I am confused. Is there some sort of secret pact among NFL quarterbacks to see who can endorse the most embarrassing product? I mean, it made sense when Brett Favre was the face of Wrangler, because he is 98 and old people love Wranglers, and then Tim Tebow did that anti-abortion thing during the Super […]
So, I don’t know if you heard, and I’m fairly positive that if you aren’t in California then you didn’t hear, but yesterday San Diego County was affected by a 15 hour blackout that left 3 million + customers without power from about 3:30pm until the wee hours of the night. For someone who never […]
If I had to think of the top five ways that I’d NOT want to be found dead, I’d say that “naked, wearing a dog collar, in a hot tub” would probably be #2, just barely above “with heroin in my butt” but definitely under “on the toilet covered in poop.” Unfortunately for Brett Cummins […]
That’s right – Nike is releasing a real life pair of the MAGs, the sweet shoes Marty McFly (played by Michael J. Fox) wore in the hit trilogy, Back to the Future back in the eighties. Somehow, I was not super intrigued by these, until I found out that there are only 1500 pairs of […]
I remember when I realized I was bored with MySpace. It was like, a Tuesday night, and I was browsing through pages really late at night, and opened an acquaintance’s page. Suddenly I was EYE RAPED by multiple sparkly sayings and flashing glitter lights and auto-play videos and an embedded song that I had no […]
Ah yes, the golden age of Saturday Night Live. Before ex-members of All That turned up every skit, and women were hired (apparently) only for their looks, we had a glorious sketch parodying the awkwardness of NPR talk shows. Ana Gasteyer and Molly Shannon starred as a hilariously vested duo with awful haircuts who interviewed […]
I recently watched an episode of Anthony Bourdain’s ‘No Reservations’ show where he talked about “going bamboo,” or vacationing to a country so amazing that you end up staying forever. This usually happens in tropical paradises like Indonesia or Vietnam, but I could see myself “going bamboo” in Norway after seeing these two dueling news […]
When I first read the headline for this Time Magazine article, I believed it was saying that those who get married before the age of 18 are probably have some preexisting mental issues, and I was taken aback. I knew that young married couples were probably misinformed and likely very naive, but psychologically unstable? YEESH. […]
Hyperbole (n): the use of exaggeration as a rhetorical device or figure of speech. It may be used to evoke strong feelings or to create a strong impression, but is not meant to be taken literally. Sometimes people use “hyperbole” to make their point. Like when people say, “Oh my god, that was the best […]
So, not only is this a TUESDAY BLUESDAY, but it’s also the Tuesday after a holiday weekend… which makes it, like, 100, maybe 500 times worse? Luckily for you we’re going to brighten your afternoon with a couple great success stories from OBC, in our weekly installment of TestiMOANial Tuesday: “I met the most beautiful […]
