College Wrestler Dustin Carter Gets a New Set of Legs for Christmas

You know what’s fun? Having legs. No really, it is. And you might realize that if you didn’t have any.

 

 

Or if you didn’t have any and you wanted to be a wrestler.

 

 

Dustin Carter, a freshman at College of Mount St. Joseph, can understand the sentiment, since he had his legs amputated at age 5 after a bout with meningitis and has since bec...

The Top 10 Santas of the Century

The Top 10 Santas of the Century

I may be a little too old to believe in Santa Claus, but I definitely believe that all those sweet ole’ Santas we find in our malls during Christmas time are all truly unique and different. Though some children get the pleasure of sitting on a nice old man’s lap as they spit out gift wishes for under the tree, some also get the pleasure of recei...

Santa Claus Asks Congress For a Bailout to Save Christmas

Santa Claus Asks Congress For a Bailout to Save Christmas

With only two days to go before Christmas, a credible, yet wholly disheartening rumor has begun to swirl around the blogosphere that suggests the holiday may be canceled—if the United States Congress doesn’t act quickly.

 

Thanks to the economic downturn, Santa Claus can’t afford to pay his high-priced, unionized elves and fly his environment-fr...

Consumer Quest May Drive Me to Festive Felony, Christmas Shopping Craziness to Commence

Consumer Quest May Drive Me to Festive Felony, Christmas Shopping Craziness to Commence

I am currently mired in that epic conundrum plaguing modernity: the Wii supply and demand holiday hellhole. And no matter how many times I remind myself that I did indeed procrastinate on purchasing my brother a Christmas present, I am inordinately pissed. How could Nintendo do this to me? Why are there not more Wiis for sale? Are the manufactur...

The Worst People in America Celebrate Christmas

The Worst People in America Celebrate Christmas

Here we've got A Very Gansta Christmas, so that as bad as your family may be, you can be thankful that you don't have to spend the holidays with these mega d-bags. Not only are their voices like migraine incubators, their Christmas carol about food stamps and shanks isn't even funny so much as pathetic.

NORAD Protects America, Provides Santa Tracker

NORAD Protects America, Provides Santa Tracker

The North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) has a pretty important job: It protects all of North American from a surprise missile or an air attack. If anything suspicious makes an appearance in U.S. airspace, NORAD knows it.
 

And if that something suspicious just happens to be Santa’s sleigh, NORAD knows that too.
 

For five decades, N...

Bored at Home? Go Elf Yourself

Bored at Home? Go Elf Yourself

Penn’s finals ended today, which means that now everybody is home with not much to do. Sure, you can shop a bit with your mom, and see all your high school friends, and drive around your town in your old car…but that all gets boring in about three hours.

So what can you do when you’re lounging around your house in ripped sweatpants and your ret...

Keri Shryock Dies During Christmas Play, Falls 25 Feet

Keri Shryock Dies During Christmas Play, Falls 25 Feet

There are things we know are dangerous like drunk driving and loading squirt guns with gasoline by a fire. Then there are other things which are dangerous that we never consider, like acting in nativity plays. Last night, an Ohio woman named Keri Shryock was killed after falling twenty-five feet during a Christmas play.


MSNBC reports:

A Photo Compendium of College Ladies Under the Mistletoe

‘Tis the season for giving and receiving… kisses under the mistletoe.

 

Our gift to you, however, is a compendium of collegiate women taking advantage of this tried-and-true holiday tradition.

The Secularizing of Christmas! My Interview With Jesus Christ and Santa Claus

The Secularizing of Christmas! My Interview With Jesus Christ and Santa Claus

Christmas! The day to celebrate the birth of our Lord and savior, Jesus Christ. At least that's how it started. As many of you know, Christmas has become more or less a secular holiday in these United States. Seeing as how we don't have a national religion - and thank God for that (pun intended) - nobody has to celebrate Christmas, yet many of u...

WSU Tries to Take on Gangs with Red Fridays, the Spiritual Equivalent of Black Tuesday

Starting next week, it’s gonna be a real party at Washington State University every Friday. WSU Prez Elson S. Floyd has announced that every Friday will be “Crimson Fridays,” and no, he’s not referring to overly frequent menstruating, but to uberfun. The fun will be begotten by wearing the school colors, red and gray, every Friday. Oh la la!
