Friday Night Fukudome: Joe the Plumber vs. The Joker

It’s Halloween night. This is the best holiday of the year. You get to escape from your meaningless life for a few hours, you don’t have to go visit relatives, and normally nice girls dress like prostitutes. I figure there are going to be two costumes above all others worn by guys [...]


Sweet Uncle Lou’s Friday Roundup: The “BOO!” Edition

Happy Halloween, nerds. A night when women you will never touch dress far sluttier than you deserve to see. Try not to embarrass yourselves. Roundup time:
