The Best Crayon
Spider-Man Reviews Crayons “Blue Violet,” meet “Red Violet.” You guys are brother and sister. That means no hanky panky. And your mother was a big whore. Now that’s some funny stuff right there.

Political Intelligence
According to some guy named Converse who did studies about 50 years ago, and the New Yorker story The Unpolitical Animal, only about 10% of people in the US have a clear understanding of what the various parties and candidates stand for. Even when people think that they are thinking in political terms, even when…

Cookin’ Eggs with a Blowtorch
There’s something I love about the videos over onWhat Happens If I…?. Is it the wanton destruction? Is it the juvenile joy of discovery? I’m not sure, but whatever it is, please bring me more.

Paramount Ranch
This morning, I took a drive up to Agoura Hills to check out the Paramount Ranch. It was kind of cool. It’s a federal park where they shot a whole bunch of westerns and stuff. The group I went with had a federal park ranger to give us a tour and put on a big…

I Know That Feeling
If you have a chance to see the movie, Garden State, and you like off-beat sort of semi-dark dramas, then get yourself to a theater. I liked it a bunch. You know that feeling when you’re with a group of friends, particularly friends you haven’t seen in a while, and you feel kind of disconnected…
