The greatest tournament ever?
Forget March Madness. Ignore the World Series. Every so often, a tournament comes along that completely encapsulates the human condition and captivates the world. Enter – the Name of the Year bracket. From the website: “Name of the Year was founded in 1983 on an Ivy League campus. Its mission has remained unchanged: to discover, [...]

Video Game Health Care Bill
CollegeHumor put together a great spoof of the health care debate, using video game characters as a backdrop. Obama is giving a joint address to Congress with some quality lines – “Insurers will no longer be able to deny coverage to mini-bosses based on preexisting weaknesses.” Huge bonus points for the Toejam and Earl cameo!

I have amassed many parking tickets over the years, dating back to my college days ($5 UPD tickets [...]

Pee silently, young grasshopper
As a guy, I have never worried too much about bathroom noises. In fact, I support them. Women, however, are another story. Before using the bathroom, my girlfriend often turns on the sink and shower while blasting Pavarotti. The only way to block out more noise would be to form a black hole somewhere near [...]

The g-spot is a myth!
As you may have heard, recent research from King’s College in London has suggested that the G-spot is a myth. According to the report: The study suggests that there is no genetic basis for the G-spot and that environmental or psychological factors may contribute to whether a woman believes that she has a G-spot.

An email from a former lover
I can’t believe you…you just moved in with your girlfriend and yet you spend all weekend trying to get with me?? You know we can never be together again. I appreciate that you want me to meet you at your hotel in Chicago, but you can’t expect that I would risk ruining your job AND [...]
