It wasn’t always this way. A hot-ticket night out used to be just that – a whirligig of wide-eyed spontaneity laced with the pixie dust of giggle fits and carefree crescendos – and it usually ended with something said, forgotten and buried facedown in the blackout pillow next to a broken-toothed smile.

Forgotten Cartoon Characters Deserve Sleazy Opportunities, Toonew
Companies are reviving the most parent-safe of the nation's dormant characters to reanimate as sexed-up zombies for today's savvier character-consuming pre-adults. But why not dig up the cartoon has-beens, revive them, and present them as they've become -- they're a cheap get, bound to make the corporations a few bucks.

I’ve often wondered out loud to myself while naked and submerged in the warmth of my bubbly decompression chamber, “Self, how many times does the shampoo mean when it says in somewhat uncertain terms, ‘Lather. Rinse. Repeat’?” Two times borders on half-yawned monotony. Six times starts to burn a little, while psychologically producing a mechanical sense of beauty slavery. But 17 times? That’s enough to make you old, make you lose your hair, quite possibly make you drip down the drain in a self-inflicted goo of bloody foam. Do. Not. Want.

Married? Then Do Not Read This Columnnew
Due to circumstances beyond my control, I've been communicating with a lot of divorced people lately. I've read tons of books on the sociology, psychology, morality and religiosity of the process, and I have come to the unfortunate conclusion that nobody knows a goddamn thing about marriage.
