I currently live in Lynchburg, home to Liberty University and Jerry Falwell. As a liberal atheist, it’s not exactly my first choice of hometowns. It could’ve been worse, however. I used to live both here: http://slog.thestranger.com/slog/archives/2011/10/27/what-does-it-take-to-get-expelled-from-union-scioto-high-school and here: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33332436/ns/us_news-race_and_ethnicity/?gt1=43001. Lynchburg doesn’t seem so bad in comparison.

Damn, Lucy is a cold bitch.

I’d like to see him do another travel book. I’d love to read his thoughts on Asia.

lazybookreviews:

See, I really enjoy Bill Bryson. You can always give his books as successful presents to various age groups, and he’s on that twee-but-now-you-know-about-cotton-production continuum.

But, just about the time ‘At Home’ came out, he officially became that Family Guy skit where Stephen King is at…

“Nursing” a doll when I was about 3 or 4. I put nursing in quotes because very few 3 or 4 year old boys lactate.

I hereby resolve to only refer to him as “the late Jesus.”

stfubelievers:

This submission is about the late Jesus.

Hope I don’t find out what’s in my stocking.

My favorite appearance: the guy from Milli Vanilli. Finally back in his comfort zone: lip-synching to someone else’s music.

Welp, if this isn’t proof Paul McCartney has been dead this whole time, I don’t know what else you need.

I could describe this video as “Malcolm Jamal Warner, Ricki Lake and Peter Falk join other stars of stage and screen in singing ‘Let It Be,’” and that only describes 1/20th of its weirdness.

I just deactivated my Facebook account and changed my Twitter name. I so rarely use Facebook that I don’t feel I am hampering my life in any way by doing so. I also believe that any potentially negative information on Facebook may harm my career prospects. Although I don’t think there is much on there that could hurt, I’d rather be safe than sorry as well as remove any potential for future damage. I also figure it makes sense to change my Twitter name away from my real name. So why thefoxyredheads? Because that’s the name of my band. Ok, I don’t have a band, but if I did, I would call it The Foxy Redheads.
