omnium gatherum, n. : a collection of many different, often unsorted, ideas or items.

For your amusement


I sent out an email to most people I know last April with links to my favorite humour pieces from McSweeney's Internet Tendency. Every now and then, I go through my mailbox and re-read the ones I sent along. Unfailingly, every time, they make me laugh hysterically. I don't know why I never bothered to post them online, but I'm doing so now; enjoy. I hope you appreciate them as much as I do. As I wrote then, and it holds true still: these elicit the visceral and long-lasting pleasure and hilarity as any well-crafted New Yorker cartoon.
