Meatheads are universal

I don't know what it is about this week that I'm linking to other writers left and right, but I seem to have come across another hidden gem this afternoon. (OK, Klosterman wasn't so much hidden. Just a funny insightful dude I'd like to think I discovered on the early side.) The beauty of the Internet is that I have absolutely no idea how I clicked to this particular Website called The Phat Phree, and the next thing I know I'm taking a conference call on autopilot while reading an article on the perfect break-up mix tape that, again, I wish I'd written.

The guys behind The Phat Phree aren't on par with Klosterman in any way, shape or form - he's a seasoned journalist and professional author and they appear to be 3 dudes from Ohio who have some funny shit to say and aren't going to let a fundamental comprehension of the mechanics of the English language slow them down. That is to say, they're a bit less polished than our friend Klosterman, but offer commentary on everyday life in a way that vaguely channels his edginess. And yes, that's totally grasping at straws trying to make a connection for no reason. I just laughed out loud while reading some of their stuff, and thought it worth sharing. Anyone who makes a reference to elbowfucking commands instant respect...

They won me over with an introduction to the 5 meatheads you meet at the gym, an article that can be found here. If there's one thing in this world that's universal, it's meatheads. They're everywhere.

Nothing much else to say this afternoon - it's raining, I'm sick, and in 48 hours I'll be one year closer to 30. The combination has me in a reflective, introspective funk, complete with snot and coughs. It sucks. But at least I'm not a mini-meathead with a Napoleon complex and a 3 inch penis. Well, half of that's true anyway.

Enjoy the Phat Phree, more to come.
