Hello, my doomed darlings; it’s your old Uncle Ghoulie again. Come sit in my LURID lap so I can offer some suggestions for those who are ready to party… until they PERISH! That’s right, just pick your poison, pretties… Will it be the deadly demon of dance? The atrocities of art? The roach-riddled rot of […]

All Hail the A/V Geek While most of us remember the high school A/V geek as the nerd who set up the classroom projector (who could also be found shoved headfirst in the boy’s room garbage can after I finished my second-period smoke break) this A/V geek is somewhat different.

To me, the big morning switch from jammies to jeans and T-shirt requires at least three loud sighs of annoyance, and an extra loud sigh if I find anything with a stain on it. But to those […]

Live and Die By the Bike Even if you’re not planning on riding any bikes or participating in any of the death-defying challenges today, definitely wear a helmet.
