You could also read Focus on the Family’s movie reviews. They have the added benefit of being so prudish and buttoned-up that they’re unintentionally hilarious to all but Focus’ intended audience.

Kohlhausen is the German translation of “you just cost me $150”.

I watched the Comedy Central Roast of Pam Anderson the other day and Courtney was off the rocker even for her. I was legitimately worried she’d fall and hit her head.

When Richie Incognito is involved in any way in calling you a disgrace, that’s some next level hate.

This may well be a dead article, but reading (and watching” “Flight of the Intruder”) by Stephen Coonts gave me a ton of perspective in the routine, ritual, and experience of A-6 drivers during Vietnam. So much so that I use a passage in my US History classes. Coonts did a wonderful job of describing the humanizing…

Just in case any US History friends are out there...the last time an Anderson tried to represent one of the Carolinas, things didn’t work out great for them...

No, Morgan Freeman on the cover of a magazine showing you how to spend a great weekend in Houston, that’s the “American Way”. (It's free for you to take on the way off the airplane)

I use this 40” TV (I bought a few years ago) as a basic kids’ room tv. I still watch football on it, play video games on it, and I generally like it. It’s perfect for general watching and if I needed another utility room tv I’d snap it up at $150 in a second.

I was in Midtown Manhattan doing touristy stuff in 2002. We went into a small bakery on the LES and a lady was going bonkers about being shorted a bagel on the order of a couple of dozen. The wife and I were 4th/5th in line. After about 20 seconds, a tall man in front of us steps forward, looks at her, says “Relax,…

In the words of one of my favorite co-workers: Sit down, shut up, wear beige.

Except the chorizo. He is fine getting rid of the “chorizos”.

AT LEAST a half dozen times my 4 year old has done this or some variation of this. I’m a little paranoid about people being in the house so I regularly lose my shit when this happens and search the house from top to bottom. Here was the last time it happened: my son told me when I was driving him to day care one…

We bought a new house about six months ago. After two weeks, the wife and I went to bed at midnight. We were tired and fell asleep right away. After about an hour, I wake up to a loud male voice saying GET UP. I grabbed a flashlight and went searching through the house and found the electrical outlet that powered the…

If I’m just sipping iced gin, I’m going with Death’s Door gin. (http://www.deathsdoorspirits.com/spirits/gin) It has a “thick” feel even when iced. Absolutely delicious.

When you can make a buffalo chicken dish in every size, you’ve achieved elite status!

I'm a big softie...during the Olympics when they cut to the American athlete with tears pouring down their face. Especially when it is some teenager who has to balance perfection on the uneven bars with differential calculus.

I cannot recommend that Thermos enough. I drink a TON of coffee during the day and hate the 931 year old Bunn coffee machine that still has grounds in it from the day Nixon resigned. I make Peet’s Coffee (best out there for the $$) in a french press the night before at 175 degrees at about 9 pm. I pour it in the…

I remember reading an anecdote abut Lynn Swann getting a compound fracture of a finger on a play and going back to the huddle oblivious of the bone sticking out. I’ve never been an athlete (I play sousaphone and trombone) but I work with several former college, and 2 pro, athletes. They always say there is another…

I’d never heard of that but that seems like a really good charity idea. I know that Nolan Ryan did something like that a few years back and Rick Reilly wrote a column about it. Fortunately my work colleague is a nice, humble man who just shrugged off his ability but he could have really made us look dumb if he wanted.
