This is my first post with the website Talk Nerdy With Us. Really it’s my second, but the first one hardly counts because I had to acknowledge the existence of Miley Cyrus in it. If you’re a good person, you will click here and look at this. If you’re not, that’s fine. We can’t all […]
Dear Everyone in the World (with a few exceptions), Wow! Another Christmas has come and gone. I think we can all agree 2012 was a great holiday season full of Christmas spirit. First, I would like to thank my elves. As always, the boys in the factory worked their little tiny elven tushies off. As […]
DEAR NATHAN: My husband wears a hairpiece. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look very real. Nearly every time we are in a public place, I notice somebody staring or laughing at it. I have talked to him about it only a couple of times, but each time he tells me how attached he is to it and […]
DEAR NATHAN: My friend left a plant for me to take care of while she was out of town. The plant died. Do I replace the plant? — NO GREEN THUMB IN LUBBOCK, TEXAS DEAR NO GREEN THUMB: Before we get to the question at hand, I have to ask you: do you know why […]
In 1996, a great fad took overAmerica. It was bigger than the Beatles, more important than any cultural item had ever been.

Dear Santa Claus, How are you? You may not remember me. I’m the one who left cookies and milk out for you last Christmas. I know a lot of people do that, but my cookies were really good. I wasn’t one of those jerks who left out Chips Ahoy and pretended they were doing you […]
I’m not ashamed to admit that I’m a very big fan of the Christmas season. What’s not to like? You get presents, people at least try to be nice to each other, and fat old men are revered instead of ridiculed. It sounds like pure bliss to me. Unfortunately, this season has a dark underbelly […]
It seems like just yesterday we were devouring turkey and pumpkin pie. In fact, some of you may have just woken up from your Thanksgiving Day coma. I’m sure you’re dizzy and disoriented and probably smell pretty bad. A 25 day nap will do that to you. While you’re trying to get adjusted to the […]
Most nightmares cannot come true. It’s impossible. The odds of the shark from Jaws chasing you down the street while you are trying to find your pants so you can get to your advanced Sociology final, a class you’ve never even been to, by the way, are very slim. There is one nightmare that people […]
