A couple of weeks ago, I bought tickets for two friends and I to hear David Sedaris read from some of his works. We arrived at the show and got seated with a few minutes to spare, only to find out that we were apparently really at Cedar Point. Confusion ensued. Let me explain. At [...]
The other day, Mama Furioso joined me as I took my dog for a walk. All that crazy makes her walk pretty fast, so MamaF is an ideal walking companion. All that crazy also makes her say awkward things, which makes it not so ideal. Observe: MF: Okay, so I’ve decided…I’m going to be honest [...]
It’s intervention time again, here on Snarkward Mountain. That magical time where we share goodness in snark and bring awakening to those in need. John-boy is on his way to town, and agreed to drop off this letter for me. Dear Awkward Groupie, You seemed like a normal college kid, at first, walking into the [...]
Today I had to go to the unemployment office. It’s not, as you might imagine, my favorite place. The chairs are stained, and there’s a weird smell. When I sat down, there was only one other person there, a woman a bit younger than me. After a bit, a larger gentleman huffed in and threw [...]

I just wanna take this opportunity to apologize for some unfortunate things which may have occurred at [...]
High school sucks; everyone knows this. Most people squirm when they think about it. Joss Whedon made a pile of money comparing it to hell. It’s the source of much anxiety and general suckitude. My freshman year of high school was as crappy as anyone else’s: I did and said the wrong things all the [...]
After weeks of racking my mindgrapes for something at least moderately amusing to share, I stumbled across something in the Furioso Vault that I hope you will all enjoy. So go grab a snack and prepare to read the tale of the most awkward human interaction I have ever witnessed. I can’t believe I almost forgot about this!
