The smell of garden hose baking in the heat, half the stale water bubbling up within, half cheap rubber gassing-off in temperatures it can’t fully sustain. The smell of summer, but in that bad ...

Two weeks or so from now, a new Tulsa massacre, rednecks dying in respirators instead of burning down Black Wall Street. It will be poetic, of course, but I’d rather no one died, myself, not ev...

When young, all you want to do is see the world burn for all its cruelty. When old, you see how righteous rage like that is where all the cruelty comes from and want to save the good remaining ...

There are worse things to name your car than “Liam Nissan”. You know what’d be a really niche parody? Metallica’s “Harvester of Sorrow” about the manager at a Sbarro’s. When you first hear ...

I like to think that in the aftermath of that “Do You Love Me Now I Can Dance” song, it turns out that she loves him even LESS now that he can dance because he’s such a damned show off about it...

I despise guns but grew up in gun culture & pay attention: look at gun ads in magazines 30 years ago, they’re all some guy bringing in a duck, holding up the antlers of a buck. Now they all...

Breyers Ice Cream and Lindt Chocolates should get together and do a flavour called “Breyers Lindt”. Your indie rock band will be called “The Abandoned Breadmakers”. Think about it. Every Amer...

Casinos have no clocks upon their walls, casinos have no windows at all, ugly carpets forever force us to look up at pretty blinking lights demanding we press our luck. It isn’t accidental, libra...

Why didn’t P. Diddy ever sell “Puff pastries”? An even more jank Long John Silvers, like a K-Mart Long John Silvers, an even worse pirate themed fish chain called Yaaaaaaarbys. A terrible n...

Seeing Adam Sandler’s career devolve into terrible direct-to-video releases to give his old buddies jobs, maybe the Emperor should’a told him how his faith in his friends was his weakness not, ...

My student loans are 19 years old now, almost four times longer than the “Confederacy” lasted. That’s how short your “history not hate” that you defend so vehemently lasted yet I see no statues...

When Tarantino says “TGIF!” it’s not that he’s looking forward to the weekend. He’s saying “Toes Go In First”. Run like hell. In founding Swordlandia, he didn’t have to renounce his identity ...
