About 10 days ago I damaged my right hand. No bones were broken (save for a few chips) but I dislocated either two or three metacarpals. Depending on your belief system, relationship to me, thoughts on my character, and various and sundry other factors, you can choose to believe in one of the [...]

My follicles are tingling
January 29th, 2008 · 2 Comments
It’s that time of year again. For one solid month, men can hark back to the days of their ancestors when the weather wasn’t held at bay by doors and windows, when deer were more likely to be stalked and impaled on a handmade arrow than get run over in traffic, when the seas [...]

On women and their bad driving
January 25th, 2008 · 2 Comments
A headline like that begs a lengthy disclaimer. First off, I don’t hate women–I’m no misogynist. In the words of David Brent, “How can I hate women, my Mum’s one.” Stereotypes applied to a single person can lead to bad things. I’m not singling out any particular female I know, I’m [...]

Fun with the Pitcam
November 28th, 2007 · No Comments
If you don’t already know, the kind folks at UNC Resnet installed a sweet webcam in Student Stores focused on the pit, a student gathering place nestled among Student Stores, Lenoir Dining Hall, the two libraries, and the Union. The Pitcam serves up a nice diversion and helps subdue the swells of nostalgia that [...]

Halloweenformation
October 22nd, 2007 · No Comments
If you’re like me then you’ve probably waited at least this long to start thinking in earnest about your Halloween costume. In these situations I find it’s sometimes best to anticipate what others will wear before deciding for yourself. This may look like a difficult proposition on the outset, but let me point out a [...]

I thought R. Kelly had reached the apex of inanity with his Trapped in the Closet video series, but he has broken through the ceiling with his newest hit Real Talk. Many thanks to Clay for informing me of Mr. Kelly’s newest work. Words do it little justice, so…
