THE JO-TEL … illegal blog downfield

Okay.
Things are looking good for the most part. Notice the improved sidebar. Click on any name to be taken directly to a page that list all the posts by that author. You may notice that Johnny D.’s name is not hyperlinked.
That’s because he’s never posted.
Also, now we can post video! (sort of)
More Shit-Hot Features coming […]

I’m currently trying to figure out how to upgrade to the new version of Wordpress, which is the software we now use instead of editme. The new version seems cool, and it will allow us a lot more control over out sidebar, so like, shit like the “Currently Eating” section won’t show up inexplicably at […]

This is my first post to grow out of a comments thread. Very organic, very old Jo-Tel (minus the whole “beng funny” thing). Anyhow, it’s about books.

If you’re writing an article for Gawker about how Anderson Cooper goes to the gayest gym in New York, you have a couple options for the accompanying pic. The obvious choice would be to find a picture of Anderson Cooper looking super gay:

There is a moment during a day of drinking when dawn (with her rosey fingers) touches the sun gleaming off the lake speeding by the window of the car and you realize that, yes, this drunkenness with wear off. Yes. That’s exactly what I was thinking when I selected the Yes album (no […]

In college, I never went to San Francisco except on a bus with a bunch of nascent yuppie sorority chicks. I had seen parts of the city but I had no idea how I got there or where Sinbad’s was in relation to the Trap Door and the Iron Horse. When I graduated and matriculated […]
