  • What I Learned About Italians from 10 Days in Naples

    Their local motto is, “If you can drive in Napoli, you can drive in Hell.” At the outdoor cafés, pigeons are smarter than waiters. The pizza really is 10 times better. Pulcinella is either good luck, bad luck, an evil clown or a sex god, depending on whom you ask. Napoli is full of budding…

  • What I Learned from Movies, XV: Cop-Out Answers

    One thing I really hate? Unacceptable answers to cover a weak plot or to justify why a character can do a certain thing.

  • People Who Need to Go Far, Far Away

    People who hit their brakes inexplicably when nothing is in front of them and they aren’t speeding. People who use douchebag words like ‘braggadocious’ and ‘YOLO’ in everyday speech. The inventors of Powerpoint, Jeggings, Crocs and UGGs. The creators of ‘Call of the Wildman’, ‘Hillbilly Handfishing’ and other white trash train wrecks. Professionals who say,…
