Well look at this freaking tiny deer

Father Scott
My dad is the only person in America who still sends chain emails. (I think they probably still do it in China, because Web sites aren’t allowed.) Anyway, I usually ignore them because I’m terrified that they will be horribly inappropriate and cause our company’s Web people to come up and light my computer [...]

Things I did over Patriots Day weekend

Father Scott
The Padre has been noticeably absent in these parts for a while, and here’s why.
For one thing, when I started writing here I focused mostly on music, and I only get music from a couple of sources, so it makes that writing get kind of old. Do you care if I’m on a Pearl [...]

Recession beards don’t make sense

Pax Arcana
Advertising Age says the latest recession-trend — just behind “ass-scratching” and “giving up hope” — is “growing a beard.”
No, seriously. That’s what they say:
Hence the “recession beard,” a theory propounded by Philips’ Norelco and its recently retained brand spokesman, Esquire grooming editor and New York salon owner Rodney Cutler. Mr. Cutler said he believes [...]

All quiet on the Pax Arcana front

Father Scott
Pax is out sick today, so don’t expect much from us unless Perry writes out a 12 billion word screed about the facial hair of the bassist of The Hold Steady.
If you’re curious, Pax is out with a case of chronic goofyface, which he picked up at this weekend’s flag football game.

I, on the [...]

Old tortoise is banging, happy

Pax Arcana
With apologies to Father Scott, Betty White isn’t the only prehistoric creature itchin’ to get some loving.
On the island of St. Helena, a sea tortoise named Jonathan is cruising around and eating grass and doing tons of chicks. By chicks, of course, I mean other sea tortoises.
Oh, also, people just found a picture of [...]

Is Father Scott the next great sports blogger?

Father Scott
Doubtful, but WEEI.com (which has been revamped and is actually pretty great now) held a contest this month in which they were searching for “the next great sports blogger.” They’re looking for someone to write once a week (so is it really a blog, then?), and since they’re offering $5,000 to do it, I figured [...]

The grand Father Scott football preview

Father Scott
Your favorite local Padre, Fallen Angel, and the Paxman himself are in a fantasy football league at our lovely office. FA and Pax dueled it out in last year’s championship with Senor Arcana taking the crown, and FA getting hauled away in cuffs to share a cell with Cedric Benson.

This is my only reason [...]

Laced Padre of the Miserable Army

Father Scott
I took a couple of minutes away from Lil’ Wayne’s latest joint (bitch, it’s the bomb like tick, tick) to read an All Songs Considered blogpost about a website devoted to spitting out a band name for people not creative enough to do so themselves (then why are you creating music, you might ask, and [...]

Follow Father Scott in all his glory

Father Scott
No, I’m not talking about watching me roast Pax Arcana’s proverbial ass on the flag football field. I’m talking about me in my ideal setting, my true calling: as an NBA GM.
Stupid Sideline Reporters has set up an interactive mock draft of the upcoming NBA draft and has sought various bloggers to join the effort. [...]
