Gee, if only…

By thecodepounder | Published January 15, 2010

Hellacious hilarity from The Onion:
LOUISVILLE, KY—At first glance, high school senior Lucas Faber, 18, seems like any ordinary gay teen. He’s a member of his school’s swing choir, enjoys shopping at the mall, and has sex with other males his age. But lately, a growing worry has begun to plague this young gay man. A [...]

In honor of the vernal equinox…

By thecodepounder | Published March 20, 2009

… I’ll link to my favorite equinox song, by comedian Tim Cavanagh.  It is, fittingly, entitled Equinox (and is sung to the tune of Aqualung by Jethro Tull). For my money, equinox-inspired music doesn’t get much better than when Cavanagh sings:
Sitting on a park bench-

Does your child like dinosaurs? Fine. Dinosaurs it’ll have to be. Learn some of those fuckers’ names. Quick tip from me to you: Most of them end in “saurus,” so you can fake your way along pretty good by just adding that to the end of a word you already know.
Yeah, I know this [...]
