Pax Arcana
Our children are increasingly obese, the sad byproduct of cheap carbohydrates and a sedentary lifestyle. Returning physical education to budget-strapped public schools is one of key efforts in the drive to combat the problem.
But according to this article, that effort is fraught with issues — including a 150% increase in gym class injuries from [...]

Check out Pax’s new tattoo!
Father Scott
We all know how much of a geek Pax Arcana is. I would try to link to all the posts he’s made about how much he loves Apple or the boner he gets from some TechCrunch article, but WordPress just informed me that there’s not enough space on the Internet to do so.
But this [...]

I will deposit my twits in your eye-holes
Pax Arcana
Last month I asked my Hungarian manservant to explain why the entire world was aflutter over something called “Twitter.” Unfortunately the English lessons I am paying so dearly for have not yet taken purchase, because his answer was an unintelligible jumble of fake words like tweet, tweeple, tweetard, twike, twode, and twouche.
Really, he sounded [...]

Fizy.
Via YoonTunes (the man, not the blog), this site is a giant database of mp3s and videos that you can access at your command. So, if, for example, your ipod always craps out and has no battery power and you’ve run out of fantasy sports podcasts to listen to but you still want to [...]

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 [...]

The Last Stand?
Fallen Angel
The jersey is on. The Fosters is being cleared out. Will this be the end?

World Series Live Blog: Game 2
Pink-hatted Raysist Fallen Angel cleverly hijacked the comments section of our Big Bird funerary dirge post to grunt his way through an impromptu live blog of Game 1 of the World Series. I thought it was awesome. He wants to do it again. I invite Paxists from all over the globe — Padre, Perry, NotZucchini, [...]

Crickets chirping
Father Scott
To be a fish, you need water.
To be a criminal, you need an innocent victim.
To be a blogger, or any effective member of the workforce, you need a computer.
Our dear friend Pax forgot this last part. Getting ready for work this morning, Senor Arcana forgot that part of his job is to bring his [...]

Three things I learned at Yankee Stadium
Pax Arcana
Barring a monumental collapse by a handful of superior teams, last night was the end for legendary Yankee Stadium — home to more than 1/6th of all World Series games.
I watched some of ESPN’s coverage of the occasion. The pregame broadcast had the distinction of being both haphazard (it ran on two different ESPN [...]
