Scene: A junior exec from KM Communications is trying to bond with his teenage sons over a “meal” from Wendy’s, since he’s never learned to cook and hasn’t introduced his girlfriend to the boys yet out of fear that they would tell his ex-wife about her.
Dad: Hey! I’ve been put […]
Deus ex Point/Counterpoint
4 Comments Published 1 year, 6 months ago in Observations, World Gone MadThis month’s issue of Wired (to which I have recently (re)subscribed for almost entirely different reasons than I did in the 90s) has a cover story by Gary Wolf called Battle of the New Atheism. The so-called “New Atheism” is, in particular, the brand of atheism espoused by Richard Dawkins whose latest book is called […]

Matt: first song
Matt: ‘South of Heaven”
Jake: Jesus Built My Hot Rod
Matt: “Spirit in the Sky”
Jake: followed by Satan Is My Motor
Matt: “I saw your mommy and your mommy’s dead”
Jake: last song: Sheep Go to Heaven (Goats Go to Hell)
Matt: nice touch
Matt: I think Super Trouper […]
I think if I was the type of performer who needed a made-up name — like, say, a rollergirl, burlesque dancer, rapper, or pro wrestler — I’d want my name to be Felonious Monk.
