(I am a FanHouse author, but the views expressed in this post are only my own, not AOL’s) On Monday, a deal between AOL and Fantasy Sports Girl was made public over at FanHouse. The basic gist? Tarted-up actresses are going to be reading cue-cards about fantasy football every week. There are so many terrible things [...]
Listen, I understand. We as law students are taking out tens, sometimes hundreds, of thousands of dollars in loans. We want a payout and we want it now. But wanting something and thinking you’re entitled to it are two wholly different things. Take, for example, this Ask Metafilter question on getting a “good” job: [...]
An open letter to a stupid woman Dear Moron, The main drag in town has a speed limit of 20 miles per hour – a completely reasonable number, and one which I follow quite strictly. It would be embarrassing to have to explain to my boss why I was speeding down main street. This morning was quite [...]
There’s a certain degree of irritation that I have with people who get pissy about alcohol consumption. There are limits to everything. 10 glasses of water a day is probably not too many. 10 bottles of coke probably is. 10 glasses of beer almost certainly is. There’s a certain kind of person, though, who looks [...]
I don’t know where I found this video… but it is infuriating. (Warning: if watching videos of basic math being done on a whiteboard makes you nauseous, you might want to skip the video) Of the three “alternate” methods, the only one I think that can have a reasonable argument made for it is the second [...]
Now calm down, Amanda… this one isn’t about you…specifically…or is it?1 Ken blogged today about relationship gripes in response to some posts of Dizzy’s… I agree with him but, instead of just letting you read his post, I’m going to say what he said in a slightly different way1… one that will probably piss off more [...]
Okay, look… over the past, oh, 24 hours I have seen dozens of away messages, facebook groups, events, and so on lamenting new facebook. Ignoring that some of these folks might just not like the look of New Facebook — something which makes very little sense to me. The mini-feed you can minimize and that [...]
In the August 14th edition of Sports Illustrated, columnist Rick Reilly chastises a PONY League Coach for his decision, in the bottom of the last inning of a championship game, to walk the best hitter and pitch to the worst hitter instead. The reason, he suggests, that this is makes the coaches bad people is that [...]
I often take Scout to the park. I usually lift him up onto the base of the stone drinking fountain and let him have a drink of water. Especially when it’s hot outside. Never have I been approached or even looked at disapprovingly. Today, however, while scout was having a nice, cool drink, a crotchety old [...]
I’m going to keep this apolitical, even though it is about a politician. Here’s what I don’t understand. How on earth did Rep. McKinney not get indicted? This has eluded me for days. She was not wearing her Representatives pin. She tried to bypass the metal detectors at the capitol. When she was stopped, she actually [...]
