I noticed the blog because a couple of friends posted a link on how to have sex with a friend who has a boyfriend. It involves an intricate web of lies and trickery, beards and tanning beds, a fake wedding ring on your middle finger, and time travel. I found the article serious and funny at the same time. Hence, I read some older posts and was instantly hooked. This guy is brillant.

 

I love his deadpan humor—he delivers his punchlines with the gravity of a seven-year old telling you about a fairy castle in the attic. I love how his twisted logic, how he connects any number of concepts together into a coherent funny whole (like, novels, lizards, and Al Pacino). Most of all, I love how he seems to laugh at himself (and at us) whenever he writes something. It’s a quiet, private kind of laugh, and I like laughing with him.

 

PS - Apparently, the blog is made up of contributions from people around the world. Funny that, because the tone and style of each of them are similar, if not almost identical. 

 

Here’s the blog.
