The Chloe Chronicles

Thursday, December 25th, 2008

No year-end retrospective (assuming I was going to do one) would be complete without a tribute to Chloe The Wonder Shih Tzu. She’s brought so much into our lives: crooked teeth, the ability to snore like a 300 lb. sailor, and best of all, a 3rd party to blame those sudden and (somewhat) offensive odors on.

What she looked like when we got her.

So in honor of the furry one with the incredibly bad breath, here are the top four Chloe photos of 2008!

Okay, this isn’t comedy but it’s cute as hell. Presenting newborn penguins from Sea World in Orlando.

Resolving Clogged Auras.

Monday, December 22nd, 2008

Turns out that the resolution I’ve made for the New Year is the #1 most common resolution made among Americans, the coveted 18-34 demographic, and comedy writers named Rob. That’s right; this year I resolve to never again let a man pin me to a table and violently twist my head around in circles so I end up looking like the girl from “The Exorcist.”
