The last-ever episode of The Nooner went up today on SNY.tv.
For a variety of reasons, I can’t quibble with the decision to pull the plug on the show, but I still find it a bit sad.
It’s sad because I spent about the first two hours of every workday for the past 22 months writing jokes [...]

YouTube is incredible. I found this video today, from the 1990 MTV Rock N’ Jock softball game. It features Bud Bundy, for one thing, plus Keanu Reeves back when he was just “Keanu Reeves, from Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure.”
We don’t see it, but we’re told that Tone Loc picks off Reeves at first base. [...]

I’m considering starting up a podcast, so I’m curious:
On second thought, some of the choices there might skew the results a little, so let me be more specific.
I’m considering starting up a podcast, unaffiliated with SNY (but certain to be shamelessly linked from this blog) with my former college roommate Ted Burke, one of the [...]

All the REO Speedwagon talk the past couple of days made me think of the following video, courtesy of my some of college roommate Ted’s high school buddies. It was their entry for a Denver-area radio station’s contest to create its new commercial, and somehow I don’t think it won. Something about them not actually [...]

The inimitable Mike Salfino found this, on the Barnes and Noble page for Linda Cohn’s autobiography:
“Linda Cohn is far hotter than her ‘girl in the locker room’ persona would suggest. I’ve been with her backstage at a rock and roll show. . . . I know.”
—Kevin Cronin, lead vocalist for REO Speedwagon
So there we have [...]

OK, I apologize for the lack of posts today, but some minor good news:
The “categories” linked on the right column of this blog have been broken since the start. Until today, when you clicked them, you could see the entries in those categories, but not the titles of those entries, making them pretty much useless.
Today, [...]

OK, I posted this on Twitter and only Catsmeat was goodly enough to respond. I’m looking for an answer, and I’m not looking to accept something as simple as “oh, Internet ads something have random pictures attached to them.”
Who the hell is this guy?

This bearded, wild-haired fellow has been haunting sidebar ads all over the [...]

Back in the early days of TedQuarters, one of the most lively comments-section debates came in a post about cheesesteaks and how they’re overrated. Chris M, Intrusivity, Catsmeat and Will all confirmed the existence of the grease trucks at Rutgers, and something called the fat sandwich.
Yesterday, I had one. And it was good.
Good enough to [...]

As far as I’m concerned, this nation’s Golden Age came from 1861-1913.
Now I recognize that the Civil War and plenty of other terrible, horrible  things happened in that span, but I also know that, across those years, nine of the 11 presidents had facial hair. Never before and never since has this great country seen [...]

Look: I’ve made plenty of fat jokes at Rex Ryan’s expense. Scores of them.
But I’m not going to beat the guy up for what happened Tuesday night, when he accidentally exposed his gut to the crowd while changing jerseys at a Carolina Hurricanes game, inspiring a New York post news story in the process.
Because it’s [...]
