TWL: the call

Oh my god.

sometimes i get flashbacks

Sometimes, I’m not the happy-go-lucky person you think I am.
Sometimes, I get flashbacks. Does anyone else ever get this? Like, I’ll be doing something mundane — driving to work, smoking a cigarette on the patio, watching commercials on TV — and then my mind will start wandering and twisting and turning. And [...]

That Asian Chick on Survivor

I think I speak for Asian-Americans everywhere when I say this: HOLY FUCKING CRAP, THEY FINALLY PUT AN ASIAN PERSON ON SURVIVOR! For a minute, I figured that Survivor contestants represented a cross-section of the United States, and we simply didn’t exist. Some thoughts:

She has no chance of winning. [...]

Remember when I called Britney’s Dance Beat the gayest video game ever?
Well, it still is. But running a close second is Squaresoft and Disney’s upcoming video game, Kingdom Hearts. For you non-gamers out there, Squaresoft produced the Final Fantasy Series, home of your typical RPG video game with heroes, dragons, wizards [...]

Who would bottom?

Go Ank, with the worldly hypothetical questions:

Question: If Spiderman and Batman were lovers, who would be the “quarterback” and who would be the “receiver”?

Answer: Batman would be the quarterback. Spiderman would be the receiver.

It’s true, you know. Now, how about this: Who would be the bottom: Aquaman or Batman? (Let’s assume, [...]

Randy: Check him out.

Jen is not Rosie O’Donnell

Jen (AKA “the close friend from college,” AKA “the roommate’s girlfriend”) just got back from Thailand an hour ago.

Ernie: Jen! How was your trip to Thailand?
Jen: Remember our plan to go on a diet before my trip? We’re gonna do it. We need to go on a diet.
Ernie: Uh-oh. [...]


Pope John and the Globetrotters

How did I miss this? Two years ago, the Harlem Globetrotters made Pope John Paul II an honorary member.
