Who knew that twenty-five years after the demise of Nick’s 70’s-era dance troupe, Lord Funk-O-More & The Electric Spank, a few of the old stage props would come in handy again. “These lights were part of my ‘robot’ solo,” Nick said over drinks at the office Christmas party. “I’d slip on the specs and start […]

Skiing may be the sport of kings, but it’s not without its dangers. Take for example poor young Donovan here, who’s been frozen solid in this position ever since he was overtaken by an avalanche on Paoli Peaks this weekend. We expect that he’ll thaw out to the point he can start getting some work

As a young nerdling, Sean knew very well what it was like to be tricked or cajoled into licking ice cold light posts in winter. That’s why as an adult he founded the National Tongue and Frozen Pole Awareness Network. “This is an especially tough time of year for geeks and spazzes,” he said. “Right

Accountancy is a second career for Pam. Previously she was founder and CEO of Collar & Leash Resources, an outsourcing agency that specialized in enlisting household pets for repetitive, light industrial tasks. After initial successes training dogs to sort recyclables and parakeets to stuff envelopes, the firm went bankrupt with a failed $26 million initiative

Here’s one for you history buffs: the last surviving garments made by Donna Karanina, the Mad Seamstress of St. Petersburg. These sweaters caused a riot when they were debuted in Moscow in 1622, during which the city was burned to the ground. Karanina fled with them to the more artistically enlightened city of Amsterdam, where

Our resident thespians, Jonathan and Brandon, weren’t here for our photo shoot this week. Luckily we were able to substitute this publicity shot for their two-man Christmas sweater-themed production of Shakespeare’s Two Gentlemen of Verona, which debuted off Broadway last year. The triumphant run followed their less-well-received interpretation of Romeo and Juliet, in which Jonathan
