Ronrey Rife

May 31, 2006 – 5:34 am

According to Team America World Police's secret spycam footage, Kim Jong Il is a very ronrey boy. Heading a country of 22 million people, 21.999999 million of whom detest and fear one, must indeed greatly interfere with developing a well-rounded social life.

A commentor on Guido Fawkes' blog notes, however, that Kim's MySpace profile lists 1127 more friends [...]

This all-B&W show is a 1960s Shatner-wallow of favorite moments woven into a new pattern. It features an awesome Theme Song and original score.

Review o’ the Day: ACME Strip Club

May 31, 2006 – 2:29 am

From Gawker. Not-to-be-missed account of Long Island City's seediest strip club.
At that point I had tipped all (six) of the dancers at least $3 each. The Brazilian she-male had been particularly pushy. Finally, Marek returned. "We leave now," he said. "Goodbye!" And then he leaned in and kissed me on the spot on the cheek [...]

Cheerleaders

Saturday, September 07, 2002
Browsing through the archives today, from back when I actually got outside, got me thinking about the reactions people have when they see me running. Now, don't get the idea I am a magnificent gazelle when I run; I am more of a magnificent Thelwell pony. I've seen those gazelle-people and they [...]

On the occassion of the US holiday of Memorial Day, the essay of the day, by guestblogger Darryl, over at Jesus' General.

The Irish Heather’s Painting and its story 3.

May 29, 2006 – 12:07 pm

So here's the story as Sean told it to me, just yesterday, which is just as he remembers it and no wonder, with all the adrenaline that must have been in his bloodstream that night. It would probably take years of world-class therapy to erase that memory.
So it was this Fire-Man, not that one. It [...]
