I feel that it’s very important to inform the Internet that the whole theory that “you can’t smell stinky pee unless you’ve actually eaten the asparagus yourself” is, in fact, WRONG. That’s right. IT’S WRONG! Last night, Tobyjoe ate asparagus and I did not. Two hours later, his piss smelled so stinky, it made my…

Pictures from our Sunday. (click the image below.) This one is my favorite. It’s going to be the cover of our first Freckles release. (Although, some asshat in Europe started a band AFTER the fact called “The Freckles.” I shall Judy Blume their asses.)

This month, Tobyjoe and I have decided to mail out two books. We announced the names this morning. If you’re interested in joining us, you don’t have to receive a book in order to do so. This month, we chose one non-fictional book and one fictional book. We’re trying to jumpstart the site a little…

The inspection on my 30-year-old car expired on January 30th. I took it to a place on McGuinness a few months ago and they failed it. The guy at Two Guys said (and I quote), “No one in their right mind will pass this car.” And then he told us it would cost us 1500…

I keep thinking about that scene in Short Cuts when Ann Finnigan (Andie MacDowell) orders a really complicated and special cake for her son’s birthday. Before she’s able to pick it up, and before his actual birthday, her son is hit by a car and killed. Andy Bitkower (Lyle Lovett) bakes the cake and takes…

The Barbarian Group took us all out last night. We started at Loreley, a German beer garden, where I didn’t have any beer. Nor did I sample the Wiener Schnitzel in a German bun. But others did! And I had the word SCHNITZEL on the brain for the rest of the evening. Schnitzel. I did…

So, Jake Dobkin of Gothamist fame linked to Cool Props. (The Morning News linked to it last year before it had a real home. Pretty cool. Can’t wait until summer.) I told Tobyjoe the moment it went up, I would stay clear of the comments section as Gothamist (while totally awesome), tends to have some…

I have always felt a certain amount of bewildered awe regarding the plethora of hanging window meat in my neighborhood. And I think this image captures both the neighborhood and its meat. Edited to Add: (Email received this morning from my father regarding the picture.) This would have been my comment had the comments been…

Jean Schmidt, who said no to a Cincinnati-area Republican club candidate’s debate, might have a stand-in. Rachel Dratch of SNL has been asked to stand in for Ms. Schmidt. For those of you who might not be aware of who Jean Schmidt is, back in November she was the one who was booed during a…
