My Daughter, the Nerd

by Ambertolina

Recently, at the recommendation of our dentist, it became necessary to take the daughter to the orthodontist. This did not surprise me, since the child is virtually my clone and I had to have extensive orthodontia work done. What did surprise me is how orthodontia has come along in the last twenty years.
It looks [...]

I Read Another Book (Youth in Revolt by C.D. Payne)

by Jason Edwards
Last Friday I finished Youth in Revolt by C.D. Payne. Now this is an exciting book because it’s the first in a series, the series has a movie based on it, the movies stars Michael Cera, and the books were self-published. The books are Nick Twisp’s journals, his adventures as a regular 14 [...]

Crossword Puzzles

by Jason Edwards
This will be a lame post with nothing ironic about it. I will break all of the rules I have self-imposed when it comes to writing for Wiffli. I will talk about myself, one of my interests, will not have a thesis, an easy to encapsulate conclusion, and I’ll probably mention food [...]

I’m Angry AND I Hate Myself!

by Ambertolina
So, Jason and I elected to throw up some Google Ads on this site because we’re greedy AND delusional. We’re hoping that you’ll love reading our humorous tales so much that you’ll tell your friends about Wiffli and they’ll tell their friends, and pretty soon, we’ll be making bucketloads of money off of a [...]

by Jason Edwards

“Oh my god, what’s V-Fib? It’s sound like the name of a [...]

Towel Day

by Jason Edwards
It’s Towel Day. I’m supposed to write about towel day but I have writer’s block. Sort of. I mean I can write, and will, for hours if you like. Will it be interesting? Well, why is that important, god damn it. Fine then, no it won’t. Stop reading right now. Go read Salon [...]

Co-inky-dink?

Bill Heder as Custer in “Night at the Museum” and Ted “the Nuge” Nugent.

Open The Box

by Jason Edwards
I’m not one for pandering to corporations, although my editing credo here at Wiffli is “no shame.” So I’m going to talk about a different web site for a bit, since I am enamored of them and want you to be enamored as well. If you already know all about Pandora, skip this [...]

Back on the Weight Watchers Wagon

by Jason Edwards
If you’re like me, you like to eat. Cheeseburgers are your secret mistress, but you don’t discriminate, and any ol’ pizza, sub, taco, or pile of chow fun will do. You’re a multicultural Don Giovanni and the food court down at the mall is your seraglio.
Then again, you don’t have to be [...]
