A Man Minus a Necktie: A Very Brief History of Ties and a Longer History of Why I Hate Them
My anti-confrontational nature began at birth. Most kids cry when ripped from the womb. I shrugged. So when, during my first post-college agency job, I was prepping for a face-to-face meeting with a client that, for lack of a more tactful way of stating this, hated my company’s fucking face, I was nervous. My palms […]

In Lieu of Emo I Listened to the Metroid Theme
I came into existence like a video game, specifically the way Samus Aran, heroine of the Metroid series, came into existence.

Would you ruin a child’s Christmas on purpose?

Caleb J. Ross and Gordon Highland explore the concept of ruining Christmas for children and even offer a few how-tos.

Would you eat another human being?
In this very first episode of Important Question? we ask, under what circumstances would you be enticed into eating the flesh of another human being? Cannibalism isn’t common and it certainly isn’t culturally accepted in most areas of the world, but surely you could be convinced, right?
Caleb J. Ross and Gordon Highland explore possible scenarios that might support having a bite or two of a fellow human being. One part peer pressure + one part devil’s advocate = one very Important Question?
