What we read while Tim Tebow cried…
- It’s been a while since we linked to any David Foster Wallace stuff, or any grammar staff (RIP Safire), but here’s a little of both: A former student of Wallace’s posted a brief Grammar Challenge on HTML Giant. If you think you know your stuff, try to get all 10; if you just want to skip to the answers, here they are; if you don’t think grammar is important (even after our repeated defenses of it), then read this.
- Ah, how quickly a joke can get old. I just can’t wait for Carlos Mencia to tackle Tiger Woods.
- If you still care about that whole Tiger thing, well, here’s the story by Esquire‘s Charles P. Pierce that helped transform Woods into sports’ most private superstar from back in 1997. Last week, Pierce re-examined Woods in light of these new, umm, revelations.
- Nos. 4, 28, and 49 are our favorites. What’s yours?
- We like Twitter and everything, but even we think this is excessive.
- We previously endorsed an evil billionaire in the race for mayor of New York City. Well, guess who was the top write-in candidate.
- If you thought John S took The Office to task back in September, well, he’s got nothing on Awl’s Meghan Keane, who calls the NBC comedy the “most depressing show on television.”
No Pun Intended

Larry David playing George Costanza whose character was based on Larry David is just plain hysterical. I love the reactions of Jerry and Elaine. If you watch closely Jerry goes out of character trying to refrain from laughing. At the end Elaine and Jerry non-verbally convey their dismay of Larry’s impersonation of George. This is priceless comedy that will make people laugh for decades, while Tim Tebow at some point will lose his virginity and stop crying. He will never make it as a QB in the NFL, maybe as tight end if he stops wearing “John 3:16” eye black. I understand he believes in the Lord, Jesus Christ, but if Jay Fieldler had worn eye black that said “Lox: with a schmear of cream cheese” under his eyes, I think there would be a large outcry from the far right.
