Should we quarantine kids with colds?

Should we quarantine kids with colds?

Today, I answer another question from one of my beloved readers. He writes:

Dear John,

The Covid-19 pandemic has been a nightmare, but there seems to be many lessons we should be learning, particularly about how we handle viruses. Along that line, when our kids come home with a cold, should we quarantine them? Should we completely isolate them so they don’t infect the rest of us?

How to Defeat Trump; A Simple & Unfuckupable Strategy for Biden to Annihilate Trump

How to Defeat Trump; A Simple & Unfuckupable Strategy for Biden to Annihilate Trump

Everyone knows that Trump is a lying, incompetent, douchebag of a president.

And yet, there is a chance that Biden could lose to him in the upcoming election. The greatest risk in my mind would be Biden making things complicated.

Which is why I say: Joe, don’t complicate things. Don’t overthink it. Just use my below line which is guaranteed to win you the election.

Guest Post: Dear government, let’s cut the shit. Can we just start making pleasure-drugs already?

Guest Post: Dear government, let’s cut the shit. Can we just start making pleasure-drugs already?

The government’s main job, as Thomas Jefferson probably knew, is to provide us a pathway to eternal pleasure. By that, I mean, we need drugs. I am not talking about weak sauce like cocaine or heroin and shit. I’m talking about not-yet-developed ultra hyper pleasure-drugs with no side effects other than possibly incessant orgasming and an acute feeling of exultation.

Skeptical? Well then this article is for you. Read on brutha’.

Bold Predictions for the 2020 NFL Season

Bold Predictions for the 2020 NFL Season

As I mentioned in my inaugural bold predictions post in 2018, bold predictions by the “experts” are almost all bullshit pussy predictions because they want credit when they’re right, but won’t take responsibility when they’re wrong.

It makes me sick and it makes me want to hurt children, so you won’t find this “expert” doing anything of the sort. I take credit & responsibility for all my predictions. Be they bold or tepid or vagynal.

The Best Japanese Words Ever – Part 6

The Best Japanese Words Ever – Part 6

It’s time for 6-8 more illustrious Japanese terms. After a couple straightforward ones, it’s a hodgepodge of headscratchers and homonyms, with a couple venereal disease terms mixed in to make this a very special STD edition!

1) 歯垢 (shikoh) = teeth dirt = plaque.

Nice and simple, telling it like it is. That’s exactly why I love you, Japanese. When coming across the word “plaque” in English for the first time, there’s no normal human

Notes to Willy; (a.k.a Hamlet is Overrated, Illogical, and All Around Sucky)

Notes to Willy; (a.k.a Hamlet is Overrated, Illogical, and All Around Sucky)

I finally read Hamlet (the CliffsComplete version with explanations and commentary of course), and given its reputation and the fact that it has been produced in something like 700 different countries and 48,000 different languages, I was shocked by how not-good it is.

If Shakespeare was an unknown entity and he sent the manuscript to a developmental editor today, this is the feedback he would receive:

How to Raise Happy Kids; Outstanding Advice from a Horrible Person

How to Raise Happy Kids; Outstanding Advice from a Horrible Person

My first child will be born soon and I figured I should monetize the situation by keeping notes and then eventually writing a book on how to raise happy, well-adjusted, and most importantly, good-looking children.

But after thinking over all of the things I’ve heard and learned over the years, I think it can be summed up in a single sentence:

The Corona Virus will Likely Continue to Get Worse in Japan - A Local Tale in Tokyo

The Corona Virus will Likely Continue to Get Worse in Japan - A Local Tale in Tokyo

I don’t enjoy bad-mouthing Japan, because I absolutely love it here, but with respect to the corona virus, the Japanese government is speaking out of both sides of its mouth.

In order to prevent the spread of the corona virus, government officials are asking businesses and citizens alike to cancel events where many people would be gathering in a relatively small space. This has been all over the news, and it makes a lot of sense. A densely-packed event is a corona virus wet dream.

The Best Japanese Words Ever – Part 5

The Best Japanese Words Ever – Part 5

Here are 6-8 more wonderful Japanese terms. For this post, I’m focusing on homonyms. All these words sound exactly the same, or at least exactly the same to my gaijin ears, but with very different meanings. Sometimes head-scratching. Sometimes balls-scratching. Enjoy!

1) うみ (umi) means both “sea” (海) and “pus” (膿).

It’s of course not uncommon for a Japanese person to say, “I love the sea.” But is that
