Lately I’ve been watching a lot of Roseanne reruns on Oxygen. I remember watching the show way back when I was a kid and it was ABC’s big hit for all those years, but only now that I’m older and there’s some learnin’ in my head do I realize what a truly fantastic show it [...]


Gentlemen, let us use my encounter with the man at a local 24-hour pharmacy’s checkout counter to help you hone your Game.
If you expect to get a bite, don’t follow the falsely innocuous “You look so familiar — where are you from?” and “So, are you currently involved with anyone?” questions up with any [...]


Bwa ha ha! This is hilarious.
Hilariously SAD.

Built to Spill will be at the Deli tomorrow. I won’t be at the Deli; I’ll be at work.
