I subscribed to Oxford English Dictionary’s Word of the Day email, to expand my vocab and all that. And now I’m amused that I can unsubscribe from their email list by sending them a letter. I’m almost tempted to try it out.

“Dear Oxford English Dictionary, please remove me from your intertubes web list. I have enclosed a self addressed stamped envelope, you can use this to please return my email address to me…”

FEIST Concert Poster by Vahalla Studios

My problem with buying prints is that I like too many of them, I get overwhelmed, and then I end up with nothing. (You know you have issues when you can’t even commit to a poster.)

But my walls are sad and bare, and I need something. I almost bought this one at Renegade this year, but they were cash only and I didn’t feel like heading to the ATM. What do you think…yes?

My mom has a gnome she found in the dollar store and painted to look like the pope. She takes pictures of him drinking wine and wearing funny hats. His name is Benny. Benny the Rome Gnome.

If I have a strange relationship with Catholicism, this is why.

Christ Turns Down 3-Year, Multimillion Dollar Deal To Coach Notre Dame | The Onion

Christ Turns Down 3-Year, Multimillion Dollar Deal To Coach Notre Dame | The Onion:

SOUTH BEND, IN—Jesus Christ, the Son of God, Savior of All Mankind, and current defensive coordinator at Middle Tennessee State, said Monday that He would not accept Notre Dame’s 3-year, $5.6 million offer to coach the Fighting Irish. “I love Notre Dame and respect their football legacy, but no matter what you’ve accomplished before coaching there, once you’re a Golden Domer, the expectations, frankly, are unrealistic,” said Christ, whose family has been involved with the university since its founding.

In the spirit of the day, see ya man. Remember the good times. 05/06 was pretty fun, no?

Listen, my family is rife with Michigan fans, so Notre Dame, all I ask is that you think long and hard about your next move, because I’m going to boycott Christmas if I have to deal with “How many coaches are you paying now, hur hur” jokes again in 3 years. (Stop talking to me about it! I don’t care!) The only saving grace in all this is that Michigan this year? Also terrible. It will cut down on the smug at holiday parties.

Just over an hour until I’m on my way to Holland. No, not this one. This one. (Almost the same. Less legal drugs. More churches.)

I don’t think I’ve been this excited for a Thanksgiving in a while. If this train get caught in freight traffic I’m going to have to cut someone. Cantwaitcantwaitcantwait.

Please design a logo for me. With pie charts. For free.:

When I was about twelve, I read that time slows down when approaching the speed of light so I constructed a time machine by securing my father’s portable generator to the back of my mini-bike with rope and attaching the drive belt to the back wheel. Unfortunately, instead of traveling through time and finding myself in the future, I traveled about fifty metres along the footpath at 200mph before finding myself in a bush. When asked by the nurse filling out the hospital accident report “Cause of accident?” I stated ‘time travel attempt’ but she wrote down ‘stupidity’.

If I did have a working time machine, the first thing I would do is go back four days and tell myself to read the warning on the hair removal cream packaging where it recommends not using on sensitive areas. I would then travel several months back to warn myself against agreeing to do copious amounts of design work for an old man wieding the business plan equivalent of a retarded child poking itself in the eye with a spoon, before finally traveling back to 1982 and explaining to myself the long term photographic repercussions of going to the hairdresser and asking for a haircut exactly like Simon LeBon’s the day before a large family gathering.
