Is anyone else bothered that onamonapia isn’t an onamonapia? If you’re on tumblr claiming to spiritually identify as a trickster imp, are you Rumplestiltskinkin? You can waste your time and...

The boa killed the first two fluteplayers and yet nevertheless, she was undeterred. She just smiled. “Third time’s the charmer.” I recently saw a self help book called The Courage To Be Rich ...

If only “Starf” was a word in English, I could make some really great Nintendo “Starf Ox” jokes. Maaaaaybe an Icelandic retro-gamer would enjoy a joke about the hard-working (starf means work i...

If I ever met John Leguizamo, I am almost certain I would slip up and call him Log Jenuizamo. We must be kind to each other, much as we can, in the moments we’re in, and we can undo all this ...

The holiday season is so extended these days, it feels like they’re putting up Happy Hondadays decorations the day after Hondaween. Observation alters outcome. Subatomic particles in experime...

Craaaaaanberry bidet… the kind they prescribe if your UTI’s sore… James Cameron trying to make Avatar still a thing like a white girl on Twitter trying to make slang she heard Ru Paul say onc...

Bail reform ain’t about “criminals going free”. It’s about those accused of crimes not being punished extra for being poor. You all have some deep economic Stockholm Syndrome if you cant see th...

IKEA killed early 90s metal by using up all the umlauts. Paul Rudd ate Dick Clark’s heart and gained his power. A pastry in the form of Adam Driver called “Phyllo Ren”. Arranged marriage ...

I like to believe that King Vitaman cereal is no longer made because there was a bloody anti-royalist revolution and he was probably replaced by, oh, Comrade Crunch. When Bizarro Superman tri...

A country cover of “Hey Ya” called “Yee Haw” would be 100,000 more legitimate fusion of country and hip-hop than “Old Town Road”. “You are the walking embodiment of the avian flu virus!” she ...

We aspirated on our aspirations, we consumed until we started coughing up from consumption, wallowed so far in the depths of our dreams the coma was inevitable. We were Americans until we Ameri...

Is a gluten free girlfriend a GF GF? If you consider that mayo is half eggs, when you’re making chicken salad, the mother and child reunion is truly only an emulsion away. We’ve managed to ...

The year 20-20, you will have two critical rolls to play. Your movie about a crazy road race through zombie country will be called CANNIBAL RUN. It’s like vampires say, red sky at night, im...
dec 31 bonus barrage blow-out (360 weird ideas!)
Sunday night into Monday morning, we will have anything from a dusting to a foot and a half of snow, depending how desperate for clicks the given news site is. Papa John looks like a melting...
