Has it been a year since the last beta of The Game?

Oh my, it's been more than a year.

Well, it's time for this year's, and I'm pretty sure this is the year I get my ass kicked. Wish me luck! I'll see you in 48 hours.

I consider most facets of a bachelor party to be optional. You don't need strippers or road trips or abductions. One thing I'm unwilling to compromise on is alcohol. Alcohol has to flow freely. I implemented this idea to great effect at Colin's bachelor party. Unfortunately it happened that the bachelor party was the night before the wedding, which ( Read more... )

I saw Star Trek today.

It was good, but I don't feel great.

That's it for now. Same old story otherwise.

Hoo boy.

Got good and drunk for the first time in several weeks.

Why the hell don't I do this more often?

Colin's bachelor party. We went to Coyote Ugly. I bought Colin...four shots of Jaegermeister? Was it five? I don't remember. I owe Dan ~$100. Something like that. This is where I would tell you what Dan's Coyote Ugly name is but the Coyote ( Read more... )

I seem like a rational guy to most people, so sometimes they wonder why I can be skeptical of global warming after all we've heard about how terrible it's going to be. I mention to those people that I was shown videos in elementary school that threatened that acid rain was becoming such a huge global problem that it was causing our very umbrellas ( Read more... )

Hilariously, Tony deleted his original comment agreeing with me when linking to Jake DeSantis' letter in the New York Times. It's a very nice letter. Here's Zack Parsons' response on SomethingAwful, a comedy website, in which he calls for a mob to burn wall street to the ground and murder everyone responsible. When you read that letter in the New ( Read more... )

People are commenting on this thing left and right. For those who may not be familiar with the situation, the government recently provided AIG with an additional 30 billion dollars to keep the 120 billion they'd already been awarded company. As part of a contract that was drawn up well in advance of the economic crisis, AIG awarded $165 million in ( Read more... )

I wondered on Twitter a while ago about how much was too much to spend on a keyboard (here referring, of course, to the kind of keyboard you type on. This had come from a discussion on a distribution list that day at work where a guy was talking about how he would never understand the IBM keyboard cult, meaning people who prefer the olde-tymey ( Read more... )

A guy at work today linked us to Broken Picture Telephone, and I called him a monster. I accidentally spent much of the day giggling maniacally at some stupid website. The idea is so simple I should have thought of it myself, yet so endlessly hilarious that even if I spend all night participating in games and reading through the archives, I doubt I ( Read more... )

My dad called tonight. Apparently he does that all the time and I never pick up, which is news to me, but might be explained by the shitty reception in my place and also the tendency of my phone to run out of batteries. I don't know why I'm so terrible at owning a phone ( Read more... )
