After spending a lifetime befuddled by things like the shotgun formation and the Icky Shuffle, Tandori is now a devout NFL fan, staying up all night catching games while he's in Tokyo, London, or wherever his shady business takes him. He's even joined our fantasy football league, deftly managing his team to a current 10th place position (out of 14 teams). Recently, Tandori inquired how much it would cost to buy an NFL team - because... Read Full Story

There are lots of Blackberry haters out there. I'm not one of them. I have both a Palm Centro for personal shadiness and a Blackberry Curve that I use for work. While it's bulkier than many PDA's out there, I find it perfect for sending out scathing emails on the fly. Crew Member Tandori hates his "Crackberry" since it constantly reminds him of the...gasp...work he has to do once in a while to fund all his five-star vacations. The worst haters out there are all the Apple fanatics who... Read Full Story

Fascism sucks. That's why we're dead-set against the anti-smoking nazis who have made it damn near impossible to smoke a fine cigar anywhere outside of your own bathroom (and we're sure they're working on legislation to try to stop that as well).
