July 31, 2006 – 12:46 am

July 30, 2006 – 2:16 am

Just because I don’t post anything for 72 hours, is that any reason to abandon me??? Have you no idea what this does to my self-esteem? It’s like the Tink death scene in Peter Pan; every time I get a hit that isn’t looking for mango porn I perk up a bit. Anything less than [...]

July 27, 2006 – 12:41 am

It seems I win my bet. The How Not to JDate story lives on in music. “What oft was thought, but ne’er so well expressed.”

July 26, 2006 – 1:40 am

It had to happen. Not content with spoiling Fido with doggie spas, treadmills, massages, claw polish (they’re not nails, people, they’re claws) and vegan FFS dog food, pet owners now have a brand-spankin’ new way to pretend Rover is the child they never (thank GOD) had.
Premium beer.
From Gawker, via the Hellmouth, obviously.
In Union Square this [...]
