Rose's column will be just like his TV show: a Rose monologue.

Lapham's an idiot. It's a trick question because your caddy hands you that 7-iron, or as it was called when Lewis graduated Yale, a "mashie-niblick."

That quote is why the CIA sucked through the Cold War and beyond, well that and James Jesus Angleton.

maybe so, but Mother wasn't their problem. Their failed sense of clubbiness might have been a bigger part.

as a 2007 Heeb 100'er, I will tell you the defining moment for me was when Heeb's Dreidel Hustler and I were tripping during Coney Island's last Mermaid Parade and concocted a master plan to get quintessential Jew Fyvush Finkel to do a spread.

Days later after his agent was contacted, it was learned that Mr. Finkel is very hardcore in his Orthodox ways and is allergic to the technology involved in photo shoots or some shit :[]

Having said that, they did let me design a lil' funtimes Flash game for them..

What a coincidence! These are exactly the sorts of things that the banks have been saying just before they join the choir invisible.

And this clip has become handy. (Substitute "Heeb" for "parrot.")

I'm sure that many other people have made this point in the past, but Heeb always seemed like a pale imitation of the excellent zine Plotz. Having said, I've haven't seen an issue of Heeb for a while, so maybe this is no longer the case.

Who ever bought an issue of Heeb?

Between Heeb, Jewcy & Jewlicious the only thing I could figure out differentiated them were what "witty" t-shirts and onesies they sold.

If they go under, how will I bribe, uh, certain people by promising to get them into the Heeb 100????

In reply to 'Twitter' Is Word of Sexless Year
I think Twitter is one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse, but I would have expected the verb form, "tweet," to be the so-called "top word." Isn't Twitter a brand name? At least Google has been turned into a verb. Aren't we celebrating the related human activity that Twitter promotes and not the actual thing? Unless they just think Twitter is the verb. Am I overthinking this? Can we spend the next 20 minutes conjugating?

I think the most shocking and depressing thing about this is that the guy who runs ClubPlanet.com has $40m to throw around.

God, I used to love this magazine--loved the humor, the fashion, the choice of cover models... Now, I don't know who any of the "models" are, the cover design is awful, and the content...well, now that I think about it, I can't remember the last time I read the content.

O Rly? $300 mil? With what sort of content exactly? Very soft core pics of hot chicks? Lame "humor" that does nothing innovative and merely thumps its chest about how non-PC it is? The occasional badly written tough-guy article about some guy's EXTREME undercover ops at a motorcycle gang/drug gang/Mob family? Some other semi-pictorial article about what pickup lines work best? Everything I listed is easily replicable and is found elsewhere in large quantities.
