Friday’s Topic: Secret of My Success
shutupweirdo:
On this week’s “Shut Up, Weirdo” (2/27), call in and tell us what makes you so good at the thing you do best, whatever that may be: pinball, heart surgery, spreading STDs. Is there some secret strategy that makes you the very best version of you in the area where you do best? Call us and share. I’m expecting a call from you, Bobby Jindal!

Ow! Hot Pipe
Today I came across the strange phrase “piping hot.” I first heard this one when when I was a kid, and it has never made sense to me. What is it about pipes that make something so hot? Are there pipes inside? No. Does it need pipes to vent the steam? If so, too bad, there’s no pipes coming out of it. Did somebody leave it on a hot steam pipe? Not likely. Dictionary says it means...

verenasays:
I’m with my sister and her boyfriend and we’re brainstorming places to go for dinner, but we’re having difficulty since they only place they ever hang out is the Chateau Marmont. (Seriously.) Which, while great, is not what I’m in the mood for. What are some of the fun, cheap, young, all-the-hip-kids-hang-there (kidding, kinda) places where I can get some delicious LA eats?

Ask yourself: If there were no one else in the world, what would you do with your time? Then once you have composed a thoughtful, insightful and concise answer (and not a pathetically oafish or inebriated one that signals just what a stoned loser you are by rambling on ceaselessly, instilling despondency in all who have the misfortune of being within audible range), give Andy and...

Review of The International, Blank Verse Edition
spiers:
Dialogue composed entirely of cliches
And mutilated aphorisms
As if the screenplay was written
By Dan Rather
So disappointed in you,
Clive Owen.
