THE JO-TEL …believes some of what Nathaniel and John say, but believes England is still our sovreign

Just kidding, I’m still sober. Lame. So “Answers in Genesis,” the people that run this creationist museum wherein I am doomed to wear a saddle to show how humans coexisted with me (no they didn’t), have a website now. Lots of fun stuff guys. Lots of “answers in Genesis,” dudes. Hey curators, tell me if […]

The man who boasts that he always tells the truth is simply a man with no respect for it. It is not a thing to be thrown about loosely, like small change; it is something to be cherished and hoarded and disturbed only when necessary. The […]

One of the best things about my new job (which I might have gotten fired from on Friday. More on that next week.) is that I can walk to work. It’s 2.5 miles from my house, which is the perfect distance in my opinion. If I wake up early, it’s a 40 minute walk. Wake […]

Went to visit the Box Office. (Congratulations Jessica and Al).
Went to get margaritas with Emily at Chevy’s.
Went to Bar Book […]

Thrill: sidetracked by early bedtime, non-attendance
Johnny D: sidetracked by trying to learn the guitar solos in Eno’s “Golden Hours”, being walled in by dirty laundry
Shark: sidetracked by domeination, Sunn O)))
Hip E.: sidetracked by unfortunately timed funniness drought
PETE: sidetracked by […]

Reid: Anyone want to meet up with me and a few peeps at Green’s or Bayside to watch the game tonight? Starts at 6ish.
Shark: Dude, I’d love to, but I’m going to eat a bunch jagged glass shards instead. Maybe next time!
Reid: Sorry Mark, I forgot, you hate life. My bad.
Shark: No, just yuppies.
Reid:
