Your Chance to Feel SuperiorAt least you don't play professional tiddlywinks. If you do, and you're male, please, for God's sake, turn in your man card. (via NRO's Corner, where Mr. Miller also points out that, yes, Virginia, there is a professional tiddlywinks association.) Excuse me, I need to go and kill some Nazis in Call of Duty 2 to make up for reading the article. posted by Harry Callahan at 10:39 AM

Ah yes... There is nothing quite like firin' up the ol' Playstation and killing Nazis to pass the time... heh. So satisfying... Posted by: kyer on January 21, 2006 12:06 PM
I have not gotten around to buying COD2 yet. Maybe when Ace ponies up the dough for this guest blogger gig *cough* I will get it. Untill then, I am going to be firing up Game Spy and playing some good old COD1 Posted by: WunderKraut on January 21, 2006 12:13 PM
Phrases such as: "It's a good potting squidger," "If you're on this, you boondock" and "The blue's over the yellow -- I could consider double-booning" filled the air. And I thought I WAS a geek! Actually, the best line in the article is: most historians think modern tiddlywinks was developed in 1955 by a group of Cambridge undergraduates. It is not known whether alcohol was involved. Not known? It HAD to be involved! Come on. I can so totally see a bunch of drunken frat boys sitting around, all the house whores have already left and they are only a few drinks away from pledge on pledge action when one says, "I've got an idea! Let's play tiddlywinks!" The other brothers went along only because they thought he said "tittiewinks". The rest is history. Posted by: WunderKraut on January 21, 2006 12:32 PM
Yes, Vagina, there is a professional tiddlywinks association Posted by: Biff Boff on January 21, 2006 01:08 PM

Ah, but what is really worse? Playing tiddlywinks for money, or paying money to watch people playing tiddlywinks? What's next? Fantasy Tiddlywinks Leagues? Posted by: Simon Oliver Lockwood on January 21, 2006 04:33 PM

Happy New Year, everyone. (It's been a while). A high-school teacher of mine was (briefly) national tiddlywinks champion. Posted by: Knemon on January 22, 2006 11:46 PM
Good to see you again, Knemon. The gay threads have not been the same (read: really gay) without you. Posted by: Bart on January 22, 2006 11:51 PM

Breaking news: Dolly Parton had a real pair of 38s
Or at least one. She carried it everywhere for protection. This joke brought to you by Benny Hill. And speaking of the British: The Buckingham Palace guard tributed her yesterday
Dolly Parton is badgered into saying something negative about Trump's bus-board locker-room talk, but refuses to bow to the media pressure, telling the twink agitator she learned long ago to "keep your damned mouth shut"
What I'm appreciating is that while her surface is soft and sweet, she's got some actual steel a centimeter underneath.
1977 interview shows that Barbara Walters has always been a seaward and Dolly Parton always had "country class"
Walters actually asks Dolly Parton if she knows that people think she's a joke. This because Walters can't get over the fact that a show-woman has 1, big breasts, and 2, dresses a bit outrageously because, get this, she's an entertainer. A stage performer. You know, someone people pay money to see live and expect them to put on a show. She never would attack Liberace for wearing glitter-tuxedos. But she's mad that Dolly Parton makes Barbara Walters look bad through association (by being a woman). Babs, you wish people associated the two of you. Believe me, we can tell the difference.

"All women who are overweight or obese will have to wear burka. 10,000 steps per day, low carb."
Months ago, I reported that the final Zodiac cypher had been cracked and the name of the killer revealed. And the name of the killer turned out to be someone suspected in the unsolved Black Dahlia murder. The general tone of my mention of this was "serious you guys, this is real."
Well, it's not real. It's total bullshit. Sorry about that. I did two things: 1, I bought into something, a conspiracy theory really, because it was new and exciting. And 2, I allowed a self-declared "expert" to snow me over with his "expert" claims about solving ciphers, an alleged expertise I could not challenge because I know practically nothing about codebreaking. I remember being similarly swindled by self-declared "experts" babbling about "chromatic aberrations." (Although I didn't really buy into that, but I found it "interesting" and I wasn't strongly skeptical about it. Hey they said they're "experts," they must know that they're talking about, right?) I screwed up. It won't be the last time, I'm sure. Recent Comments
