American Dicks
So I promised that I would write about dicks.
And I am a man who keeps his word.
I know Matt already touched on Anthony’s Wiener (Gaaaay). But I’ve always prided myself on being able to accomplish the level of insight and humor Matt displays in four paragraphs by writing about forty.
Besides, what I have to say about dicks goes way deeper than Anthony Wiener. Read the rest of this entry
Rapture
So this is the last post on Nonstop Karate.
I feel strange being the one writing it. I’ve only been contributing to the blog for a short while, and it would seem more fitting for Matt or Chad to pen the closing chapter. Still, if the world has got to end, it might as well end in Action Movie May, right? Read the rest of this entry
So Long Superman
So I’m not really getting along with the other Nonstop Karate contributors right now since I refused to take part in their plan to use the blog to launch their vanity albums.
Think Phil Collins, but employing elaborate metaphors comparing romantic love with what it means to be an X-man
The Passion of the Easter Sandwich
“He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: Drinking whiskey and eating hell of Easter Sandwiches.”
-Matthew 28:6
Hello, avid readers. I’d like to take a break from strange character pieces and half-baked political commentary to share something with you.
My favorite game to play with this picture is the game of "Which one is the worst". Try it.
What the F–k: A Literary/Film Analysis of Popeye
So I’ve been thinking a lot lately. Having graduated from Indiana University with a degree in philosophy, that’s pretty much all I’m qualified to do, really.
Still, you would think that with my having been so deeply steeped in the arts and exhaustively educated in the classics that my intellectual life would be concerned with puzzling out some intractable problem of metaphysics or in dreaming up post-post-modern approaches to ancient philosophical dilemmas. But no.
I’ve been thinking about Popeye.
Remembering Brian Jacques: A Murderable Feast
So Brian Jacques passed away last week- Saturday the 5th to be precise.
Liverpool Hooligan
To those unfamiliar with his work, Jacques authored the novel Redwall along with the many many sequels, prequels, and spinoffs. Enjoying publishing and distribution almost as prolific as his writing, Jacques wrote his books largely for young adults. Their popularity ensured that the setting and characters of Redwall became a nontrivial contributor to the collective imagination of my generation. I myself came to the book as a child, and it remains a fondly remembered piece of my early life.

The Economy: Explained (and not boring)
Editor’s Note: We were happy to bring Adam Kornya on as a writer for NK, but knew he is smarter than us. This scared us. But he’s reigned it in for us, not you. You guys is smart. We is dumb. So thanks, Adam.
So I just finished rereading Alan Greenspan’s “The Age of Turbulence”.
I’ve got Hungry Eyes. I feel the magic between you and I.
I read it when it first came out, thought it was tolerable for something by a dude who thought Ayn Rand had the right idea, then shelved it until the context in which I could read it again in true retrospect had solidified. Published in 2007, it’s essentially half biography and half utterance of giddy surprise that the US and world economy didn’t collapse in the wake of 9/11 in 2001, and about how the American economy is a resilient machine that can handle any catastrophe and roll with any punch.
