For the Love of God, Make Ernie Stop Talking About That God-Damned Game Show He Was On

Okay, there’s been one more story I’ve been meaning to tell you about when I was on an episode of the Weakest Link: Even though I have yet to see the episode (although if you’re living in San Francisco, it airs Friday at 1:37am on Channel 5) I was told that my whole [...]

big ups to the bunnies

Last night: The Roots concert at the Warfield. Great show, by the way.

(walking to the Warfield, three or four blocks away from our car.)

Homeless guy #1: Ey man, you got any extra tickets?
Us: Nah. (walks on)
Homeless guy #2: You got some tickets?
Us: Nah. (walks on)
Big Mike: [...]

“How I Met My Man” or “Why 1989 Sucks”

“So self,” you ask yourself. “I wonder how Ernie met his DJ guy that he’s exclusively dating right now.” And I would say something like, “it’s a really interesting story, but to make a long story short, we met on the Internet.”
To which you would say, “uhm, you guys met on the [...]

Joe Millionaire

I’ve only seen the first episode and the last 15 minutes of the final episode of Joe Millionaire, but I’ll give you the low-down of the episode and the “surprise twist,” in case you missed it:

Zora, the girl that Evan picked: So, you just told me that you’re a construction working who gets paid [...]

Pouring Myself A Tall, Cool Glass of Hateraide

And not to be a big haterator in this dancerie, but the webpage for last night’s said event could really use… uhm… some work. Warning: Not pornographic, but not work-safe, either. Not like you’d really get turned on by soft-core thumbnail images in the improper aspect ratio, anyway.†
For those of you that [...]

Obvious Songs to Play At Gay Hip-Hop Joints

“No More Drama” by Mary J. Blige: You would think this one would be obvious, right?

Club Queen: (walking up to the DJ Booth) I know you’re gonna play No More Drama.
DJ: Sorry, I forgot to bring it.
CQ: Oh, HELL naw! What kind of gay DJ doesn’t bring No More [...]

Black Friday No More

So yeah, this will be my first Valentines day not being single. Ever.
As someone who had previously been single for seven years until a couple of months ago, I had adopted a strict Anti-Valentines Day philosphy. Two years ago, Min Jung and I declared it Black Wednesday and we walked around porno shops [...]

KRON4 Morning News anchor: “We have just received breaking news that the National Security Level has been raised from Yellow to Orange. We have a security expert here with us. Security Expert, can you tell us the difference between a Yellow Alert and an Orange Alert?”

Webgame Casting: Let’s Reduce Ourselves to Slanderous Labels!

If I haven’t been posting much, it’s because I’m currently in the process of looking over PuppetMaster 2 applications. One of the things I’ve realized about casting the many web games I’ve created has been how I have a tendency to choose archetypes. I mean, if reality television can do it, why can’t [...]
