I’m so bored I just caught myself staring at the wall and singing a song to myself about the bucket man. We need a new caption contest. I think we pretty well ragged out the last one, so here’s another. I’m having trouble coming up with words for this one, let’s see what you guys can do. As far as I can tell there are at least 2 of you out there today. I’ll buy the winner a shot of something bourbonesque: »Read More

…and then I woke up covered in milk duds and pina colada mix in the scoop of a backhoe, with no pants!
Oh hey everyone, I didn’t see you there. I was just explaining to some friends about what I did last night. More like, what I didn’t do! Oh man, what a ridiculous assortment of things to be unproud of, and feel hungover about. Let’s recap: »Read More

It’s come to my attention recently that the discussions on our fair board, particularly those of a frivolous yet mindlessly entertaining nature, are somewhat hard to break into. In fact, I’ve tested out a few aliai (yes, aliai, i made it up) in the past few weeks and found being a newbie somewhat boring, as all the jokes are extremely “inside” and hardly anybody takes the time to explain things. At best, you’ll get a link to an obscure, context-less archived post, which usually serves only to make things slightly more confusing.
But I’m not here to lecture anybody. I’m here to BE that archive to which we refer people. At the risk of making this site even more self-referential, I propose that we open this up to new people (there are 1400 readers today, ahem) to throw their proverbial hats into the internet. We’ll do it like this: I’ll make several broad, sweeping generalizations about cVillain and some of our favorite people, and then you all can jump in and talk about whatever it is… you DO here. I got all dolled up and used capital letters for this post, so help me out. Chime in with your own thoughts on cVillain, and let’s see if we can drag some new friends out of the tubework.

Hey everyone, a friend of ours was kind enough to write a review of the “Unvanquished” exhibit by FOTP guest James Nachtwey. Like the exhibit itself, Megan’s review is a haunting insight to all the things that we miss until they’re thrust in our faces. Be warned that the images can be hard to handle, nevertheless I encourage you to both read the review, and go see the exhibit in person.

I’m not going to lie to you: I used almost my entire brain writing here the last few days. This is probably going to be my swan song. Because I’m nothing if I’m not a beautiful f*cking swan. Honk.
I know the other day I talked about rivers, but that was a conversation mostly about all the places and ways one can tube on, get drunk on, meet future ex-girlfriends on, and just generally misbehave on, rivers. Which sounds kind of nice actually, everybody click that link.

That’s right, I said “rapping tomato”/He rapped all day/From April to May/…And also, guess what, it was me.
- Homer J. Simpson, National Hero.
Because I am often ignorant in matters of common knowledge, and because I sometimes have trouble retaining important day-to-day details about how to live a safe and healthy life, I was unaware that tomatoes could carry salmonella. Much to my dismay, my lack of knowledge does not actually stop tomatoes from carrying salmonella. But I do know one thing: something like this seems to happen every summer.

Sorry, I didn’t see you there. Looks like you caught me sending and receiving email on my iPhone, which also has Google and even the internet! Oh man I can’t wait to join the ranks of you obnoxious bastards. The new iPhone was unveiled yesterday, and unless you were living under an e-rock at your i-job, you watched the Mac Rumors liveblog and had little daydreams about going to the store and buying the iPhone last night.

You guys that was a seriously hot weekend. And not just because of something that probably happened in politics or perhaps a war zone, but because the temperatures ran me over like a freakin’ steamroller. I mean seriously, kickball? Even the people hiding in the shade got a sunburn.

There comes a time in every man’s life when he gets kicked out of Gobbler’s Coors Light party, and realizes that he stands delicately poised between the horns of a dilemma: does he walk home alone through gangland, or does he take a ride with a guy who everybody assumes is sober just because he drives a taxi? Or does he sleep in Gobbler’s outhouse?

Some of you may have heard: I broke my back this weekend. I haven’t been to the doctor, I know it’s broken simply because it doesn’t work anymore. Normally I’m not such a nancy about injuries, but I feel like I’m under attack by electric needles. I took Vicodin this morning and the pain sent the pain reliever running for the hills. All I got was this lousy liver damage.
So here’s my question: does anybody have any recommendations for doctors? I don’t necessarily needs scrips, (and certainly don’t out any of your reliable pharmacists on the internet [just email me]) but I would like to know if there are any particularly good (or bad) chiropractors in the area. I have insurance, and I am not a drug addict.
