Jesse Cohen, "Condoms" →
This is one of my favorite joketeller bios of the year.
Jesse Cohen’s son David writes, “Dad’s always had an interesting sense of humor. I was having a party in my backyard for my tenth birthday. He told me that my Cousin Susie came in for the occasion. I was confused; I didn’t even know I had a Cousin Susie. He informed me she was a distant relation and went to get her. Dad walked...

There was the time he ate the entire Christmas turkey, which we left on the kitchen countertop and then left for an hour while it settled. And there was the time he got drunk, the morning after a New Year’s party when we left him on the deck alone with several cups of unfinished hot buttered rum. Stories of him and photos of him were a regular feature of this here tumblr blog and my previous...

I thought the situation over. The solution was obvious: the forging of a will. How hard could it be? I had a notion—that white collar crime offered particular advantages for the criminal mind—the superior criminal mind—that I happened to possess—a legacy from my father.

ABC picks up rights to Mortified →
About fucking time! If you’re unfamiliar, Mortified is one of the more delightful live storytelling shows. It started in Los Angeles maybe 8 years ago and now tours a bunch of different cities.
