Email Exchange With Dara About His Mom's Vacation
Dara: My mom just retired and just left for Iran for a couple of months to help her sister go through chemotherapy. What a vacation!
Me: A vacation of chemotherapy treatment in Iran, eh? Not exactly the big window poster display in most travel agencies.
Dara: At least she's managing to attend a riot or two in between infidel stonings.

No Longer Waiting For It
I am officially ceasing to, wait for it, use the following phrase: "wait for it." As of now.
Is snowboarding really a sport? All those guys look totally stoned. Wouldn't it be more fun if we made all the stoned guys do that nordic biathlon event where they have to cross country ski and then shoot a rifle? There'd be Cheney action all over the place.
And what sort of random combination of events is that anyway? Can we just combine any two random activities and create a new olympic sport? If so, I vote for an event that combines curling with cliff diving.

Hey VH1, Have I Got A Show For You
VH1 always has those talking heads offering their comments on trivial stuff during shows like I Love The 80s, 40 Most Awesomely Bad Breakup Songs, and When Mindless Television Executives Ruled The World. Well, I've got a metariffic show concept for the nextwork: 100 Most Awesomely Awesome VH1 Pundit Comments!
Yes, it'll be a countdown show where all those comedians, journalists, and D-list celebs get to offer their comments on the wackiest comments from all those other VH1 shows. Really, who wouldn't want to hear French Stewart analyzing Christian Finnegan's analysis of media coverage analyzing Simon Cowell's analysis of some untalented schmoe from Duluth? It'd be the perfect pop culture storm.
