Video games themselves, as an art form, are generally looked down upon, so it’s not very surprising that video game music is almost entirely ignored. Is there a legitimate reason for this? Any gamer will tell you there’s good video game music (Super Mario Bros.) and bad video game music (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles): The [...]
“Sabre”
MICHAEL [spying the package that’s just arrived]: I got a big box, yes I do! I got a big box, how ‘bout you? [points to Erin]
ERIN: I got a big box, yes I do! I got a big box, how ‘bout you? [points to Oscar]
OSCAR: I think you don’t know what you’re saying.
Sabre hits the [...]
A lot of people categorize Sarah Palin as “hot.” And while there’s something to be said for a politician who’s the basis for a porno, there’s a lot hotter politicians out there, if you take them the time to look. Nothing’s sexier than power mixed with beauty, so here’s 11 and a half of the [...]
5. Correcting the Boss’s Grammar
It doesn’t matter whether they don’t know the difference between “which” and “that” or “it’s” and “its” or “when” and “where,” you’re taking your life in your hands if you want to criticize the guy who holds your future in their hand.

“The Banker”
Last night, on Rainn Wilson’s Twitter account (*cough* you’re welcome, Rainn Wilson *cough*), he reposted to fan tweets, one proclaiming “The Banker” to be The Office’s best episode, the other, calling it the worst. I can understand both points.
It’s only a matter of time before a long-running series airs a clip show, and it [...]
Well, Honolulu is certainly the silliest
Dover was the name of that slow kid in middle school with the runny nose; Sacramento makes your teeth rattle. Salem has too much to prove. Carson City spills out the left side of your mouth. Topeka makes your face do gymnastics. “Concord” sounds like you’re shouting someone’s name. Denver [...]
If you listened to our current podcast, you may have noticed that I mysteriously vanished some 15 or so minutes in. I’m not sure myself what, precisely, transpired. I can only chalk it up to the pressures of moving and Smirnoff red label.

It’s that time of year again: Lake Superior State University has published their “List of Words to Be Banished from the Queen’s English for Mis-use, Over-use and General Uselessness,” and, once again, it is written in the same drab, condescending tone I find so common among my inferiors.
Once again, LSSU uses the term “Queen’s English,” [...]
Overheard:
Guy in a Liquor Store: Y’hear about the Northwest thing?
Gal in a Liquor Store: Yeah. Geeze. Leave it to Obama to let someone like that on the plane.
Guy: I hear he got on in Amsterdam.
Gal: Figures. Them guys know nuthin’ about bein’ safe.

Every workplace has one: that really, really, God-f@cking-dammit hot girl–and the job where I once worked is no exception. The one I had a crush on was a new hire, but the job where I once worked was never really strapped for r,r,G-f-dhgs.
I did really miss our last one, Amy, because Ames and I used [...]
