Hollyboob

In case you missed this, the HOLLYWOOD sign was briefly transformed into the HOLLYBOOB sign. I love it. I am, however, also reminded of the fraud I perpetrated as an elementary school student—when I lied about knowing what the word “boob” meant. This, I recall vividly. A bunch of kids

There’s no such thing as bad publicity

You live in Whitehall, Ohio. Your house needs to be painted. Only you’re tired of boring paint jobs—one stroke after another after another. Blah, blah, blah. You’ve been through that all before. The painter shows up, lays down some plastic, fills the paint trays and gets to work. So. Fucking.

My favorite concert experience

On June 28, 1997, Tommy Shaw left me tickets to attend that night’s Styx/Pat Benatar concert at Radio City Music Hall, with backstage passes for after the gig. My friend Robyn Furman and I attended the show. We skipped backstage. There was, after all, a fight I wanted to watch.

Confessions of a Jewish space laser operator

Ted Cruz loves the popular girl

Back when I was a high school junior, I wrote an article for the Mahopac High School student newspaper about cheerleading. My controversial take—cheerleading is an activity, not a sport—did not sit well with the sport activity’s participants. On the day The Chieftain came out, I was sitting in the

My favorite lawsuit

In case you missed this, a recent lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California claims that Subway has been lying, and there’s no tuna in its tuna. Gasp. This is supposed to be a scandal. It’s not. The scandal would, in fact, involve Subway’s tuna

Pay $2,000. Be a Writer.

My friend Chuck Creekmur posted this on Facebook recently, and like the great Chuck, my first (second, third, fourth, and fifth) instinct was to gag … My sixth instinct was to think, “Nah, this can’t be true.” My seventh instinct was to do the Google Yup, it’s true. Rolling Stone,
