Use this: because right now, your bike thinks it can just go wherever it wants, and that’s no good because you gotta be the alpha! Don’t use this: on your opponents bike right before the race starts. That’s cheating! If this were a sports broadcaster, it would say: something that no one could hear, because […]

Use this: because it’s so easy for your girlfriend NOT to see the cool thing you just did in Mario’s Missing when it’s on a TV. But when it takes up a whole wall? Now we’re talking! Don’t use this: to find gold in the hills. What you’re looking for there is a prospector, not […]

To be fair, this Shredz 8-Sheet Cross-Cut Paper Shredder wasn’t really designed with that purpose in mind. So if you happen to work in a top secret facility that has been gathering classified information for more than a decade, you should probably have a better action plan should you be unexpectedly infiltrated and need to […]

Welcome to Book Rampage. I’m your host, Jacques Lloyd-Snootae. Today we’re skipping our regularly scheduled dissection of The Crying Of Lot 49 to look at a small series that has changed everything I know about reading- and I promise you, that’s quite a great deal. The series protagonist? A sweet young elephant named Humphrey. They […]

At first, life with a fireball seems like it would be awesome. Think of all the problems a fireball could solve! That guy talking on his cell phone on the bus? I bet he’d shut up when faced with a fireball. Your neighbors who always leave their laundry in the laundry room for a week? […]

“Hey Mowgli! Mowgli! Check out what they had at the store.” What? “It’s Raised By Wolves wine, and I’m telling you–“ Wait, no, let me guess. Because I was raised by wolves, I’m going to love it. No, not only am I going to love it; I was DESTINED to have it. “Actually–“ Tim, here’s […]

The Robber’s Cave Experiment, held in 1961 at a boy’s summer camp, was a seminal (if controversial) psychological experiment on the nature of human conflict.

How many times does the professor need to tell you? Audio recordings are NOT accepted! On this product’s car, there is a bumper sticker that reads: “I Brake 4 […]

What is wickedness, anyway? Or, more importantly, who decides what is wicked and what isn’t? You? Woot? Sierra Designs? Who presumes to sit in judgment of his fellow men and/or outerwear? If it’s wicked to provide lightweight, waterproof trail comfort in spring, summer, and fall… if it’s evil to not interfere with backpack straps… if […]
