All I ask on this most special of days is that you tell me what I have to look forward to in this coming decade. A sign passed to me lo just three nights past: a single ivory eyebrow hair arcing up past the others, stiff and proud.
My prediction: My the end of this decade […]

Thanks to the acumen and generosity of one P. Fibiger, our Wordpress hatches should now be battened against that asshole spammer who was inserting links into our posts. Sorry about that.
In retaliation, I have worked a small hex that will forever trap the spammer in the video to Bonnie Tyler’s “Faster Than the Speed of […]

My kid sister Rachel Fracassa, having just completed a rigorous raw food chef certification after a couple of years of solo training, has just opened her new business, “Lemons in the Kitchen.” I’m super proud of her, even if I have every intention to continue eating cooked meat, at least until the day she can […]

PC Magazine, poor saps, had this to say about our humble little site for men:
Dethroner is the classy men’s magazine of the Web world. With weeks of themed content based around topics like beer, meat, and danger, and features like “Testosterone Television,” a daily guide to the manliest sights on cable TV, this site has […]

Heyo. I’m Travis Hudson and you may have noticed (or not) my name appear below Joel’s over on the sidebar with the fancy pants title of Associate Editor. I’ll be putting on my blogging sombrero and giving Joel a hand with the site.

First, the good news: I am happy and well and life is going just fine. Better than fine, actually. I’m in the spot that I have been aiming at for the last couple of years, even though it didn’t come about quite how I expected. I can’t quite get into the details yet, but within […]

I’m in Florida for a couple of weeks to do some writing, clear my head, and kill animals with spears. I may be posting up here, but I may not be. Consider this my summer break.
One of the things I hope to have sussed out by the time I return is what, exactly, we’re going […]

Working! So posts, already anemic, will be lighter than normal. But I’ll still be posting; you might not know the difference!

Papa John’s is running a Luckiest Day of the Century promotion, to culminate tomorrow, 7/7/7. They’ve given us seven free pizzas (gift cards, actually) to be given out as we fit.
Now on one hand, it’s just a pizza, so I don’t want to make you do a whole bunch of work. On the other hand, […]

My dear arch-nemesis (and sometimes Dethroner contributor) John Brownlee has launched the successor to his recently-axed-but-widely-beloved fringe culture blog Table of Malcontents: Ectomo.com, short for “ectoplasmosis: technically, the viscous progeny of medium ectoplasm and the mind-controlling brain parasite toxoplasmosis, aborted from the belly of an octobee. But we just call it Ectomo, a wonder closet […]
