The Most Stereotypical NYC Day Ever (In Only Three...
I haven’t been in the City for a week.  I went home for the holidays.  I came back just for today (I’m leaving from my apartment to get to the airport at 5:45 tomorrow morning), expecting to have a quiet day sitting in my apartment continuing to watch SVU.  But I made two excursions outside - I went to get food, and I went to the drugstore.  The following things occurred when I went to...

I Wrote a Fable About Nazi Sympathizers
A few years ago (early high school days maybe?), I wrote a fable which I now realize is about Nazi sympathizers.  It’s about a small town in Poland that has a Jewish name, but no Jews, but Nazis keep invading and ruining everything because of the name.  Also, a little boy named Hans invents hot chocolate.  Here it is, nothing changed.  Enjoy. - The winter of 1940 was brutally cold in...

Now, back to your regularly scheduled programming.
jennyjay: Aaaaaand Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome back to the Awkwardest Person Alive Awards. I’m your host, Chip Vanderhooten.  We are only moments away from announcing our winner, and, ladies and gentlemen, there is some stiff competition this year. There sure is, Chip.  Our five nominees tonight are all very special- and very awkward- in their own ways.  At this point, it’s anybody’s game. ...

Famous Chefs Talk About What Their Last Meals... →
I think about this idea a lot - not in a morbid way, but it’s an interesting question.  What would you eat if you knew it would be your last meal on earth?  Famous chefs like Mario Batali, Alain Ducasse, and Jamie Oliver answer in this link.

Secret Blend
I like to think that there is someone on this earth whose personal mission it is to use every herb and spice in every possible combination until they find the 11 that make up KFC’s secret blend.  Like, he has two kids and a failing marriage, but every day after his dead-end insurance job, he goes into the garage and makes fried chicken over and over again. The KFC website isn’t any...

A Truth-Filled Moment
True Life: I tear up when I pee. FAQ’s - Yes, every time.  No, I’m not thinking of sad things at the time.  No, it’s not painful.  But most importantly, I don’t know why it happens. APPARENTLY, this is not a completely unheard of thing.  They’re called “pee tears.”  Unfortunately, when you Google this phrase, not a ton comes up.  The first thing that...

My New York Magazine "Best of the Decade"...
1) TV Show of the Decade: The Wire I’ll give this to The Wire.  The other shows that could be up for the honor (The Sopranos, Daily Show/Colbert, Sex & The City, etc) either fall too specifically into a demographic, or were marred by terrible last episodes or bad movie adaptations.  If I had to pick another show for this one, I’d pick The Daily Show, which I don’t even watch...

You Should Go See MYSTERY TEAM.
I actually first had the opportunity to see Mystery Team about a year and a half ago.  The Derrick guys brought it to Hammerkatz and graciously let us watch it (some friends of mine had PAd on it and some of them were even in it!), which was amazing for me because I was just a little Hammerkitten.  IT WAS HYSTERICAL.  It made me proud to even be remotely associated with these guys (I’m not...

This Might Be the Best This American Life Story...
http://www.thisamericanlife.org/Radio_Episode.aspx?sched=1280 The second story of this episode of This American Life (“My Big Break” - Take My Break, Please) is about Charlie Brill and Mitzi McCall, the comedy duo who went on The Ed Sullivan Show on the same night as The Beatles.  It’s hilarious and kind of depressing.  Listen to it.
