The Biggest Loser – Filling the Morbidly Obese Person Shaped Hole in Your Life.

Goodbye, Shay and Daniel. 
I don’t know what’s worse: being the only contestant to appear on TBL for two seasons, only to get knocked off because you couldn’t lose any weight, or being an orphan who’s weighed more than 300 lbs for the better (sort of?) half of your life, only to be kicked off of [...]

I Hate Facebook.

“Initially Zuckerberg asked a small group of people to sign up to Facebook. At a certain point he told us to start inviting friends, and that is what we did on the first and second day which the site went up on the Web. We could only invite students enrolled at Harvard. In fact, if [...]

There’s nothing funny in the news.

…and hasn’t been for some time.  So I haven’t had much to write about.
Since this blog’s hiatus, the dollar has bottomed out, Afghanistan has gotten worse, Obama has won the Nobel Peace Prize (no really, when you consider the ramifications, that’s not funny either), health care has continued its evasion of common sense, and Congress [...]

A Quick One Before I Go…

Andy Richter tore up Celebrity Jeopardy last night, and absolutely wiped the floors with CNN’s Wolf Blitzer’s beard.  Awesome.  Take a look.

Have a good weekend.  See ya.

It’s Not Like I Have Type II Diabetes – The Biggest Loser Returns

It feels like it’s been an eternity since NBC rolled out (literally) their last season of The Biggest Loser.  Like an old, sweaty, dehydrated friend, The Biggest Loser is back, now stuffed with even more exploitation of contestants’ grief, shame, and sorrow.  Last night’s debut was loaded with stories of loss and struggle, and the [...]

Me vs. Everyone: Air Travel

I realize it may get boring (as the girlfriend pointed out several times yesterday), but I do take a pretty consistent ‘army of one’ stance when it comes to things we’ve accepted as status quo in society.  I don’t particulary think convenience is an excuse for things being the way they are, and my God, [...]

Obligatory Biggest Loser Post

As Bess noted last night, it’s not as fun to watch anymore.  The show has been going now for 16 weeks, and previous to that, audiences endured a whole other 18 weeks of the previous season.  That’s a lot of fat people to put up with.  I get on an elevator, and some chubbasaurus gets [...]

Lawrence “Dallas” DuBose 4/28/88-4/13/09

1 Thessalonians 5:2 says, “…for you yourselves know very well that the Day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.”
It refers to Judgment Day.  But I’ve always interpreted “the Day of the Lord” as any sort of divine reckoning.  God acts swiftly and mysteriously, and almost never quite so much as [...]
