Hawk and Animal
When making my predictions for the NBA playoffs, I talked about how I didn’t really hate the Celtics and it would be kind of nice to see them win their 17th NBA championship this season against the Lakers. And you know what, all of that is true. But screw it. Fuck Boston, go Hawks! http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/dailydime?page=dime-080429

Fat Kids
Couch-potato culture may cut our lives short
I may go to hell when I die, and child obesity shouldn’t be mocked, but I think this article was the funniest thing I’ve ever read online. It’s like The Onion, only it’s actually a serious article about a serious problem that deserves a lot of awareness and attention. We should do whatever we can to make sure kids, and adults,...

The Golden Age of Wasting Time
With the launch of the landmark site, Hulu.com, where you can watch episodes from over 400 different shows, and southparkstudios.com, where you can watch every episode from the last 12 seasons of South Park, it’s safe to say that we have officially entered the Golden Age of Wasting Time. It’s amazing that anyone gets anything done, at school or at work. If George W. Bush or Isiah...
Hockey
The NHL playoffs is starting, and the only reason I know this is because I just saw a preview for it on Deadspin.com. I honestly haven’t given a shit about hockey in years. Like most fans, I watched a little bit of the snow game on New Year’s Day and it seemed cool, although I probably would’ve appreciated it more if I had HD. I’m a Devils fan, sort of. I have on tape...
ONE SHINING MOMENT
ROCK. CHALK. JAYHAWK!!!!!
When I was a kid, whenever I was losing late in the 4th quarter in NBA Live ‘95,I would take control over the opposing team and make sure that they missed the free throws whenever I fouled them. Then I would score as quickly as possibly, then commit another foul. And I would repeat the process of fouling until I took the lead and won the game. I probably outscored the computer on an...
Wave of Mutilation
My roommate, Manny, got Rock Band for his birthday, and I am not exaggerating when I say that it is a life changing experience. I’m not good at guitar or drums, because I am not a musician. However, I am a fantastic singer, and I know a lot of songs, so I am the lead singer of the band. I feel like Rock Band is an accurate representation of what it is like to be in a successful band. You...
