Most of my readership are, unsurprisingly, Americans, so this column should be read – and widely dispersed – by them. Seriously: polling indicates that four-fifths of the United States opposes raising the debt ceiling. In economic terms, this is like four-fifths of the United States wanting, say, New York City to be blown up with […]

Who Inherits The Earth: Ontological Nerdiness And The Doctor (A Guest Post)
Posted by MGK Published in TVOccasional poster Lee “Leeee” Wang sent me this and I thought it was worth a wider audience, so here you go. Many of you Whovians have probably seen this Youtube (which is almost half a year old now) (and for you SYTYCD trainspotters, yes, that’s Paula van Oppen), but with the new season less than […]

So Scott Adams has been busy of late getting a reputation as a jackass, and he feels this is unfair, so naturally he published a long blogpost about how everybody is being unfair to him just because he created a sockpuppet account to go on Metafilter and give himself props: As a general rule, you […]

From yesterday: Last time someone asked you if you were homosexual. While I don’t have issues with any sexual orientation, I am curious. I’m straight; almost embarrassingly straight, in fact. The sexual continuum theory is one I have no beef with, but I know perfectly well that I’m on the very edge: men do absolutely […]

NOTE: This was the first of these, written back for my Livejournal back when I was still on Livejournal. However, it does not appear to have been web-archived, and besides, I might as well rewrite it now. So this is a revamped version of the original article.

I’m still burned out from last night’s debate coverage so it’s time for another one of these: what would people like me to write about?

Danny Sichel messaged me to say: The backstory to Nunsense is that a large group of nuns die of food poisoning. Food poisoning is not a comfortable death. Are we supposed to imagine, when attending this hit off-Broadway comedy, the previous group of nuns screaming in agony as they shit out their intestines? Of course, […]
