Me: I’m Paul Newman, from Cool Hand Luke, digging and refilling my grave.
Dad: The sun also rises.
Me: You know that’s the title of the Hemingway novel about a guy named Jake who can't get an erection, right?

– Podthoughts by Colin Marshall
So, uh, this is why I can’t stand watching or reading political news anymore. When you are 15, caring about this stuff is okay because you are young and stupid and think the news covers things that are actually things. Now that I’m older? I got more...

Put This On • LBJ Buys Pants
Two great things about this. The first is LBJ had a constant testicle cutting problem. He probably had a related bloody underwear problem. The second is that LBJ burps rudely in to peoples ears.

On Apple and "Competition"
This whole “competition is good” thing is bullshit.

Oh Verizon
Every time, since January 2007, I went into a Verizon store with my family I have been told, without me saying a thing, that their phones* are better than the iPhone. Verizon employees are consistently slow and while waiting for them to fix my parent’s phone I would pull out my iPhone. Each time I did this they always would come up to me and say “that phone sucks” or something similar. I know they...

Facebook and I Have to Go Out at Night
I have gone back and forth on Facebook. Admittedly, my reasons for being down on Facebook were dumb. Very dumb. Now that I am in like with Facebook, the public says I’m not allowed to be.
See, people hate Facebook. They hate it with all they got. It is not really Facebook they hate. They hate the horrible people who use it. In their defense, Facebook does let you be a horrible person,...
