I feel that way about the word “solemnly.” That m-n-l consonant combo just ain’t right. It’s downright unnatural.
The feeling is probably mutual.

A Message From the Corn Lobby
Sweeten things with corn!
Fill your gas tank with corn!
Building a house? Why not build it out of corn?
Has anyone else seen that commercial for corn...
This woman’s pushes this corn-syrup-sweetened popsicle at this guy and says, “Go on, eat it, it’s good for you!” And the guy’s like, “I dunno, corn syrup? Isn’t that poisonous?” And she’s like, “No way! It cures cancer!”

Just trying to “reach across the aisle” and find some common ground, in the spirit of our new prez.
FYI, Part 2
I also founded The Journal of the Midwestern Philanthropist, but I gave it away to a community of impoverished sharecroppers.
They tried to offer me withered potatoes and scraps of burlap in exchange, but I refused to accept them.
FYI
I founded the Pathalogical Liars’ Quarterly. I sold it for 15 trillion dollars.

I get so sick of hearing people describe pilots as ”overpaid” or “glorified bus drivers.” I wonder how many of those people fished out of the Hudson share that opinion right now?
You’ve heard someone call a pilot a “glorified bus driver”?! In what universe is it possible to even form that mind-bogglingly imbecilic a thought, much less utter it?
In a...

I really didn’t mean that to sound whiny—I was just amazed at how little time it took for me to be “over” something as huge as a plane crash. I don’t want to criticize anybody for posting anything on their own blog—your space, your call. More an observation of the Tumblr effect than anything else.
This seems like a good time to plug Neil Postman’s...

Dude, when I am already holding the door for you, do not wave me inside. Just walk through it like the person before you did. It is too cold for us to fight over who is nicer.
You should just say: “I’m from North Dakota. I win!”
What is a "TYSOL"?
No, no, put down that copy of Dianetics! You won’t find the answer there. You’ll find it at tonight’s Top Chef Live Blog on Gawker.
You may have a beautiful TYSOL within you that’s just waiting to emerge. Why not find out?
I'm ready for 2012.
Hell, if Al Franken can do it …

I think you’re really funny and talented.
And pretty too. I thought you were pretty even before you lost all that weight.

PS - WHERE DID YOUR TARKIN GO?
At some point following the Ginger Ale Margaritas, I became nervous that every time people looked at my avatar, they thought of a seventy-year-old man. I’m young! My Wii Fit age is 26!
Ok, you’re not old. But would you destroy an entire planet if Nick Denton ordered you to?

Is Young Manhattanite trying to get people to unfollow them?*
* This is a serious question, to be answered seriously.
Whatever they’re trying to do, I think YM just became the most-regretted thing to be intalled in a dashboard since the eight-track tape player.

Don’t listen to your parents. Don’t listen to your guidance counselor.
You know you want to. You won’t get hooked, honest!

A New Year, A New Commenter Live Blog ...
… of Top Chef starts tonight on Gawker. Post goes up at 9 Eastern. Show starts at 10.
And yes, I know Real World Brooklyn premieres at the same time. But (a) that show sucks and (b) it will be rebroadcast 13 times on MTV this week (for you luddites who don’t have Tivo, like me). Here’s a complete list of those rebroadcasts:...
