This Day In History: The Origins of Groundhog Day
February 26, 2010 by nick
Traditionally those in the United States and Canada associate Groundhog Day with February 2nd, and it consists of the eponymous animal emerging from his burrow and making a weather prediction. Unsurprisingly, the cultural roots of this North American holiday lie in their mother island of the U.K.
Indeed, to ancient Britons every February was a time for great speculation. The name of the holiday comes from the Norse term grisa, -de, -t — (1) What a sow does when she gets piglets. (2) To behave like a pig, typically in conjunction to a party. The residents of each village in Southwestern England near Wales would spend all of February holding rudimentary boxing tournaments amongst eligible young men. The worst fighter would then be put into a pit, unarmed, with the largest wild boar that the villagers could find.
The ensuing fight would have profound importance to the morale of the tribe. If the boar was victorious – as was overwhelmingly the case – the village would celebrate, and consider it a sacrifice to nature. The Britons believed that it would be the precursor for a strong growing season. On the very rare occasion that the poor fighter managed to subdue the boar, he would be given all of the alcoholic beverages in the village and told to dance until he passed out.
An amendment to the healthcare bill to bring back this tradition was proposed by a coalition of Democratic and Republican Congressmen and is the focus of Barack Obama’s Healthcare Summit. Proponents say it will help fix American crop yields, while opponents say it doesn’t do enough and should be far more extreme.

Guest Contributor: Kufta On The Dangers of Internet Dating
February 16, 2010 by nick
Friend of the cast has provided us with this chat transcript with an actual American college student. Names have been changed to protect the naive and the cynical. Commentary provided by our intrepid contributor, Kufta.
The Realities of Internet Dating
The following is a real conversation, held February 15th, 2010 over Facebook chat. The content of the conversation has not been altered in any way but the names have been changed for a host of legal and ethical reasons. The italicized text commentary after-the-fact.
Diane
u should try match.com
11:32am Jack
mmmmm, im not into the internet dating thing
tho i probably might as well
have you had any luck?
11:34am Diane
i went on a couple of dates that were ok i mean hey what do you have to lose a couple hours of your life.. I have a few dates this week and theres actually alot of quality people out there. – An interesting thesis.
11:35am Jack
do people go into the dates implicitly expecting sex?
11:35am Diane
of course not
11:35am Jack
thats always the feeling ive gotten from those plaaces
that the internet is some bubbling fuck-cauldron where degenerates gather to conceive their wretched hellspawn. – My counter-thesis.
11:36am Diane
its actually alot of professionals
11:36am Jack
yeah fair enough
11:37am Diane
alot of doctors and lawyers not sure hyou care about that though
11:37am Jack
no i def dont
11:37am Diane
wouldnt hurt to have a sugar momma thouh
11:37am Jack
thats a good point
11:37am Diane
though
lol
11:37am Jack
she goes to work at the law firm while i sit in my room doing drugs and writing songs
yes please
how about you Diane? on the lookout for that jewish doctor of your dreams?
11:38am Diane
nah cant marry a jewish doctor because everyone already expects me too. – J.A.P Alert
lol
11:39am Jack
so an indian doctor then?
perhaps a jewish banker?
let’s go right on down the list of stereotypes. How about a mexican wrestler?
chico loco is out there, waiting for YOU Diane.
no but seriously i wish you the best of luck on the whole match.com search thing. im obviously just fucking around. – Bait.
11:41am Diane
hahaha i know it makes m loaugh
laugh
i have an interesting story about this onee dude. – That didn’t take long. Perhaps this is one of those ‘quality people’ she was telling me about.
11:42am Jack
im listening
11:43am Diane
also im addicted to okcupid and match.com
i cant stop going on
this guy i met on there was into some freaky stuff
11:44am Jack
this sounds like the intro of the story
11:45am Diane
he was into enlarging genitials. – Ah, there it is.
11:45am Jack
what
he must have been fucking with you
11:45am Diane
check out this site
no he was dead serious
11:46am Jack
lol what site
is it going to horrify me?
11:47am Diane

graphic11:48am Jack

11:48am Diane

11:48am Jack
send away
ill watch it
11:49am Diane
it wont let me send the link
11:49am Jack
lol “THIS CONTENT IS TOO FUCKED UP FOR FACEBOOK.”
is it too much of a pain in the ass to type it?
11:52am Diane
www.kickasspussypump.com/pussy-pumps.php
11:52am Jack
jesus fucking christ
hahahahhahaha you just typed that into facebook chat
11:52am Diane
i warned you.
11:53am Jack
so what did he like about it?
was it him trying to tell you he had a big dick or something?
11:53amDiane
he said it makes girls more sensitive and he thinks it looks prettier – Remember what I said about degenerates?
i think its scary
11:53am Jack
‘normal vaginas are too small, i need an enlarged one or i cant fit hurr hurr’
yeah its fucking horrifying
so needless to say you pumped that shit up for him right
got out the old basketball inflator and went to town?
this pussypump thing is a comedy gold mine. i bet Andrea has like 5 of them already. There’s a much, much better story involving the girl mentioned here but it is for another time.
11:55am Diane
eww gross
i couldnt go through with it
11:55am Jack
holy shit it sounds like you considered it ahhahahaha
11:56am Diane
hahhaa
say it got stuck?
he also had a cock pump
he was a freak
11:57am Jack
say it didnt. say it went totally fine. you still inflated your pussy for the sexual gratification of some dude you met over the internet. That’s what would have happened
ahahhahaha im cracking up so hard right now
im at work too i gotta shut up this is bad
11:57am Diane
indeed gotta have some self respect right
ok ill talk to you later
11:58am Jack
hahaha no its ok, ill just stop laughing so hard
tho i am outta here in the next 5 minutes or so to get lunch
cock pump
man. did he bring it to your first date?
11:58am Diane
ok talk to you later
no lol
11:59am Jack
thats amazing. thats a great ‘tales from the internet dating service’ story right there Diane.The Moral of the Story: Internet Dating – Precisely as fucked up as dictated by conventional wisdom.

A Great Read
February 4, 2010 by nick
For those of our listeners who don’t listen at all, but in fact read, you should really check out Critelli’s latest two updates, beginning with Part One here. They are a true account of the mild mannered, polite Mike trying to navigate his way through a West Coast Bermuda Triangle of awful 80s pop culture and a childish imitation of Wall Street. I read the whole thing and was unhappy when I finished that there wasn’t any more to read.
