Let’s talk about Mondays. Everyone is bound by law to hate Monday because it’s the first day of class and work, and even though we are taught by people wiser than us that we should embrace learning and work passionately, we hate doing both.
To this day, I’m still not entirely sure how I ended up as the senior music supervisor of the popular television show Glee. I’m a comedy writer whose grasp of music goes as far as singing “Sexy and I Know It” to myself in the shower every morning before breaking down and weeping; nothing in my skill-set made me ideal for the position. Somehow, though, FOX decided to give me the job, probably because the other applicants kept going… let’s call it “missing.”
Congratulations, America! We have already successfully embroiled the White House in controversy before President Barack Obama has even had enough time to properly start his second term.
Let’s face it: There’s nothing that can be done to the Star Wars franchise that George Lucas didn’t do himself.
North Korea announced Thursday its plans for a third nuclear test as a result of U.N. comments that the country’s last missile launch was banned activity.
There’s this girl I know who drives to Columbus every weekend to see her boyfriend. Funny, you go to college with the expectation that weekends will become your time to live the memories you’ll be thinking of in the future. The people you meet, the parties you’ll go to — all part of the giant repertoire of things you’re looking for while venturing from home.
The debt clock should have one of those seizure warning thingies that are shown at the beginning of video games. There are so many flashy numbers with so many important things to say. I’m sure that, somewhere out there, a Nobel-worthy economist sees the next global market crisis through the gazillion changing digits.
Smelling the fresh Folgers, tying on your favorite crankbait, loading up the gear and heading to the lake, headlights aglow — mornings preluding a fishing trip on the outside might look ever so shallow, but to the fisherman, there is intrinsic nature to the routine.
Today, we are going to talk about a beer that is quintessentially Athens. Not only is it brewed at everyone’s favorite Midwestern brewpub, Jackie O’s, but it is their No. 1 beer. On a busy night, Jackie O’s can and will sell literally kegs of this stuff. On a great night, they sometimes run out.
Let me tell you something about people and relationships.
Nerds like me know that Razer, a popular video game accessory company, does not mess around. If you aren’t familiar, just know that it is a powerhouse and its products are gorgeous pieces of technology. At the recent Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, it unveiled its newest project: the Razer Edge gaming tablet. It gained attention from gamers everywhere and swept up the Best of CES Award (I would give it an award too, but I’m not quite as powerful).
Folks, I know this is a humor column, but I want to take this time to talk to you about a serious subject. You’re all aware of the tragedy that happened during winter break: the senseless, horrific murder of 27 innocent people, including 20 children, in Newtown, Conn. Some humorists believe that it’s never too soon to joke about any subject, but I believe that if anything in this world is untouchable, the mass murder of schoolchildren has got to be it. There’s nothing funny about what happened in Sandy Hook, and I’m not going to pretend otherwise.
A few months ago, I was watching the local news in my hometown of Cincinnati when I saw an advertisement for a news special. The report focused on a supposed drug epidemic that was particularly affecting the Kentucky suburbs: heroin.
There’s some presumably dead wise person who said we learn from our mistakes. Usually this is true, because I’m pretty sure none of Taylor Swift’s exes have been her ex more than once. However, there are a few of us that contradict that adage, and I am one of them.
Apple pie and baseball are just a couple things that people call “uniquely American.”
The ending of the 2012 season was bittersweet for National Hockey League fans throughout the country. At that time, fans waited in excitement for the playoffs, yet they also worried as the NHL’s labor dispute was not far behind. The dispute officially began Sept. 15 at 11:59 p.m. EDT, marking the second lockout in the last eight years.
American people are frankly tired of the government disappointing them — especially when it’s an issue regarding their safety.
Former BedPost writer bids adieu to faithful readers for bigger plans...
Since this is a column about beer, we decided the best thing would be to skip reviewing a beer on the first week and instead talk about that wonderful beverage that humans have been brewing for thousands of years.
