Sorry for the delay in getting this post out there, but real life actually happened yesterday and I didn’t have time to post the winner. Â But don’t you worry, because there totally is one and I’m not just making this up as I go along or anything.
Anyhow, in the end it came down to two folks who submitted multiple entries. Here are my two favorite ones, and I just couldn’t decide between them.
Travis‘ comment put Lonely Island in my head all day, which is awesome. Â Marnie’s comment made me laugh and mental ewwww at the same time, which is equally More >
the monster rides again
Jan 25th
For those eagle-eyed readers who come to my page instead of just reading my words of wit in Reader (yeah I’m guilty of that too), you may have noticed I’ve added another page and another box to my sidebar regarding the Tour de Cure. Â This is a bike ride that raises money for the American Diabetes Association, and is held across the country.
Everyone knows at least one person who has diabetes, and odds are they are able to live a normal and successful life while dealing with it. Â It’s because of research and work done that this condition is able to More >

It’s now after Labor Day, and you’re not supposed to wear white anymore, so I gave the ol’ webpage a new look.
Unfortunately, I know one of my shortcomings is any sort of artistic design, and my sense of style is….nonexistent….I need your commentary on if you approve or not.
One of the reasons I got married is because now I have someone in my life who can make this kind of decision for me, but she’s much better at paint and fabric than at html and xml.
And now, for no reason at all, are the best wallpaper backgrounds that we’ve seen More >

The polling places are closed and the results are in. It was close but the results are final and binding, because those are the rules I just made up. Unless my team starts sucking, and I feel that the mojo is off, and a team name change is in order. Maybe I’ll even move the team to Detroit; I hear they haven’t had an NFL team there for a couple years.
“FRAGILE PORCELAIN MICE†is now my team, and you’ll be happy to know that they won their first game without even being named. Now I have an equally important task: More >

Alright ladies and gentlemen, the nominees are in and it’s time to pick. I received a bunch of suggestions through email, and some through other sources, then they went through a rigorous screening process (not really, that’s a lie) to appear before you today. You can vote once per day, and voting will be closed on Tuesday Morning.

On Sunday, my old college chums and I will engage in our annual ritual of our fantasy football draft. For anyone who has not been involved in one of these, the atmosphere consists of drinking, making fun of your friends in the same old way, eating pizza, and coming up with new ways to make fun of your friends.
One of the most important aspects of fantasy football is your team name. This is your chance to prove how clever you are and possibly stick it to one of your friends at the same time.

creepy in a good way
Aug 31st
ladytruth from the land of happily AFTER ever is giving out more awards, and this one comes with a writing assignment. The downside is that it has the creepiest picture ever.
Yes, that is Jackson (I’m still not sure if its a Mrs. or a Mr.) wearing a white glove, presumably because he checks for dust. With the caption, this is the first ever LOLJackson I’ve seen (“Ize eating your propofol, nom nomâ€).
**UPDATE**
It has been brought to my attention that I’m a dumbass and used the wrong picture for this. However, for all of you folks listed below, please use the correct one. More >

Jun 19th
Back in the spring of ’01, my college roommate and I decided to do a spring break. This was a fairly last minute decision, which resulted in minimal planning, and thereby leading to the following story.
We packed up his 2-door manual transmission Chevy Cavalier, added a cooler full of beer that filled up the trunk, and four guys with our luggage in the passenger area. We were going there for a full week, and all any of us brought was 2-3 tshirts, sandals, shorts, and a swimsuit. On short notice, we were able to book a hotel room at The More >
