#PowerRankings A lot of holidays have this cycle where they’re fun when you’re a little kid, then they become more transactional as a teenager (“Hey adult, just gimme the candy/presents.”), then they become an excuse to dress up and get drunk. Then in your 30s they become this obligation that you have to spend money/travel/see… Continue reading 2021 Power Ranks – Week 8
It's Halloween! Time for some terrible sexy costumes. Except not. Well, I mean there are some truly terrible costumes out there. They're all bad, but not offensively bad like previous years. When I first started doing this, I would have trouble whittling the pile down to 12. There were just so many terrible, weird, awful… Continue reading 2021 Power Ranks – Week 7

I was out to brunch with some friends recently and we started discussing Halloween and, specifically, trick-or-treaters. BoomBoom and I live at the end of a dead end street, so we don’t get any trick-or-treaters, which is a little sad, because since moving from New York City, we enjoy leaning into those domesticated traditions. “Children… Continue reading 2019 PowerRankings – Week 8

I was sick this week. There's nothing more fun than being sick on the weekend of Halloween. "What are you dressing up as this year?" My bed. As my symptoms got worse and worse, I started to wonder which ones I hated more. This got me thinking about PowerRanking symptoms of being sick. Without further… Continue reading 2017 Power Ranks – Week 8
Me and the old lady took a trip to IKEA this past weekend. Going to IKEA is a scary proposition because it’s a labyrinth designed to keep you inside and give you Stokholm syndrome (pun intended) into wanting all the shit they sell. Oooh look this lamp is only $3.50! I feel like we could… Continue reading 2017 Power Ranks – Week 7
I woke up Tuesday morning after Labor Day and felt the familiar feeling of “well summer is over, back to school* and time for fall.” It was instantly depressing. It made me want to write a post where the gist was basically: “Fuck Fall”. But then I got home from work that day, and the… Continue reading 2017 Going-into-the-SZN PowerRanks
Happy Halloween motherfuckers! Halloween, a time when adults get to dress up and get drunk. A time when lazy guys can put a red sox hat and say, “I’m Big Papi”. A time when those really creative people can put in like two weeks of work, sewing their own costume and then show everyone else up… Continue reading Week 8 Power Rankings
