Growing Up Nate - Can?t Sleep, Clown Will Eat Me
2008-04-11 20:11:00 Let’s face it, no one really likes clowns. It’s amazing that they’re still around, haunting us, stepping on our feet with their comically over-sized shoes and exceeding the occupancy limits of compact cars in a flagrant disregard for the law. They’re shameless, soulless and, let’s face it, probably the same guys that play Santa in ... More About: Sleep , Growing , Growing Up , Nate

Bands That Fame Forgot - Beulah
2008-04-10 21:24:00 Beulah. It?s not just a small town on the North Dakota prairie anymore. There was once a band called Beulah and almost no one has heard of them and I think that?s just tragic. You have no idea what you missed. Have been missing. Have missed. Whatever. Without going into a long and exhaustive discussion of the ... More About: Music , Bands , Fame , Beulah

From My Cold Dead Hands

Chalk and Awe
2008-04-08 21:14:00 I know I’ve never expressed that much interest in any sport before, with the exclusion of professional wrestling and water polo. But my dad is an enormous Kansas Jayhawks fan, so since he doesn’t have a blog of his own, I choose to write the following in his honor, and it s done in lieu ... More About: Chalk , Memphis
Stop or I?ll mute grab!
2008-04-08 06:57:00 As the Olympic Torch made its way through Paris this morning there was much controversy. Protesters lined the streets, chanting for Tibetan freedom from Chinese oppression. Many attempted to extinguish the eternal flame. Some police officers did, in fact, extinguish it, while other police officers simply practiced their runs for the X-Games. No. Seriously. The police ... More About: Stop , Grab , Mute
Yah Sure, You Betcha?
2008-04-07 20:53:00 This past weekend, while playing pick-up basketball at my gym, I got into a conversation about places of origin. See, the big joke out here in Portland is that everyone is from some place other than Portland. The only thing is, it’s not so much of a joke, because I literally went two years without ...

The Angry White Man: Silent No More!
2008-04-07 18:00:00 I am intimately familiar with the Angry White Man(1), and I have been inspired by Gary Hubbell to lend a voice to this forgotten and silenced voting bloc(2). The Angry White Man is, as Gary so truthily puts it, “almost in fear of losing [his] constitutional rights through political correctness”. This election, we have the historic ...

Kevin Spacey goes for a ?21,? but busts instead
2008-04-06 08:48:00 In a world where poker is shown on ESPN approximately 200 hours a week, Sony Pictures decides to bring us a blackjack movie. With math. And a rocket scientist.

2008-04-04 20:24:00 Are you there, Internet? It’s me. Steven Colbert. The responses I received to my first column here at the Sob Log have been overwhelming.

Battle of the Websites: Obama vs McCain vs Hillary
2008-04-04 20:10:00 Here’s a fun little website comparison from the quasi-accurate Compete.com showing site popularity between the candidates (as of March): Site People Month Year barackobama.com 2,011,456 -32.80% 826.50% hillaryclinton.com 1,049,928 -28.30% 434.20% johnmccain.com 499,951 -37.90% 709.80% What does all of this mean?

Sod Has A Dream
2008-04-04 18:58:00 40 years ago today, Martin Luther King Jr. was shot to death.

Pumpkin Balls
2008-04-04 18:16:00 Ladies and gentlemen, we have a healthcare issue in this country that has received no media attention, and yet so obviously affects a number of our citizens that I would feel negligent not to use this forum and speak up now.

37?! In a Row?
2008-04-03 22:29:00 Barack Obama no longer has a chance to become the next President of the United States. In my book, at least.

Bands That Fame Forgot: Superdrag
2008-04-03 17:11:00 First hitting the music scene in 1996 with their only hit, “Sucked Out,” Superdrag is a band that should have been big, but it just didn’t seem to be in the cards for them.

You?re Welcome, Heterosexuals!

Them (2006)
2008-04-02 03:45:00 Supposedly based on a true story, Them tells the story of a tormented couple living in a rural estate somewhere in Romania.
