I don’t mean it as a general proposition, even though it may be true). I’m talking about Halloween here. I realize this helpful announcement is coming a bit late, but there’s still time to salvage what’s left of your dignity. What follows is a brief (and non-exhaustive) list of costumes which are not clever:

Oh, sure. Auburn has done a lot this year to re-emphasize just how much they suck. Played to a 3-2 win over Mississippi State1. They lost to Vandy and even Arkansas. They fired their offensive coordinator in the middle of the season after not allowing him to run his offense. So it’s not like the giant [...]

I’m thinking this is almost more fun than watching a cat play with a laser pointer. I’m not sure he’s really figured out that I’m in charge of the pointer yet. If he has, he really doesn’t care.

No, the title to this entry is not my Inuit name, or something bizarre like that. You see, November (in addition to being the birth-month of one of the coolest guys any of you know) is National Novel Writing Month. The point behind it is this, as best I can tell: the main thing standing [...]

As you may have noticed, PeteHoliday.com remains the URL of the blog, but is no longer the title. Most commenters seemed to be in agreement that The Devil Went Down to Georgia was a befitting title and I’m not one to argue. This weekend Hilary came to town to visit. It was my first chance to [...]

Today is the marks two great occasions. First and foremost, the anniversary of Charlsie’s birth, so happy birthday to her. You should all buy her presents. Second, as of today, I have been an Atlantan for one full month. I’ve lived a lot of places, and I have to say that this is (at least so [...]

Indianapolis is often referred to as a “bright blue dot” in a big red state. That’s why it should come as no surprise to anyone that the city has an estimated 105% voter registration. Good work, Indy! In other news, there are some internet rumblings that maybe Obama was a member of the New Party) after [...]

Charlsie sent this Op-Ed today and I agree with it 100%: I’ll say this upfront: I hope the titans of finance who expect us little people to save them are ashamed of themselves. But at the same time, in painting Main Street solely as a victim of a rapacious Wall Street, we [...]

I have a fairly broad sense of humor. I generally find practical jokes pretty funny. This one, not so much: The 20-year-old Atlanta woman was never raped or injured but said she got a steady flow of telephone calls, text messages and visits to her apartment on Sept. 19th all from [...]
