Loading ...Some of my favorite weekends and least regrettable hangovers are courtesy of long nights spent playing traveling drinking games. Forget laid back games involving ping pong balls or a deck of cards - I’m talking about mobile, interactive drinking games that get you drunk quick and keep you there all night.

Comments (0) It’s Fall: Let’s Make Some Applesauce!
October 9, 2008 - 1:00 pm
It’s Fall, and few things make me drool harder than homemade applesauce (in case you were wondering what else could possibly trump applesauce on the list see: the cast of Ocean’s 11, dental work, and a good nap).
I digress. Homemade applesauce is surprisingly easy to make and cooks up really fast. It’s a great way […]

Comments (9) America’s Creepiest Family Band Wows Us With A Crappy Version of ‘Umbrella’

Comments (15) A Crazy Roommate Survival Guide!
August 29, 2008 - 10:30 am
To put it plainly, my first college roommate was a megabitch. Sharon* (named changed to protect the dreadful) and I never spoke. Our room was silent and filled with angst.

Comments (18) America’s Got Talent: 9-Year-Old Boy Continues Quest For World Domination/Reality Show Fame
August 6, 2008 - 8:30 am
David Militello is adorable…so adorable that the earth may implode under the weight of his toothy grin and little kid high-notes. Little David auditioned for America’s Got Talent awhile back and made it through to Las Vegas, the AGT equivalent of Hollywood Week.
Before he left, The Hoff made this prediction/menacing threat:
