Bill Wallace died
If you grew up in Oklahoma or Texas, where Sequoyah or Bluebonnet Award winners had their own special shelf in the school library, then you’ve probably read Bill Wallace’s books.
They have titles like Trapped in Death Cave, Danger in Quicksand Swamp and Snot Stew. There are murder mysteries, cursed treasures and pets that make you a better person with their noble, unselfish love. Seriously, if...

OK State Bill Outlaws Using Fetuses in Food... →
Fun Fact: All Oklahomans are not morons, no matter what our elected officials would have you believe.
Bonus Fun Fact: The story first written about by OSU’s O’Colly editor-in-chief/my former babysitting charge Trent Sperry, a wonderful example of a non-moronic Okie.

Here is our interview we did for FOX5 news in Vegas. It’s scary how professional we we’re.
EDIT: The formatting of their embed doesn’t work well with Tumblr, so you should watch it here.

Some friends of mine have started a TV festival that kicks off in Austin on June 1. They’ve already got a lot of great creators and stars on board for what promises to be a really fun celebration of TV (screenings, panels, live musical performances, me shamelessly hitting on the cast of “Friday Night Lights”…)
Check out the announcement on TVGuide.com (fancy, right?) and...

Christ climbed down, by Lawrence Ferlinghetti
Christ climbed down
from His bare Tree this year and ran away to where there were no rootless Christmas trees hung with candycanes and breakable stars

AN INTERVIEW WITH KEVIN MCCALLISTER ON THE 20TH YEAR ANNIVERSARY OF HIS ABANDONMENT
by Bebe Ballroom
He is forty minutes late. The pigeons in Central Park have taken the seat on the bench next to me. His hot chocolate is cold chocolate now. My phone buzzes and sends the pigeons scattering….

Our office supply salesguy is a national treasure
Guy: I hope everyone's having a happy holiday.
Me: You too.
Guy: Happy and healthy. That's key.
Me: Yes... We don't actually need any office supplies today.
Guy: Well I'll have my cell phone on me if you need anything at all... I've been out of the office for a few days... Sick...
Me: Oh I'm sorry. Feel better.
Guy: Thanks. Yeah, my wife got the stomach flu on, let's see... Saturday? And then I got some intestinal thing. My stomach's just been awful ever since.
Me: Aw, well that stinks.
Guy: Stinks is right.
On the creepy scale this, is in between The Legend Tale of Klaus Santva and How the Grinch Touched Christmas. Hurrah!

This never would have happened if Buddy and Pedro had Leslie Knope in their lives.

Buddy’s new girlfriend: I know he broke up with his ex really recently, and I’m sure there are still some feelings there. But there are always feelings after a breakup, even years later. You might pass a certain iceberg or puddle and feel a pang of longing, but that doesn’t translate into...

Breaking Dawn? More like Breaking Awesome!
I’m not here to tell you how great the Twilight books are.
(But, for real, they’re fantastic. The trick is to read superfast, ignore stuff like Edward wearing a sleeveless dress shirt and that allegedly being sexy, and have another friend read them at the same time so you have someone to cackle with when you get to Breaking Dawn and shit goes NUTS.)
The movies, though chock-full of...
