The intrigue and gripping showcase of wit and cunning continue on I Love Money. “12 Pack” approached Mr. Boston, Destiney, Meagan and the particularly annoying Brandi C. and asked them to throw the next competition; in exchange, he promised, since he was the “paymaster” this episode, to not vote any of them off.

Steven’s Store
So I’m launching a new subsection, kids, in which I bore you with tales of my childhood as opposed to boring you with details of my adult life.
I don’t recall when I first heard about Stevens’ Store (I’m really thinking the name was actually “Stevens’ Store” or “Stephens’ Store,” but according to some yokels [...]

Why Dave and I no longer wish to leave the house
I think I’ve accepted my hatred of Tinto Brass. If I had been reminded that Brass made Salon Kitty, which I found violently annoying, I would have thought twice about going to the Egyptian Saturday night for the supposedly Italian grindhouse festival.

Reality Cheque
Much like the puckish honesty of the “Mad at Daddy” porno series, I very much enjoy the name of the new reality show “I Love Money.” If you’re not familiar, this show dangles 100 grand in front some of the most loserly dregs reality tv has ever seen: alumni from I Love New York, Rock [...]

Fitness magazine’s awesome advice for vegans
Over the weekend, I picked up a copy of Fitness magazine at Von’s to read while I rode my exercise bike (yes, haha, I know) and was surprised to actually see the word “vegan” in it. So I waded through the usual crap about vitamin B-12 but was startled and disgusted at the handy advice [...]

Another really cool old guy has died.
Bruce Conner died in his home in San Francisco. In its obituary for him, Kenneth Baker for the San Francisco Chronicle wrote: “…a San Francisco artist renowned for working fluently across media, died at his home of natural causes on Monday. He was 74. Mr. Conner was one of the last survivors of the Bay [...]

If I could projectile vomit all over this job ad, I would.
I don’t know if you ever peruse job ads like I do, but yelp.com runs the douchiest, most appalling ads you will ever see. They’re just amazing. Here’s what they ran today, peppered with my mockery of it in bold.

Getting pregnant for spite: Yea or Nay?
Oh, I’m kidding…sorta…So our new neighbors moved in downstairs and guess what? She’s three months’ pregnant. A squalling infant right under us — coming soon! These people also plan to build a pen in the front yard for their pitbull. But they seem nice and plan to leave us to our weed hut in the [...]
