Dudes of OKCupid

Dudes of OKCupid

I wish I could add a ton of hilarious commentary. But how do I top “I’m a writing panda. I eat words like bamboo.” HOW? I can’t. What I can say is that whenever I’m like “Ugh. Marriage. How the hell have I been doing this for 10 years?” I see something like this and I’m like “OMG I LOVE MARRIAGE AND MONOGAMY AND EVERYTHING ABOUT NEVER DATING SW... »

Mad Pic Lab: QUACKS ARE HERE!

Mad Pic Lab: QUACKS ARE HERE!

HELLLLOOOOOOOOOO photo takers! IT’S MAD PIC LAB DAY! And I’m all kinds of loopy because I’m on migraine meds. I’m high as a mofo, but not in pain. Because my doctor isn’t a QUACK. Yes, it’s a terrible joke. But I don’t care BECAUSE I FEEL GREAT AND I LOVE SCIENCE BASED MEDICINE AND CAPS LOCK. So… last week, your assignment was “Quack”. An... »

Mad Pic Lab: Zombies edition

If you hadn’t heard, the Mad Pic Lab project is back and IN ACTION, MOFOS! Last week, we re-kicked off with Zombies! Because this project died months ago and NOW IT’S BACK FOR YOUR BRAINZ! Refresher: Every Tuesday afternoon, I will post a word. You have one week to get a picture to me with that week’s theme. There are no rules except that the pic has to be your own creation. It doesn’t... »

MadPicLab Returns! LIKE A ZOMBIE!

MadPicLab Returns! LIKE A ZOMBIE!

Last spring, I launched a project called Mad Pic Lab, a photo-a-day crowd-art project, and everyone fell in love with everything about it. Today, it returns. Except it will be weekly and not daily. So, if you are new to MPL or need a refresher, here’s how it works—Every Tuesday afternoon, I will post a word. You have one week to get a picture to me with that week’s theme. There are no ... »

Happy Sloth! The most huggable vaccine song ever written!

Happy Sloth! The most huggable vaccine song ever written!

My friend Greg “Gerg” Perrine wrote a song about vaccines. I feel like he was thinking about me when he wrote this song… though I can’t prove it. But it suspiciously mentions a happy sloth, a moose and “da lady bug”… while the new Hug Me I’m Vaccinated shirts feature sloths, and Moose and Delaney Bug are my kids. Sure there’s turtles, too. BUT ... »

Mad Pic Lab: June 26

Mad Pic Lab: June 26

This week’s word is: Hot Because I’m living in an especially hot ring of hell called Texas. And it’s the only word I could think of. Last week, I was all sick because my esophagus closed up(!) and Anne was awesome, stepping in and instructing you all to make me look at sloths. BEST. ANNE. EVER. Also, I loved your Mofos! Thanks, guys! And the good news is that Daniela lived anothe... »

Mad Pic Lab: June 12

Your Mad Pic Lab word this week is: Mofo! This week is my birthday. And since this is my project (mine in that I totally stole it from Cotton Babies) and I make all the rules. So my birthday week can be themed after me, El Mofo! If you’re not sure what Mad Pic Lab is, but want to participate because it’s my birthday and you want to make me happy, it’s a former photo-a-day project... »

Mad Pic Lab: The challenge continues!

Mad Pic Lab: The challenge continues!

Everyone was sad that Mad Pic Lab was ending. So, per everyone’s request, I’m keeping it going on and on. The difference is that now we’ll be doing weekly themes instead of daily themes. That’s an easier pace for me, and I think  for an infinite project, weekly is better than daily. This week’s Mad Pic Lab word is: Skull, in honor of Skull Appreciation Day. Also, reme... »
