My Holiday Cards Are Better Than Your Holiday Cards

I started a tradition my freshman year of college back in 1994 – since I was making new friends, I thought it would be fun to send each one a holiday card.

I wanted to do something fun, and my mom suggested the Oriental Trading Company catalog, which has dozens of different cards.   All crap quality, but cheap. READ MORE

My Career As A Video and Photo Thief

For two years in college I worked at a grocery store as the photo lab guy.

During my employment, the store was moved after my first year.   Initially that department was a combination where we did video rentals, photo processing, and sold perfume.

When the store moved to its new location they decided to eliminate the movie rentals.   The perfume counter got its own section, and I no longer got to spritz my coworker with Prescriptives Flirt for fun. READ MORE

DoubleBack – This Week in TFP – 9/5/11 – 9/11/11

Did you read every last word I wrote this past week?

What?   You didn’t?

That’s hurtful, goddammit!

I bet you didn’t miss Top Chef!   Seriously, is that good?   What is it, a bunch of cooks hanging around with their Ginzus?   No offense, but watching people cook doesn’t interest me when I’m IN a restaurant. READ MORE

I'm at My Fattest and Unfunniest – A Confession

When I was a newborn, I developed a double hernia at ten weeks and underwent emergency surgery.

During the delivery my mother received a botched epidural, and the doctor accidentally struck her spine.   She was in a coma for four weeks.

During that time I was sent home with my father and two grandmothers.   Within a few weeks they had started me on human food (bananas and such), which turned out to not be a great move.   Apparently, my nervous system was not fully developed and I cried like crazy.   Food shut me up. READ MORE

Santa Fe With Mom – In Photos – Part II

As you may have read in my last post, these reports are about my vacation here in Santa Fe with my mom.

To recap my last entry, I had a super great time in Taos with a llama.   It’s weird to have an animal who is near my height that will walk with you and carry your stuff.     They’re even a little bashful – when they have to go to the bathroom, they leave the trail and go off to the side!   Just like me!

Santa Fe With Mom – In Photos – Part I

Since I’ve been so busy here in Santa Fe, I don’t really have time to write much.

It’s been a constant intake of green chiles.   They put chiles in everything, which, to me, is most appreciated.

I’m a little bummed because I can’t think of one funny thing to write in this post.   So, think of this article as the last season of Seinfeld – it just isn’t going to make you laugh. READ MORE

DoubleBack – This Week in TFP – 8/28/11 – 9/4/11

I’m glad to say for the first time in the history of this website, I have completed my first full week of posts.

My intention was always to publish something every few days, and I’m thankful that my readership keeps increasing.

In fact, just yesterday Google had my blog ranked around position twelve for the search keywords “blog funny” and “funny blog.” READ MORE
