Friesen’s Top Five List #22: Video Games

Praise be to the lord, Nicky Gifts has assigned me a slightly easier list today.  Yesterday’s list was what I would call “too damn hard.”  The idea was simple, but the actual compiling of the list required actual research and actual subtraction.  There will be no such research today.  Today I make the list of the [...]

The Day The Scrabble Died

So far, today is one of the top five saddest days of my life, and it’s only 9 AM.  I guess my mental state has been affected by recent events: the death of Estelle Getty, Kelsey Grammer’s hospitalization, the revelation that Obama is a test tube baby.  What I mean to say is that I [...]

The Truth About Barack, The Truth That The Infatuated Media Won’t Tell You

We’ve got a presidential election coming up, and you know what that means: I’ve got a bad case of political fever.

Why Don’t Inmates Make License Plates Any More?

Our society has some serious problems.  We’re at war, I guess.  Millions are unemployed, and even those that are employed are having trouble making ends meet with the rising gas prices starting to raise the prices of pretty much every other consumer good.  Thankfully, the good people at the Department of Motor Vehicles of Arkansas [...]

Friesen Point’s “Songs I Miss From Bands Who’ve Disappeared” #5: “What Would You Do?”

I was working on an assignment for my summer school class on women’s literature today, and I had a bit of a blast from my past.  The assignment was to make a playlist that told a story that relates to women.  I opted to tell the story of the depressing life [...]

July’s Friesen Point Cheers and Jeers!

Well, it’s the 23rd of the month, and we all know what that means: it’s time for this month’s Friesen Point Cheers and Jeers.  Damnit, I have got to come up with a better name for this bit.  Everyone’s got a Cheers and Jeers.  Alright, how about this: “Magna Cum Laudes” and “Shouldn’t Be Prouds.”  [...]

Friesen’s Top Five List #20: Male Pornstars

I think this would be as good a time as any to reiterate that I have no control over what I make these lists about.  I relinquished that control the moment I told Nicky Gifts to give me a daily assignment, and all I can do is dutifully complete said assignment or face failure, the [...]

Friesen’s Top Five List #19: Female Pornstars

Today, Nicky Gifts has, for the first time, assigned me a top five list that is right in my wheelhouse, but I don’t want to write.  Today, I have to make the list of the Top Five Female Pornstars.
Now, this is something, like any straight male, I have given a lot of thought to over [...]
