Twitter, Breakfast, and the Crumbling of Society
Walking back from Jersey City the other night, a sign posted in the Burger King window caught my eye. I snapped a photo and posted it on Instagram and Facebook with the caption “America: We Give Up!” People “liked” it, we made some jokes, and life carried on. Or… did it? You see, last […]
Harry Potter Fan Fiction: Installment 1
It was the day after leaving Hogwarts and Harry had to take a deep breath. Whew! The things he had seen. The people he’d met. (And not all of them people, mind you!) He’d had it quite up to here with the “epic battle between the forces of good and evil,” thank you very much, […]

…shut the F up and see why Jack Silbert calls your free public library the “Netflix for books.”
New Year’s Resolutions 2014
1. Stop thinking about tomorrow. 2. Take more selfies of other people. 3. Live every day like I’ll be dead in three days. 5. It’s so important to be a good listener.

Predicting John Sterling’s Home-Run Call for Carlos Beltran
It was a rough day for our man Sterling. He lost two (three?) of his classic calls: “Robbie Cano! Don’t ya know?” and the Grandyman (a.k.a. “Something sort of Grandish!”).
