I only have basic cable, so I've been watching the Olympics with a ravenous intensity I usually only reserve for misanthropy and alcohol, but around the time that I was watching Men's Synchronized Diving I had to ask myself what I had come to and went out...and performed strange, homoerotic tandem dives with a friend all night. Quizzo business after the jump.

In celebration of J.K Rowling's birthday, I'm going to spend the entire blog writing fan fiction about Harry Potter and his gang of friends! Maybe Hagrid will come a-lumbering out to greet Hermione and Ron as they run up the stairs of Hogwarts in their fun Gryffindor robes, warning of the possibility that He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named is on the way! Awesome fan fiction after the jump!!11!!

Thank you for being a friend
Traveled down the road and back again
Your heart is true your a pal and a confidant.
And if you threw a party
Invited everyone you ever knew
You would see the biggest gift would be from me
And the card attached would say thank you for being a friend

The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A Death! What's that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you're too young, you get a gold watch, you go to work. You work 40 years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You do drugs, alcohol, you party, you get ready for high school. You go to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last 9 months floating...and you finish off as an orgasm.

We love when people come and eat and drink with us and we love it even more when they enjoy themselves. But if you've got a blog, enjoy our company and food and beer AND you want to write about us, we'll bro-hug like awkward friends. Cereally.

For all you folks who have never worked at a restaurant or don't know common expressions, when you "86" something, it means that it's off the menu, out of stock, gone, no more and out the back door. The Chernobyl nuclear disaster also happened in 1986, so when the tie-breaker question came up at last night's Pub Quiz about the year that the meltdown went down, someone mentioned that it "86'd Chernobyl." I just thought that explaining the joke here might have been funny...Apparently not so much. But the acknowledgment of the bad joke and subsequent creation of a new self-deprecating joke is funny enough. Quizzo action after the jump!!!

May Day can either be a celebration of International Workers’ Day or it can be a cross-quarter day in which we celebrate the beginning of summer. I personally like the idea of a Bacchanalian romp in the woods complete with animal sacrifice, orgies, wine and shanks of meat, so on this May Day, I say we forget about our jobs, retire to Fairmount Park and throw a good old fashioned orgy. Who’s with me!?!

The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them into the impossible.

So Elliot Spitzer's got this $5000 hooker who he brings down from Albany to Washington to do hooker stuff. Then he gets busted and is forced to resign as Governor of New York. And through all of this, we only see the repentant Spitzer and his wife standing side by side, but no image of the trick. Well, Damn. All I have to say is: worth. every. penny.
P.S. I had her myspace link up, but within the time it took to do the excerpt and finish the blog, her account was deleted. Read More »March 5th, 2008

Life, to me, is like a quiet forest pool, one that needs a direct hit from a big rock half-buried in the ground. You pull and pull, but you can't get the rock out of the ground. So you give it a good kick, but lose your balance and going skidding down the hill toward the pool. The out comes a big Hawaiian man who was kissing his wife beside the pool because they thought it was real pretty. He tells you to get out of there, but you start faking like you're talking Hawaiian , and then he gets mad and chases you... - Jack Handey

I just read that John McCain had a close relationship with a young female lobbyist. He says the relationship was professional and I think I believe him. I mean, she isn't that hot and for serially guys, what kind of man in power would risk his political career over an ugly broad?
