last night to give my undivided attention to Bush and Kerry, well then you don’t know me very well. That said, I did flip back and forth, and caught a lot of the debate. I guess it’s good that neither New York nor the [...]

Congrats Yanks

Wednesday, October 13th, 2004

Oh good. The Yankees won one. I was almost feeling bad for them because they’re obviously the inferior team. Now that they won a game, they’ll have something nice to remember in the long off-season that is only about a week away for them. Of course, they won a game where the first 20 outs [...]

Unbelievable!

Step Out Of The Car Please

Saturday, October 9th, 2004

I have randomly heard a bunch of people describe situations where they recently saw someone literally drinking and driving (I’m talking about something like a can of coors on I-95 type thing here). Well yesterday I encountered it too. I’m on bald hill road and this guy cruises past me drinking a bottle [...]

Debate Dos

Friday, October 8th, 2004

Uh, sorry, I missed this debate. Too busy jumping around and celebrating David Ortiz’s BOMB with some Union Station Brews. Mmmm.
I actually tried to tape it, but I screwed up setting the VCR. MSNBC says Bush won, which I think makes it a tie. I’m seeing lots of stuff about Bush yelling. I’m interested in [...]

Undecided?

Friday, October 8th, 2004

Some people will vote for their party, no matter who the candidate is. Some people vote for who they agree with on the issues. Some people vote against the person they like least. Some people vote for the candidate with better hair.
If you’re still undecided, here’s a couple ways you can figure out who to [...]

Re: Last Night’s Debate

Friday, October 8th, 2004

Hahah, Pandagon has your debate recap hours before it happens.
Last week, The Daily Show brilliantly showcased (for its stoned, slacking viewers) the ridiculous way reporters write their stories before events happen, then fill in details later. (Unfortunately the D-Show video isn’t online). And all joking aside, there really was a pre-written debate story.
Knock that crap [...]

Flypaper

Friday, October 8th, 2004

You may have heard (and certainly will hear) that it’s good that all those terrorists are killing people in Iraq because that means they aren’t killing American children (and puppies!) in suburban elementary schools. It’s known as the flypaper theory. We attract terrorists to Iraq and we pick them off. If you share the Bush [...]

Return of Fish Stuff Friday!

Friday, October 8th, 2004

It’s been a while since we visited any of our sea creechiz </alan shawn feinstein>.

That’s our blue hermit crab, sporting the new fall fashion of algae tufts. Or, as Remy would call it, an algal “system.”

Pinch Me

Thursday, October 7th, 2004

It’s late, so I think I might be dreaming. It’s two in the morning and Red Sox Nation is somewhere between sleep and exhilaration.
Did Pedro really just throw that amazing game? Regularly hitting the mid-90s, getting the big outs when he needed them? Holding the Angels to only three runs?
Did the Sox really pull ahead [...]

Link of the Week

Wednesday, October 6th, 2004

This flash movie is by far the most effed up thing I’ve seen in a while, and everyone I’ve IM’ed it to has loved it, so I am compelled to hook you guys up.
I’m with Bushy
Man, whatever happened to “I’m With Busey”, anyway? That show was awesome.
Link from the always excellent shotguns at Aces.
