There’s no reason why Digital Poodle, an 80s industrial band that’s been mostly dormant for 30 years, need to go this hard. After all, Trent Reznor is chasing EGOTs and working with Disney these days. And yet here we are.

What kind of birthday gift do you get a man who's impossible to buy for? That would be a dirty, game used, baby oil-covered man-thong from Michael Nakazawa, one of the Top 5 comedy wrestlers in the world, fished off the floor of the Rec Room by @fodderfigure.bsky.social during Mystery Wrestling #19.

I’m at the Evil Uno Mystery Wrestling show and I’ve already seen someone with a giant El Generico tattoo and someone else with a BA Johnston shirt. Feeling concerned these weirdos are my people.

Deep Fried Pizza Pizza. Surprisingly acceptable taste and price. Also, the Liquidation World booth has 50% off cash purchases for all clothing today.

From The Archives: Is Conor McGregor Living A Modern Day La Dolce Vita (Fightland, April 2016) | Sarah Kurchak Get more from Sarah Kurchak on Patreon

I've been writing for online publications since 2000. That means a lot of my work has been lost to the ravages of time, capitalism, and pivoting to video.

So I've decided to start posting some lost classics to my Patreon. Starting with this weirdly insightful shit post about MMA and... Fellini?

Sure it was against the 13th place (out of 16) team in our league, but it's really hard not to brag about having turned a triple play in my co-ed slow pitch game last night.
