Well, Carr did most of the heavy lifting.

EMBRACE THE BEAR

Posted by: Balk on July 24, 2008 12:42 PM

un1mpressed: No, this has been in the works for quite some time.

Posted by: Balk on July 22, 2008 12:48 PM

Man, you're a tough sell. What DOES 1mpress you?

Posted by: Balk on July 22, 2008 12:01 PM

I'm the anti-Curly, so probably.

Posted by: Balk on July 22, 2008 10:15 AM

I always thought I projected a humble sense of inflated self-worth. Sigh.

Posted by: Balk on July 18, 2008 1:04 PM

What would I do with out you? Apart from "have a much less cluttered inbox."

Posted by: Balk on July 17, 2008 5:47 PM

Also, if you're scoring at home, it's /span.

Posted by: Balk on July 17, 2008 11:17 AM

Jesus, we suck. Fixing now, thanks.

Posted by: Balk on July 17, 2008 11:11 AM

I just wish people wouldn't blame the dolphins. It's not their fault that they're so damn attractive.

Posted by: Balk on July 15, 2008 9:23 AM

Only the tumors!

Posted by: Balk on July 15, 2008 8:22 AM

@Talie: You don't know the HALF of it.

Posted by: Balk on July 15, 2008 7:13 AM

All are welcome! Please, continue!

Posted by: Balk on July 15, 2008 5:37 AM

One exclamation mark per comment, please. But feel free to use lots of exclamation marks.

Posted by: Balk on July 14, 2008 5:53 PM

Some folks have written to say that NonSociety seems to be down. I recommend refreshing this page and clicking to the link to it again. If that doesn't work, just keep refreshing. It's totally worth it.

Posted by: Balk on July 14, 2008 4:02 PM

You're SO WELCOME!

Posted by: Balk on July 2, 2008 7:08 AM

Yeah, but it's not so bad when it's not all coming at you at once.

Posted by: Balk on July 1, 2008 6:16 PM

Yes, that's it, suggest more. I'll make Choire go back and add them in, one by one. It's what he deserves.

Posted by: Balk on July 1, 2008 5:38 PM

Shit. i forgot to mention "old." I also used the word "enjoy" twice in the same sentence there. I really need to go home.

Posted by: Balk on June 27, 2008 3:11 PM

I will hurt you.

Posted by: Balk on June 27, 2008 12:26 PM

I guess your congressperson? I'm skeptical that it would make any difference.

Posted by: Balk on June 27, 2008 11:35 AM

I'm calling my book And the Liver Says, "Ouch"

Posted by: Balk on June 26, 2008 5:46 PM

@jolie: Yeah, it even hurts to type.

Posted by: Balk on June 26, 2008 11:19 AM

As the world's hairiest man, I cannot tell you how depressing that comment is. Still, even I agree that no one wants to see my matted fur and cleavage.

Posted by: Balk on June 26, 2008 9:52 AM

Oh, come on, he's ADORABLE.

Posted by: Balk on June 24, 2008 4:05 PM

Good point, Craig! Of course, both those people are, you know, ALIVE.

Posted by: Balk on June 22, 2008 11:31 PM

Holy shit, I had no idea I was working for Blender! I'm never going to be free of Tyler, am I?

Posted by: Balk on June 20, 2008 12:25 PM

No, Liz did it just to hurt you. Particularly the self-titled one.

Posted by: Balk on June 20, 2008 10:44 AM

Own it, Katiebakes! Own it!

Posted by: Balk on June 18, 2008 2:25 PM

I KNOW! I laughed my ass off when this one came in.

Posted by: Balk on June 18, 2008 11:38 AM

And don't forget to check out the gallery!

Posted by: Balk on June 18, 2008 9:07 AM

The answer to both questions is "the literary value." Thanks for reading!

Posted by: Balk on June 18, 2008 9:07 AM

We would have had it earlier, but it took a lot of time to boldface all the names.

Posted by: Balk on June 17, 2008 7:03 PM

See above. Also, I don't think anyone's blaming the Clintons for this, just the hard-core supporters who can't let go.

Posted by: Balk on June 16, 2008 9:16 AM

God, if only someone were actually EDITING today. I'll fix it now, thanks.

Posted by: Balk on June 13, 2008 12:32 PM

I'm more amused by the assumption that, because the Hulk is green, his pants should be green.

Posted by: Balk on June 13, 2008 10:37 AM

I think that's why we're trying to spread it around the world.

Posted by: Balk on June 13, 2008 9:34 AM

But doesn't eating babies give him strength? That might undermine the Democrats' plan to paint him as too old.

Posted by: Balk on June 12, 2008 1:27 PM

Just teens? I'm pretty sure The Bible had a passage about how Methuselah, even in his declining years "could not abide to deprive himself of a tight kitty."

Posted by: Balk on June 11, 2008 10:03 PM

We can't afford him. And he's SUCH a pain in the ass to work with.

Posted by: Balk on June 11, 2008 6:39 AM

I knew I'd get some kind of spanking for that. I told you, I'm out of practice. I haven't touched this kind of thing in months.

Posted by: Balk on June 10, 2008 6:56 PM

Really? I was kicking myself for not just going with another video of Denise Richards in the shower.

Posted by: Balk on June 10, 2008 2:48 PM

Seriously. I'm saving up for a Southern Style chicken sandwich.

Posted by: Balk on June 10, 2008 12:29 PM

The "tell bother" thing was TOTALLY the editor's fault. I'd fire him, but, you know, I really need the job.

Posted by: Balk on June 10, 2008 11:00 AM

Can someone tell me what the fuck the dude in the first comment was saying?

Posted by: Balk on June 9, 2008 5:34 PM

Obviously they think it's because the articles are too long.

Posted by: Balk on June 9, 2008 2:33 PM

TOO SOON!

Posted by: Balk on June 9, 2008 10:48 AM

If I had that kind of money I'd hire Choire full time.

Posted by: Balk on June 6, 2008 3:33 PM

Jesus, if I were actually trying today I probably could have worked that Who reference into the headline. Thanks, Karen.

Posted by: Balk on June 5, 2008 3:45 PM

You mean it isn't already?

Posted by: Balk on June 4, 2008 4:42 PM

Man, that's an unwieldy headline.

Posted by: Balk on May 30, 2008 11:04 AM

Dear Genius,

The point was how outrageous the Wired connection between Kennedy and herpes was. But clearly you're way too busy dealing with what seems to be intensive and searching research into different types of herpetic syndromes to have time for anything as simple as "reading comprehension." But thanks for commenting!

Posted by: Balk on May 23, 2008 6:19 PM

Well said, teambooberry! Thanks for sharing.

Posted by: Balk on May 23, 2008 11:35 AM

Also, I know that stories about folks "mailing back the keys" are highly exaggerated, so let's consider Rep. Richardson a trend-setter.

Posted by: Balk on May 21, 2008 3:44 PM

Neel doesn't actually READ Radar.

Posted by: Balk on May 7, 2008 4:24 PM

Well, there's no arguing with logic like that. Thanks for the diagnosis!

Posted by: Balk on May 5, 2008 1:19 PM

Sadly, Arwen777 (and the other 776 Arwens who might be tempted to comment), I am not a 17 year old boy. I do promise that when I was I was just as twisted, sick of a f%&k, which I think makes it better?

Posted by: Balk on May 5, 2008 12:58 PM

Uh, for the record, I was out drinking lunch when this item was written and edited. I do not support or endorse the link to the personal blog within.

Posted by: Balk on May 1, 2008 4:42 PM

And, yes, I am aware that "shammier" is not a word.

Posted by: Balk on April 18, 2008 12:06 PM

I totally get it: Only Democrats think Tiger Woods is a hero.

Posted by: Balk on April 9, 2008 5:24 PM

You haven't known poignancy until you've walked by Neel's cubicle and heard him quietly singing "Everything Was Beautiful At The Ballet" to himself, a half-formed tear in the corner of his eye.

Posted by: Balk on April 9, 2008 1:56 PM

Yeah, yeah, but how much would it cost for US to do it?

Posted by: Balk on March 31, 2008 2:06 PM

And everyone knows Mexicans love Morrissey. For some reason.

Posted by: Balk on March 27, 2008 5:39 PM

Which one, First or Second?

Posted by: Balk on March 27, 2008 9:24 AM

Nah. Ideally we'd like to hear from Neel, but he's probably busy. Possibly impregnating someone.

Posted by: Balk on March 26, 2008 9:33 PM

Also in the IMpregnating area. If you know what I mean. (And I mean the part that Neel uses to impregnate all those women with. If that's actually what he does.)

Posted by: Balk on March 26, 2008 7:21 PM

That's just the jhorts.

Posted by: Balk on March 26, 2008 6:54 PM

Which isn't to say that he couldn't. I mean, I don't know what he does in his spare time. I just don't want it to seem like, you know, Neel Shah is some kind of serial impregnator.

Posted by: Balk on March 26, 2008 4:59 PM

Not to say that Neel has ever impregnated anyone.

Posted by: Balk on March 26, 2008 4:58 PM

And not in the "get someone pregnant" way that that sounded.

Posted by: Balk on March 26, 2008 4:57 PM

We should start a "NeelNailed" meme.

Posted by: Balk on March 26, 2008 4:56 PM

Neel? Is that really you?

Posted by: Balk on March 26, 2008 4:47 PM

You think so, but be very afraid: they're coming after all of us.

Posted by: Balk on March 25, 2008 10:26 AM

Come on. She was great in Freaky Friday.

Posted by: Balk on March 21, 2008 12:44 PM

@Typhoon20: I think if you read carefully, you'll find that the above quote comes from MSNBC, which is not us. Thanks for reading!

Posted by: Balk on March 18, 2008 5:01 PM

@emo: That is WRONG ON SO MANY LEVELS.

Posted by: Balk on March 6, 2008 9:41 AM

@jolie: Sorry, transcription error. Fixed, thanks.

Posted by: Balk on March 5, 2008 4:02 PM

When marrying Pam Anderson is a crime, only criminals will marry Pam Anderson.

Posted by: Balk on February 27, 2008 9:30 AM

Sure, but who do you think should play him on SNL?

Posted by: Balk on February 21, 2008 6:02 PM

Our fault. We all got drunk at lunch today!

Posted by: Balk on February 21, 2008 4:29 PM

Jenjermax,

I'm sure you'll enjoy our March feature "Peanuts: The Silent Snack Mix Assassin." Thanks for reading!

Posted by: Balk on February 13, 2008 11:11 AM

Oh, we're way ahead of you.

Posted by: Balk on February 13, 2008 9:42 AM

But Mike Huckabee must be all a-giggle. Dude has seriously earned himself the veep slot.

Posted by: Balk on February 7, 2008 12:30 PM

Dave Grohl, goddamn it!

Posted by: Balk on February 5, 2008 11:11 AM

Also "Amy." I mean, c'mon, too easy.

Posted by: Balk on January 24, 2008 5:10 PM

Totally! Also please click on the ads.

Posted by: Balk on January 16, 2008 10:16 AM

Yoko, thanks for reminding me! Stay tuned for my reviews of the Holy Bible, cowboy hats, a nuclear bomb, and the George W. Bush presidency. Also the movie Dr. Strangelove!

Posted by: Balk on January 15, 2008 3:41 PM

The ad above was far wittier than the item below it, but thanks for the kind words.

Posted by: Balk on January 15, 2008 3:02 PM

I should deny a body this beautiful to anyone just because of outdated notions of morality? It would be criminal.

Posted by: Balk on December 6, 2007 3:37 PM

You people need to get lives. Also, my feet are FANTASTIC.

Posted by: Balk on December 6, 2007 3:07 PM

I'd like to snort me some Alex Balk.

Posted by: Balk on December 6, 2007 1:32 PM

That's exactly what Denton said.

Posted by: Balk on November 30, 2007 4:22 PM

Concur with moneycashhos on the level of priggishness.

Posted by: Balk on November 15, 2007 11:20 AM

Sorry. We have trouble telling all those old Jews apart.
