  1. I like this.. can he please not be yet another music reviewer? I’m more interested in Derek’s thoughts on the world.
    Although… why do 15-year-olds do drugs and have sex, but not text? Hmm.

  2. I don’t understand the choice of a line chart for the data set: “The Tone of Ira Glass’ Voice over the Years”. This graphic would imply some sort of a quantitative relationship in which:

    Ennui < Enthused < Apathy (Extreme) < …

    What the hell is “Enthused” doing between those other two? What sort of a continuum is this supposed to be? I’m quite perplexed.

  3. I appreciate that Calebs make such an impression on your mind, but I’ve only met like three others and only two of them spell it the right way.

  4. they don’t actually pay you to do this do they, in this economy? Aren’t the weak already eaten by now?

    Like a turkey nearing the end of November, watch your back Derek, they are on to you. Cartoonists and Poets go first.

  5. It’s a little tough to explain Time Cube in a comments section, but I can give you this information about it’s creator from Wikipedia: “Before Time Cube, Gene Ray advocated the sport of marbles. He authored a book titled Mr. Marbles – Marbles for Everyone, and got the city council of St. Petersburg, Florida to proclaim a “Marbles Week” in the 1970s. In 1987, this became a controversial attempt to establish a million dollar marble tournament inside a huge round structure and establish a philosophical “Order of the Sphere”.”

  6. I’m Grumpy because I want to hate on this, but it’s some of the funniest shit that’s been in the Stranger for awhile. Granted, it’s a less-funny version of what you find on TheOnion, but still.

    Stop trashing on the hinterlands: Tacoma, Lwood, Vancouver. At least a guy can go there and drink a few with a sexy woman and have decent odds of taking her home. Seattle seems to turn Women’s vaginas off – and the Men INTO vaginas.
