Dear Mr. Hamill,
Every day there are countless factual errors in your newspaper. I forgive most every one–it’s surely hard work to meet a deadline day in and day out. Every day there are also a handful of cringeworthy efforts at cleverness. These gratuitous wastes of ink are, with rare exception, less forgivable. [...]

in an Andy Rooney kind of way1 (after reminiscing about Ambiorix Burgos, and pondering Gil Meche’s place in this crazy, mixed up world):
You know who has a lot of friends? John McCain. Have you noticed that? And no, I’m not talking about any of the recent talk. I’m saying that everywhere he goes, he keeps [...]

My wife is an American Idol devotee. So much a devotee that she actually doesn’t even mind that I’m divulging as much to the blogosphere. No shame in that, at least where she sits.
As for me, I merely indulge her. You would too, she’s cute. Which is to say she watches [...]

Primarily because my friends are not a pack of fucking douchebags.

May be interested in this article in the January 31, 2008 issue of New Scientist.
Another amateur site that the pros turn to is the Wordlustitude blog, written by Mark Peters (see “How Wordlustitude feeds my obsession”). He has tracked the use of infixes - words inserted into the middle of other words. Some of the [...]

My first roommate in New York was born and raised here. He was friendly, but we never meshed. While he’s likely googlable, I’ve never had the urge to google him. Things had a rocky start from the get-go when, in his friendly introduction to the City, he proudly touted CD 101.9. [...]

Every night, the last bit of terrestrial Manhattan I see is Grand Central Station, and I do not surface again until I’m looking down onto my home in Brooklyn. It serving as my wormhole, then, I was curious enough to watch the American Experience episode on its construction this week.
It also has to do [...]

Back when Andre the Giant & Sergeant Slaughter roamed the canvas, bouts were scheduled for “one fall” & 3 of 5 wrestlers hailed from “Parts Unknown”. I do, at least. I don’t remember much else, except that if somebody [...]
