A ludicrously luxurious bathroom
Look: I have no problem with interior decorating. In fact I once moved my entire bedroom 180 degrees counterclockwise because the Chi was better on that side of the room, then 90 degrees upwards because I thought the ceiling would work with the rest of the room better if [...]

THIS JUST IN: Red Probe
The Chinese probe is called “Chang’e”, which means, “Fearsome Dildo with Sombrero”

LIVE-BLOGGING: Run like Hell
On Sunday I ran in the Run Like Hell 1/2 marathon through downtown Portland, up into the West Hills and back again. That’s 13.5 miles. I spent a lot of time looking at people’s asses throughout the race. I noticed that, as I passed people slower than me, the asses I was staring [...]

COMMENTOTHONG: Rule Change!
You are forgiven, WOTers, for neglecting the nearly three months-old Commentothong contest. You remember that the last person to comment on that post was to win $25. And many of you have pointed out that the contest is not really fair. I admit, it was a dirty trick–to launch a practically-unwinnable competition. (Maybe that’s why [...]
