Clearly The Wonderland of Knowledge gets it right when it goes outside and looks at nature. It has crazy captions for every bird, tree or animal that personifies it in some odd way. If you cycle through those entries I’ve written, each one seems to end with me flabbergasted at how insane the next entry is. Here’s what [...]

How I Could Be Tricked Into Watching “Bride Wars”
April 27th, 2009 · 3 Comments
Now, let me begin by saying I am 100% not in the demographic intended to go out and buy “Bride Wars” on DVD tomorrow. However, there are some things that could be changed that would make me watch this film. For example, here is the current poster for the movie: And here is a version [...]

The Wonderland of Knowledge – “Lacrosse”
April 22nd, 2009 · No Comments
The reason that The Wonderland of Knowledge went out of business may be it’s totally lack of unbiased reporting. We first saw this a few weeks ago in the encyclopedia’s entry on “Hitler.” And now Wonderland shows its true colors once again: Come on, encyclopedia! First you call Hitler “a modern Caesar” and now lacrosse is [...]

I don’t smoke pot, nor do I write parody songs, but if I did both of these things, the name of my band would be “Matchbox 420.” Related: Does anyone know how to mail jokes to Jay Leno in 1999?

The Wonderland of Knowledge – “Deer”
April 15th, 2009 · 1 Comment
If any of you are following me over at Twitter, you know that I love puns. However, and I find this a little surprising, as I read through The Wonderland of Knowledge, it would seem that there is nothing that will infuriate me as much as a stupid pun in this book. I don’t know [...]

“Shoot the Moon” Felix Runwald – July 1969
April 10th, 2009 · No Comments
Once again we dive into the archives from the incredibly prolific career of travel author/journalist Felix Runwald. Runwald’s work, unfortunately, has been uncollected, due to the fact that it would be nearly impossible to do so (it spans from the early twenties to today). In this installment, I have selected Runwald’s New York Times Op/Ed [...]

Larry Flynt, Joe Francis and the Other Worst Team-Ups of All Time!
April 3rd, 2009 · No Comments
The following post was originally written as a writing submission for the humor blog for a popular cable television show. After submitting this work the parent company subsequently initiated a hiring freeze and let go of many of their staffers. Basically, that’s why it’s so dated and pop-culture-y. I still think it’s funny though. Look [...]

The Wonderland of Knowledge Wednesdays – “Cockatoos”
April 1st, 2009 · 1 Comment
Before I begin, this website will not have an April Fool’s prank. Also, me saying that there will be no prank is not a prank. And now I will continue with what I had planned on doing: speaking to a set of encyclopedia from the sixties as if it were a human being. Look, Wonderland [...]
