I hate that I am only 56.4% addicted. I thought I knew my shit.
"Sorry, We're Booked, White House Tells Obamas" →
The Obamas asked The Bush Administration if they could move into the White House guest house that’s located across the street from the White House (that’s where presidents-elect generally stay before inauguration) a little earlier than usual so Malia and Sasha could start school on time.
Answer: “No.”

Just look at Irish and Scottish teams: Bray Wanderers, St. Patrick’s Athletic , TWO teams named “Rovers”!, Hearts
And then there are US teams like the Oklahoma City Thunder
Don’t forget about the London Silly Nannies!
Totally agree that foreign sports clubs have better names. One of my favorites is Colo-Colo, the Chilean soccer club named after the famed...
The AV Club's Top 30 Albums of 2008 →
Flip #1 with #5 and you’ve got a pretty good list. #4 should go down to the 30-20 range. I’m intrigued by #8 ranking so high.

How do you explain your strong connection with the gay community? I’m like a gay man trapped in a woman’s body, and that’s exactly why the gays and I get along so well. We have the same attitude, which is “fuck everybody and let’s say exactly what we think.”
I am so not gay. My motto is “Have intercourse with very few people and avoid confrontation at all costs.”

I wouldn’t necessarily call it a “best of” list. Especially since I bought a lot less new music this year than I usually do. Partly because two of my favorite local record stores closed down…Partly because of the depression (Wall St. and the Main St. kind).
So I’m sure there are noticable gaps in my exposure to the best that 2008 had to offer, and I have yet to fill them in. But these...

What Would You Name Your Imaginary Band?
Last week, The Onion AV Club asked their staff what they would name their band if they were actually in one. Overall, I think their answers were poor and uninspired (“Pinwheeling Varmint Heads”?). But here are some of their best band name ideas:
The Judith Light
Surprise! You’re an Orphan
Tae Kwon Do Sleepover
Mr. Travolta’s Hair
Jefferson Slaveship
My favorite is...

I want to know the evolutionary history behind the balding gene. There’s no real benefit to it. Was it a mechanism for mating back in the caveman era? I’d like to think that men with rugs on their backs have ancestors who were kicked out of the cave by their wife and had to sleep in the cold, so they gained a measure of warmth as they lost the fight on who was supposed to clean the...

Chuck Klosterman Reviews Chinese Democracy
Apart from being one the most brilliant pieces of music writing I’ve read in a while, there’s something Klosterman wrote that really grabbed my attention.
I really enjoyed Klosterman’s review of Chinese Democracy too. But to be honest, his theory on the album being dead was the one part of his review I took issue with. I love albums...

There is a girl in the waiting room from high school. She was slutty, like SLUTTY slutty. She’s getting the gardasil shot. I mean, good for her and all for taking preventative measures, but the mean part of me is like, “Oh honey. You might be a little late.”
HIPAA violation? :)
