66% of THE JO-TEL is “losing it Scalia style”

Last night was the 15th anniversary of a local German restaurant, Suppenküche. As German restaurants go, Suppenküche has a great beer selection. As anniversaries go, the beer selection was heavily discounted (I currently have a very cheap hangover). To make things even better, the bartender is a friend of ours. Shark, […]

After tryouts for the gay softball team, I went over to Alison and Ellen's house for a little thing I like to call "Nick's birthday party". But, I hasten to digress for a moment on the topic of Nick. Dude's got a pretty enviable situation going. Apparently he made some bones doing […]

Every drink of booze, every late night results in someone phoning in sick to the afternoon-after day-trip to […]

So ladies and gentlemen, the day is almost upon us when all Americans join together to cook, drink, and play with explosives. No, Silly, not the Fourth of July … Valentine’s Day! Now excuse me while I email that joke to Jay Leno with the subject line “Kevin Eubanks is going to lose his shit!”
I […]

Thrill inquired about the purpose of events involving walking around in underwear. To be honest, I don’t care to proffer neat little explanations as to why such events are “productive” or “socially useful” or “makes people laugh”. I didn’t have fun because of any of those reasons. Basically this whole organized (from NY to SF, […]

The results of the third annual indie rock draft are motherfucking in. In a surprise turn of events Shark is dethroned for the first year ever!! Just kidding I won again. PETE came in second, usurping Johnny D’s perennially second place role. In Johnny D’s defense, his time is unoccupied these days by things […]
