One of the problems I have with watching paint dry lies in the question of is it indeed the paint that has dried or is it just a matter of my perception changing? Sitting in the middle of a poorly ventilated room with freshly painted walls trying to determine if and when it will dry and if I...

Salient 1998 Wrestling Statistics, for those who forgot to keep score:

Odd board games:

That's pretty hilarious. Actually, unbelievably hilarious. How on earth can someone who contributed a not insignificant slice of pessimism to the world by, oh I don't know, ruining people, slandering people, financially disenfranchising people, corrupting organizations, threatening people and...
