Mr Weaver, congratulations sir, I can see here…
Yes, yes you are not to wait in line with these peasants. No, bypass the chaps in their football jerseys, side step the “high on REI” soccer moms, the scrunched up cowboy hat co-eds with questionable taste in cocktails, the heroine chic cup a lanky models… you get [...]
Dear Wolf Marine,
I’ve got a math problem that I can’t solve and my dad says if I don’t figure it out, he’s going to sell my collection of vintage Barbie dolls… I think he secretly hates me because I’m gay. Please help!
Sincerely,
Johnny-in-the-closet
Johnny, did you ever hear about the time the Wolf Marine went to Hanover? [...]
Hey Wolf Marine,
I gots this problem wif a girl, I think I love her but she won’t return my phone calls. I brought her a Big Mac with extra pickles, just the way she likes it and she told me to “respect the restraining order”. What should I do?
Confused about the legalities of fast food.

A scant five years ago, I was invited to the premier of a new downhill mountain bike film, I would have probably preferred to see it at home, but since I was given tickets, I acquiesced and headed out to a fancy (well, at least yuppified) high school to attend. There was, of course, no [...]
It was with some resignation that I found myself journeying out north of Leeds. I hadn’t envisioned my life taking such a turn. Why it was only last year when I found myself teaching at the Royal College of Surgeons in Oxford. Hadn’t I put in enough time, barking instructions to ill equipped young men, [...]
If any movie was marketed as well in my lifetime, I’m too ignorant and uniformed to know (aside from the Pineapple Express trailer which practically made MIA a star overnight), but the original Matrix was swathed in mystery: ads that revealed very little about the film but had quick shots of crazy action scenes. Brilliant. [...]
Google has announced a fantastic new feature for GMail: autopilot. This new feature will allow you to auto-magically respond to emails, making your personal life that much easier!
Why bother with communication? It was bad enough when it was face-to-face, and it didn’t exactly get magically easy when you were hiding away in your cave of [...]
Hats off to whoever did this Quizno’s ad (Quizno’s is a Denver company, BTW), is this actually on tv? Homoerotic jokes are fantastic because they make “bro” types so uncomfortable. Though it’s not the best commercial they have done, Quizno’s has had quite a few brilliant ads over the years (remember the one with the [...]
It’s old, but it’s funny: the phony “viral videos” that Sony hired a marketing firm to do when the PSP was first released. I believe the words “funky fresh” were used to describe why they pulled the vidoes… in reality, savvy nerds did a “whois” on the domain name. In other words, the DNS information [...]
My iPhone chimed it’s merry alarm code in my ear, early this morning, but even my dog (who normally is champing at the bit to relieve himslef) did not want to arise. Perhaps it was the chill March morning (quite the adjustment from what was to be a merry, warm transition to Spring), or perhaps [...]
