Somebody clearly hasn’t slept much lately. Luckily it’s our gain, just make sure they aren’t allowed near heavy machinery anytime soon. Advice to a Juice CEO: High fructose? I don’t judge. Maybe that fructose is going through something right now and needs to be high. Maybe it’s prescription. Better than bank robbery fructose, am I […]

The Onion at the Oscars
I haven’t watched an Oscar telecast in decades, but man would I watch the hell out of this. According to eyewitness accounts, Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences President Howard Koch carried a large plastic tub filled with Academy Awards to the center of the stage halfway through the ceremony and wordlessly overturned the […]
Models for Archer Characters
In a million years, I never would have guessed these were based on real people, but they’re identifiable right down to the ears! See the Real Models for the Archer Characters — Vulture.
Macaque Self-Portrait
I imagine I’ve posted this before, but it’s so delightful it warrants a renewal. Visiting a national park in North Sulawesi, Indonesia, award-winning photographer Mr Slater left his camera unattended for a while. It soon attracted the attention of an inquisitive female from a local group of crested black macaque monkeys, known for their intelligence […]

Scrooge Parade
I’m over a month late to this party (note: Only 11 shopping months left ’til Christmas!) but it makes me laugh anew. Police in Kingston, Ont., have charged a man who was allegedly telling children Santa Claus did not exist during the city’s annual Santa Claus parade. Police say a 24-year-old man was arrested Sunday […]
Baby Name Shame
I have to admit, the name Banjo is awesome. That said, I’d get a dog before I ever considered having a baby, so my yelling it at the park will offend far fewer people than the mom of the kid who runs to greet me. The magazine surveyed 13,000 readers and asked them, “If you […]
