Now that we’ve gotten the longest title in the world out of the way, let’s recap. We have to this point discussed the Chicagoan’s Guide to Vegassery, covered sex and capitalism, and now we get to the part where I just troll my brain for other stuff we haven’t covered to this point.
The chances of [...]
Sin City: The Heroin of Capitalism
Feb 18th, 2010
While the title implies some sort of graduate level thesis or in-depth study, 5 days of hazy observation of the Vegas landscape leaves me more than qualified to drop about a thousands words worth of science about capitalistic theory, gambling and sex, its effects on its surroundings and other things that sound terribly, terribly smart. [...]
In Which We Discuss the Real Sin of Sin City.
Feb 16th, 2010
Before we begin today, how about a round of applause to Las Vegas for ditching that whole “embracing the family-friendly approach to tourism” thing and just completely embracing the fact that we all just need a place to go cut loose and get a little naughty or crazy or debaucherous. The world never needed another [...]
A Chicagoan’s Short Guide to Las Vegas.
Feb 15th, 2010

Feb 2nd, 2010
For about the last month or so, we’ve been wall-to-wall with flyers and commercials and ads and interviews and volunteers shoving pieces of paper in front of us at our El stops which are quickly balled up and thrown away. People have been shaking babies and kissing asses and – well, something like that. You [...]
In Which I Expand Upon Food Network Programming.
Jan 21st, 2010
I’ve officially set the DVR to record all the upcoming “Worst Cooks In America” shows from the Food Network, a channel I have mostly been ignoring for the past three years of my life. This is a major step and I commend FN for finally coming up with a concept that doesn’t just rehash recipes [...]
You’re (Effing) Old: Post-Debauchery Cleansing.
Jan 18th, 2010
A decade ago, I was a wee lad just entering the age where you throw social gatherings in order to injest massive amounts of alcohol. As one might expect of a group of very-early-20s gentlemen, we were not the most tidy individuals on the face of the planet.
Put plainly, we were filthy. We were men [...]
