Added by admin on December 24th, 2008, filed under Culture, Miscellaneous

We don't know who this guy is, but we did find this photo clipping laying on Dennis' empty desk. Based on the evidence, it seems Dennis took off running to Men's Fashion Barn for their annual Christmas Eve matching-socks-and-tie sale. If we know him, right now he's slugging it out with some feisty octogenarian 'neath [...]

Tacky Christmas Sweater #17: "Not the face!"

Added by admin on December 23rd, 2008, filed under Culture, Miscellaneous

If it's true that it takes a handsome man to pull off a truly hideous sweater, it's easy to see why Rob is considered the best looking guy in the office. Once, he parlayed those star looks into a lucrative modeling career, at least until destiny intervened. "Trav Fimmel, Mark Schenkenberg and I were all [...]

Why is this woman smiling? Obviously, because after decades as a dog breeder, Lisa has finally succeeded in fulfilling a life-long dream: the 8 point labradeer. "For years people have laughed at the very idea of crossing a canine with a ruminant," Lisa said recently. "But who has the last laugh now? These animals are [...]

Let's face it, lumps of coal in the stocking aren't always the most effective motivator for the truly naughty. So when Santa needs enforcement, he calls on this man: Ricky "The Reindeer" Schardein. "Christmas isn't all sugar plums and mistletoe," said Schardein in the recent VH1 special, Santa: Behind the Red Suit. "There's always that [...]

Added by admin on December 18th, 2008, filed under Culture, Miscellaneous

Who knew that twenty-five years after the demise of Nick's 70's-era dance troupe, Lord Funk-O-More & The Electric Spank, a few of the old stage props would come in handy again. "These lights were part of my 'robot' solo," Nick said over drinks at the office Christmas party. "I'd slip on the specs and start [...]

I received a notice in my email this morning that Yahoo! Music is changing. Really? I wasn't aware that there WAS a Yahoo! Music. Apparently so. Why they are sending me a notice to my GMail account I don't know. I've never signed up for their service, and it isn't a phishing attack (I checked). [...]

Tacky Christmas Sweater #13: "Donovan takes on the black diamond"

Added by admin on December 17th, 2008, filed under Culture, Miscellaneous

Skiing may be the sport of kings, but it's not without its dangers. Take for example poor young Donovan here, who's been frozen solid in this position ever since he was overtaken by an avalanche on Paoli Peaks this weekend. We expect that he'll thaw out to the point he can start getting some work [...]

As a young nerdling, Sean knew very well what it was like to be tricked or cajoled into licking ice cold light posts in winter. That's why as an adult he founded the National Tongue and Frozen Pole Awareness Network. "This is an especially tough time of year for geeks and spazzes," he said. "Right [...]

Added by admin on December 15th, 2008, filed under Culture, Miscellaneous

Though you wouldn't know it from the way it's been edited, this photograph was taken in mid air — some 10,000 feet off the ground — from the helmet-cam of another member of Allison's stunt holiday skydiving troupe, The Kringles. "This dive wasn't supposed to be chute-less," she recently told Jumper Magazine. "But when I [...]

Tacky Christmas Sweater #10: "The Power of Suggestion Compels You!"

Added by admin on December 12th, 2008, filed under Culture, Miscellaneous

It’s one thing to win a bunch of state fair ribbons for hypnotizing farm animals, it’s quite another to start practicing your dark arts around the office. Sadly Anthony didn’t exercise this sort of judgment when he used his powers of suggestion to convince Katy she was Dasher, one of Santa’s reindeer. Now, instead of [...]
