I do realize there’s still over 2 months before Halloween, but to be honest, I find more pressure when it comes to Halloween now, than was I was growing up.
When you’re younger, pretty much you dress as a hobo, shaving cream the neighborhood, and just act stupidly.
Now, especially being in L.A. with parties and parades [...]

Have you heard this story? There are plans to build an Islamic mosque on ground zero of where the 9-11 attacks took place. Well, the mosque would actually be built a couple of blocks from ground zero, but what’s the difference, right?
This topic has been the cause of some outrage (mostly from conservatives, but even [...]

I was talking to a friend over the weekend, who told me a story of one of his high school friends, and how that person was convicted of DUI/DWI.
This dude ended up in prison, and my buddy passed along some interesting anecdotes about life in prison. Many of this is obvious, or common knowledge, but [...]

Hey, I support the locals, and it would be awesome if the United States of America shocked the world and won the whole thing.
Sure the rest of the globe would be upset and angered, but hopefully not too much so, and they’d all get over it…

Mostly everyone is familiar with this story. Parker and Stone, the creators of South Park, recently had some fun when it came to the question of whether or not they should depict the Muslim Prophet Mohammad in an episode. To me, it’s pretty irrelevant how they even portrayed him. (Mohammad was in a bear costume [...]

Although football and basketball are probably more popular here in the United States, baseball is still considered to be the American Pastime.
I can’t even begin to tell you how many baseball terms have been used as part of our general sexual lingo.
(getting to 1st base, 2nd base, 3rd base, hitting a homerun….being a “pitcher” or [...]

If you’ve never seen Dave Chappelle’s stand-up comedy routine, he’s got a funny bit all about cartoons. He examines his favorite childhood cartoons from his now adult point of view.
One of the conclusions that Mr. Chappelle came to is that Pepe Le Pew is basically a womanizing rapist.
Not only does Pepe force himself upon females, [...]

Since late August I’ve been on a bit of a health and fitness kick. Honestly, it’s more than a “kick” at this point. It’s my fucking lifestyle.
Sure my diet isn’t perfect, and I don’t work out 3 hours every day, but I think if I stick pretty close to what I’ve been doing, and remain [...]

Wow. All within one day……
First I’m picking up pizza at this place in Van Nuys, CA. I look up at the menu in the place, and realize they don’t offer baked ziti. I ask the employee there, “Do you guys make baked ziti?” He looks at me as if I’m speaking a different language. “What’s [...]

Good friend Lance told me the following story the other night:
He was pulling into a parking lot somewhere here in Los Angeles, when a group of Mexican men started waving at him. Being polite, he waved back. Then all of a sudden all these guys started sprinting toward his Toyota pick-up truck. Once they got [...]
