Except my sweatpants don’t yell at me for being antisocial. Chef, however, is on your side.

One of the light switches in the bathroom just reversed itself spontaneously. Now instead of flipping the switch up to turn on the light, this turns the light off, and vice versa.
Spooky? Or is my house going to burn down from bad wiring?
The Unbearable Whiteness of Being, featuring not-Cowboy Curtis
Published December 22nd, 2007 in Celebrity, Humor, Racism, Weirdness and Work. 29 CommentsEarly this week I committed a serious faux pas.
It’s funny, really, that through my youth, and then my college years, all the time I was immersed in progressive literature, identity politics and activism, I would find myself in the most diverse environment I’ve enjoyed yet at an entry-level job in whitebread middle America. [...]
The First Casualty of Marriage
Published September 25th, 2007 in Feminism, Marriage and Weirdness. 21 CommentsAs alluded to in my previous post, I’m having a hard time adopting the language of marriage.

Joe Heckel said he and his son were moving a TKO brand heavy punching bag from their garage to the basement when they decided to see what was inside in case the bag later leaked. But Heckel said [...]
The Amy Sedaris Craft Contest
Funniest news bite I’ve seen in awhile:
British tourists have left the residents of one charming Austrian village effing and blinding by constantly stealing the signs for their oddly named village.
While British visitors are finding it hilarious, the residents of Fucking are failing to see the funny side.

I am Almost Ashamed to be Reading This
Published November 21st, 2006 in Music and Weirdness. 5 CommentsMTV Video Music Awards 1992:
In 1992, MTV had requested that Nirvana perform their smash hit “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” while the band members themselves had indicated they preferred to play their new songs, “Rape Me” and “tourette’s”.
