IN WHICH SOMEONE GETS VERY UPSET OVER A CHOCOLATE PENIS
This is Elizabeth McClure. She is approximately as little fun to be around as a person can be. Now I haven’t met Elizabeth, so I’m just guessing, but here’s why. In June, Elizabeth was eating her usual Cadbury’s Nibbles, a delightful chocolatey treat, when she came across something that stopped…

IN WHICH I RUIN A CHILDHOOD FANTASY OF YOURS. ON PURPOSE.
Remember when you were a little boy, killing small animals with knives and building fortresses out of dirt and sticks? Girls (55 percent of my audience), you can ignore this part. Anyway, the inevitable discussion that every single small boy has ever had is the following: if you could have…

CELL PHONES DO NOT CAUSE CANCER. STILL. REALLY.
Listen, kids. Normally I try to come up with some kind of pithy title for my posts, often including a pun or a lot of swear words because I’m pissed off about whatever it is that’s happening. Not today. And why, you ask? Because today I am sad. I am…

THREE PRODUCTS TO ANNOUNCE TO THE WORLD THAT YOU’VE GIVEN UP
You’re getting older. Gone are the gallivanting days of being single, the one night stands, the keg stands, the ability to take 15 shots in a night and still function the next day. Gone is the six-pack that you could maintain on a diet of frozen pizza and Snickers bars,…
