Old Fashioned 101 →
When you work from home, its always 5pm.
Circa 1800, the Cocktail was a “hair of the dog” morning drink that tamed spirits with water, sugar and bitters (patent medicine). The late 19th Century expanded the use of the word “cocktail” to encompass just about any mixed drink. Since then, the Old Fashioned—literally, the old-fashioned way of making a cocktail—has been our contemporary expression of...

Lets all have an Existential Crisis!
I’m doing work for a prominent nature and science channel today, and the editor I’m working with sends me a five minute, 1080p, HD video of bison eating in a large field. In the foreground of this video, is the remains of a dead bison, just the hide and the bones. The rest is gone. The video progresses, and one of the bison is eating within a couple feet of the carcass. And then it is...

James, is Richard Crothers IV a cousin of yours?
I wonder how disappointed the first three Dick Crothers are today.
There’s a place called Sandwich, Illinois.
There’s a place called the Sandwich Courthouse!

vintage1983:
I saw Pela perform in 2006 and the lead guitarist smashed his guitar on their last song. So awesome. And then the headliners played.
Ah yes, Pela. I saw them a couple times in DC. We Are the Augustines just isn’t the same.

Talking Football
Me: Was this what you were talking about when you were commenting on the new Panthers logo? http://onion.com/zmazwN
HelpHelp: Yup! I don't see it. Did they change the whiskers or something?
Me: No, they added a QB who could demolish the rookie QB passing record, and still manage to have a losing season.
HelpHelp: Oh, is he the one who does backwards half-somersaults to score touchdowns? Or am I thinking of some running back somewhere?
Me: Well, DeShawn Jackson likes to do flips where he leaves the ball at the goal line. If you're thinking of Ahmad Bradshaw, he likes to do the, cross-arm, "I don't wanna play no more," squat-into-the-end-zone.
HelpHelp: I think you misspelled "mo" by adding r-e.
Me: Now you're being racist.

I will not be able to unclench for a week.
Tonight at Sing Sing we played the Karaoke Game
Here’s what I picked:
The song to be played at my funeral: As I Lay Me by Sophie B Hawkings
The song my parents taught me: Heart of Rock and Roll by Huey Lewis & The News
The song I’m embarrassed I know the words to: K-Ci & Jo Jo’s classic All My Life
M’lady lost her voice an hour and 15 minutes in. Victory.

Space Jam was staged?? →
Blanko, the Shawn Bradley Monstar, failed to register a single stat throughout the course of the game. Even in a world where Elmer Fudd has a 40-inch vertical, Bradley’s “talent” can’t muster even a shot attempt. This is the most realistic aspect of the movie.
