This Week’s Top 10 Videos… you lucky buggers! This video is a trekkie’s wet dream. Not one but two Spocks appear in this hilarious Audi commercial. They’re in a race to see who gets to the gold course first. The ending made me chuckle and […]
I would venture a guess that a lot of people have taken the nude selfie and sent it to one we felt amorous or lustful towards. You may have made the mistake of including your face or other identifying marks in those pictures. You thought […]
The Bugle is a news podcast for people who aren’t entirely interested in the actual news. Hosted by British comedians Andy Zaltzman (BBC Radio 4) and John Oliver (The Daily Show), this free download is as satirical as it gets. Although, real news topics are […]
In a brave lil’ act of Internet discourse management, Huffington Post writer and editor Rebecca Searles posted a sweet graphic November 1, 2013. The Internet (mostly Facebook and other social media) have been proliferating the image these past two weeks and the comments have been […]
Did I get your attention, Internet scoundrels? I hope so, because I’m about to plant a truth tree and y’all gonna watch that delicious thing grow. I’ve been reading Michael Pollan and butting into conversations between vegetarians and vegans for some time now and I […]
In a civil works move that is nothing but pragmatic, Amsterdam has begun harvesting alcoholic folks to clean streets. According to Nicolas Delaunay at The Huffington Post, this program gets alcoholics out of family friendly public spaces and fulfilling their duty to a cleaner, prettier […]
It’s a well known fact now that being obese is not just about the food you eat. Americans are a leading example of the gross, sedentary lifestyle (we do love our video games, delivery services, and oversized automobiles), and not moving plus eating garbage makes […]
Super nerds have comic shops, Magic: The Gathering drafts, and weekly Dungeons and Dragons sessions, but it’s hard to find a pleasant middle ground sometimes for secret nerds, even with current technology. Nerds still face ostracization, most likely by the very people who have nerdy […]
In my voyages I‘ve encountered quite a number of lazy folk, each with their own set of excuses as to what makes their vegetative states legitimate. I’ve heard many people defending laziness, but I’m here to dispel these unproductive purgatories and inspire you, my Internet […]
Double (Imperial) Chocolate Coffee Oatmeal Stout – 8.3% ABV/60 IBU “Children, guess what Daddy is having for breakfast this morning? BEER!” Truth be told, I don’t have any kids (of which I am aware). There may be one wandering around in Thailand that looks like a […]

Wil Anderson is an iconic and well-rounded comedian… in Australia. Don’t let his geographical roots fool you; his comedy is of a worldwide standard, it just takes Aussies a little longer to make it in a more northerly hemisphere. Given that, he has moved to […]
I could spend just as much time singing praises for the wonderful world of porn as I could do condemning it. Its effects on those who have grown up with it at their youthful fingertips are the topic of many a hot debate. But let’s […]
Yoga pants – the item of the moment. If we can indeed give such a title to an item of clothing as we would Ryan Gosling or quinoa. The thing that memes and dreams are made of. Those sexy, stretchy, silhouette enhancing, boner-inducing poor excuse […]
