The meatheads on The Fan have taken to calling the on-again/off-again girlfriend of their producer “The Cougar”. I thought maybe I’d lost out on an inside joke from way back. Maybe she was a Washington State graduate. Turns out there’s a genre of single(?) woman out there called the Cougar. The [...]

There’s a reason people tune into you rather than watch the game. Maybe they’re out running errands. Maybe they’re driving home from work. Maybe they’re at work. Whatever it is they’re doing, they’re listening to you because they can’t watch the game on TV. No one, and I mean no one, is turning down the [...]

In case the video didn’t blow your mind, try this on for size: Jeff “Skunk” Baxter, the bare-chested guitarist on the far right, is now a missile defense consultant.

Obama The Muslim
November 29th, 2007 by Chris Snethen · No Comments · Politics

Till I Get to the Bottom and I See You Again
November 29th, 2007 by Chris Snethen · No Comments · My American Life
I had a little time to kill downtown on Tuesday night, so I ducked into the remodeled Meier and Frank Macy’s to see what they’d done with the place. I’d only been in the store a few times in my life. I’d been very unimpressed. It seemed stuck in some bygone era. Like one of [...]

So says Megan, the female subject of this week’s Date Lab experiment in the Washington Post.

Everyone’s New Favorite Referee

Ron Cherry has been lighting up the Interwebs all weekend. I hope we haven’t seen the last of him this season. College football would be well served to advertise his presence should he officiate a bowl game. So long as it doesn’t involve Clemson.

How Best To Preserve Mt St Helens?
November 27th, 2007 by Chris Snethen · No Comments · Politics, Regional
National park or volcanic monument? On the face, it would seem to be a no brainer, but like most everything else, nothing is as easy as it seems. If turning it into a national park means less access for sportsmen, then we need to find another option.
