Leader in the Clubhouse

Last year, for Halloween, I went with a loose interpretation of Super Mario:

If you want to have an impressive costume, you always have to be on the lookout for next year’s idea. And I think I’ve found my best option to date…

Thanks to Olympic men’s figure skating last night on NBC, [...]

Do You Feel Lucky?

First came the Deer Hunter scene.

Then came the drinking game around the iRevolver App at Penn State weekend in Chicago.

Now, thanks to the heads up from Evan, comes ChatRoulette.com (via BarStoolSports.com):

So I’ve gotten a couple emails about this new website called Chat Roulette. Basically it’s like Russian Roulette except instead of [...]

Some more Halloween pics just popped up on Facebook: if you were walking down the street and saw Captain America fighting Super Mario, it would blow your mind, right?

Don’t worry, kids. Good isn’t actually fighting good. It just makes a nice photo op.

And my Super Mario eyebrows were out of [...]

Illinois Nice

I hate Vikings fans because they are our mirror opposites. Bears and Lions fans come from the ‘big city’ so we have less in common, and I only strongly dislike them, not hate, because their teams have never been a threat to the Packers during my lifetime. And Jay ‘The INT’ Cutler is pretty [...]

Smaller than an 8th Grader

I reached another milestone. It took me 237 days from the start of My Fitness Project, but I finally got under my 8th grade basketball weight. My height is about the same too, so you could say that I’m smaller than an 8th grader.

My father and I had discussed a weight loss [...]

Wake Up

I’ve had a severe cold since Halloween. It’s actually only gotten worse in the last couple of days, which explains why there haven’t been as many posts. But I’m feeling a little better this morning, so I need to get my brain back in shape. I haven’t done this puzzle yet (I need to [...]

The End of Negadelphia???

[Editorial Note: I'm late getting ready for my weekend trip in Chicago, so I don't have time to edit, proofread, insert links, or, most importantly, censor this article for Wernick. But I must admit, I watched the first six innings of the World Series game last night, and despite the fact that I want [...]

Fantasizing: Week 7

Usually Maciej sends around a weekly rundown early Monday morning to show us where our matchups are at and what, if any players are yet to go on Monday night since a number of people can’t access the website from work. However, for the first time since I can remember, he didn’t do it [...]

Ranking Nerds: Week 6

Almost half way through the regular season and it’s becoming pretty obvious who the best fantasy teams are.

It’s also obvious that the superior division is Natty Bo (aka NFC North). Schmitz looks like he has the easiest path to a first round bye in the playoffs by winning the easy Yuengling [...]

I tried, unsuccessfully, to get the Baltimore group up to Kohler for a few days before the big Penn State/Northwestern game in Chicago on Halloween. There is the Food and Wine Festival, snow, Hay pyramids, camels, and much more. But apparently that wasn’t enticing enough.

Perhaps, the chance of seeing naked women stealing beef [...]
