How To Be The Worst Host At A Poetry Slam Or An Open Mic
Posted by John on Tuesday, January 29, 2008 (01:56:23)
So you want to host a poetry slam or an open mic that only does poetry (because the world doesn't need another music open mic). That's awesome. If you want to learn about being a good host, go read The Complete Idiot's Guide To Slam Poetry. (In fact, buy a copy. Make sure you blow off the dust thoroughly since your copy probably sat in a warehouse for months because the general public only wants guides that are useful and offer the potential profit). If you want to learn how to be a horrible host, keep reading.

Where's My Money?
Posted by John on Tuesday, November 27, 2007 (22:11:00)
Sorry for the lateness of the column. Between the Thanksgiving holiday (which entailed pork, flan, and strippers w/nipple tape (so sad, so sad indeed) and getting ready to shack up with the missus, nothing else was coming to mind to talk about - until yesterday.

Direct Your Pitchforks And Torches Here
Posted by John on Sunday, November 04, 2007 (02:18:51)
I was the Around the World Champion of my fifth grade class. Around the World, for those who never played, works like this: one person is “it”. The “it” walks over to a seated student. Once the “it” stands next to a seated student, the teacher asks a math problem (such as 24 * 12). When the “it” gets the problem correct, he moves on to the next student. When the seated student gets the math problem correct, then she becomes “it” and moves on to the next student. The student who makes it around the classroom furthest won; I was the only person to make it around the world.
