I’m always tickled by non-white people with English accents. I get giddy and have to suppress the urge to ask them to repeat what they just said. A part of me wants to believe they’re putting on the accent and can break out of it at anytime. ME:Look this Asian guy can...

Dwayne’s the name and taking long flights are my game. Nothing like getting in a movie or two, listening to Adele, Vampire Weekend, Kings of Leon, and watching a documentary on the plight of the African bee while you nosh on your in-flight vittles. Another staple of...

I recently went to see the movie Salt. The 3 dollar movie theater by my place is a real deal. The hot dogs are $1. If you can wait a month or two after a movie is released to see it, the $3 movie can be a very enjoyable MST (Money Saving Technique.) And get this, the...

I love rooting against the team of the guy who paints his face. Very few things bring me as much joy as a despondent painted face. It’s the proper conclusion to a bad idea. Sometimes the painted guy’s team wins which only fuels his inner frat boy. Because...
