No, I don't like "Man vs. Wild". I know, judging by the marathons that are being run on the Discovery Channel, that the show is very popular. Then again, "Are You Smarter Than A Smarmy Fourth Grader" is popular, so maybe popularity doesn't mean anything ( Read more... )

"Being with a woman all night never hurt no professional baseball player. It's staying up all night looking for a woman that does him in." - Casey Stengel ( Read more... )

It has come to the end of this palette of experiences. I have coated it with enough shades of brown and moral ambiguity to drawn on an old sepia Western, like a bulimic painting with sarsaparilla-tainted vomit, spreading the bile across the birch-beer canvas. It would do plurality injustice to say that there were missed opportunities; and ( Read more... )

I want to take a moment to explain why I find the Imus in the Morning show so valuable, and why I don’t feel the outrage over his recent comments are warranted at all. What Imus does, day in and day out, is attack political correctness. This is to be rewarded especially in an environment where it seems that all people can do is attack sexual ( Read more... )

I suddenly have the best realization. The problem with women, or the problem of women, or, if we're feeling very fascistic, the "woman question", has always been presented in the most egotistical in terms on my behalf. In other words, I see a deficit, and I go about trying to find out what the problem is. But while I am always sure it is their ( Read more... )

Monday is the best day of the week, isn't it in a sense. It's the day of the week where things are their most normal. Perhaps they are not, as we say, desirable, but they're in motion. They're right at their beginning. At 8 AM on a Monday, anything is possible. But upon riding in the car to some unknown location, like a dead-end job in a junk-yard ( Read more... )

The common conception, as reason might state, is often the correct one. You get a common group of 20 people who say things, and observe the same observables, and you get the same boring snow-plow of life, clearing the roads for the common ground, everything open. Last night, I reached the apex of knowing something, but like the Anna Nicole Smith ( Read more... )

Excerpt 1: It is of absolutely no surprise that the modern European woman is the least afflicted, possibly not afflicted at all, with the conception of the Errol Flynn-esque nature of the way a man should act that is present in America. This is of course because of greater Enlightenment in general, growing in cultures which teach women their equal ( Read more... )

Memphis feels ... over for me. It's not that I hate the city proper. It's not exactly that I love it either. There was something about Jackson that made me fall in love with it. I felt like Joseph Conrad, venturing deeper forth into the unknown, the Kisangani or the Stanleyville. Memphis isn't Memphrica: it's Kinshamerica. Like Kinshasa, there is a ( Read more... )
