The 7-person PartyBike has got to be the dorkiest thing in the world…it’d be perfect on ElimiDate. But in the real world? Dorky. Between the log sawing and blackjack – what would I do? Log sawing. Cards and me just don’t get along. The closest I normally get to a poker hand is Wil Wheaton’s …

Anyone else catch WCCO 10pm Weather on Friday night? Mike wore a boring brown suit, held a big fat wired microphone in one hand, and a big fat wired graphics remote in the other. It’s like he was doing the weather from 1985. Bizarre. Over at KSTP, everything was discrete and wireless. Phew. I wasn’t …
