Fortune Cookie Crooky
It’s good to be the weatherhuman. Not only do you get to say whatever the hell you want to 20,000 people (well, let’s be honest: 2,000,000 people), you get to be in control of the weather.

Brake for Slippery Sex
Foreplay? Fore-PLEASE. If I run across one more kid who thinks it is proper etiquette to just stick it in, I’m going to scream. Why can’t we be more like the French – a minimum of three orgasms before penetration? I’d even settle for the four hours of begging that Jewish foreplay entails. Anything would be better than the Isla Vista buildup of five beer bongs and the eventual letdown after four minutes of disinterested bouncing.

Sitting, Waiting, Wishing
I was sitting on the bus the other day and heard some young women from Ohio complaining about the California weather – they said they missed the seasons. At first, I thought they were crazy.

But they had me thinking about seasons and I realized that they might be onto something. I, too, miss a season – basketball season.
Students Urged to Bring Out Their Vote
