"Jehoshaphat and the Bucket" - a story from Jimmy...
Jehoshaphat drank from the bucket. His hands were shaking. What would Broomhilda think if she found him drinking out of her good bucket?
“This is a big moment,” Jehoshaphat said to no one in particular. Jehoshaphat looked down at the Bible at his side. He sought answers - relief, maybe - but the text wouldn’t explain why he was so connected to the bucket.
Little did he...
Tyler Coates: Ash Wednesday →
tylercoates:
I remember how confused I was on Ash Wednesday during my freshman year of college. I grew up in a place where there were no Catholics, so seeing people with what appeared to be dirt smudged on their foreheads was very confusing, but it was frequent enough that morning that I avoided asking…
This, but with me instead of Tyler and with a more different college instead of...
Hi!
Let me axe you a question:
Do you need a French actor?
Not sure whether or not Gerard Depardieu is dead?
You need Jean Reno!
Hi!

Now, I'm no fuel-scientist, but...
We could use this return to too-high gas prices to get our crap together and start using alternative fuels. And all that crap we talk about dependence on foreign oil? We COULD make a stand and stop using the stuff.
But, we won’t.

Friday Night Lights, Season 2: First Impressions
[ACHTUNG! SPOILERS!]
Landry is adorable. And I want him to get with Tyra. I really, really want that.
Julie is learning about herself and that’s great and all, but MAN what a pain in the ass.
I’m worried for Coach’s job. His many enemies all wish him harm.
Tami’s having a rough go. And is holding steady as one of my favorite characters.
Matt’s also going through...
I've got on my meat-smoking pants
That can only mean one thing.
…well, it could literally mean ANYTHING, but to me, it means one thing.
Smokey times ahead.

Hotels.com ditched the claymation
One of the most laborious mediums for storytelling was cost prohibitive and ineffective? So you switched everything to CGI? Welcome to the movie “Flushed Away”. One Netflix rental and you could’ve skipped all this.
Okay, fine! I'LL ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS!
Gimme what you got.
Thing-That's-Your-Fault of the Day
Why did none of you tell me how good “Friday Night Lights” is? Hm? Speak up.
On episode 2 and I’ve already said “Clear eyes, full heart, can’t lose” twenty-six times.
Protesting...
I saw two guys smoking cigarettes outside the strip mall karate dojo on my way home from work. One was holding a gigantic piece of cardboard that said:
BRING IT ON, IRAN!
Second line:
THE US WILL WIN.
I suppose it’s a portent of things to come (maybe?), but why protest in front of the karate school? There’s a lot of traffic at that intersection, but…should you be near...
What Super Bowl XLVI Taught Me
This year’s Super Bowl was never going to be a “big deal” for me. I don’t like the Giants and I don’t like the Patriots, so the game meant very little. The same is true for the half-time entertainment - nobody I really care about was doing anything of import.
But, at 11:00 AM today, I worked with my friends to create something great. We helped each other, we cooked,...

Shaun White? Meh.
I’ve got a perfect score in super-pipe, if you know what I mean.

Viola Davis at the SAG Awards...
…looks like skinny-Oprah from back in the day.
Aaaaaaaaaaand I’m a little too turned on.
