Manicorn's Lesson of the Day
by Manicorn
In 1971, a perfectly normal British woman had sex with a perfectly normal British man. Nine months later they gave birth to a son who looked like normal boys and acted like normal kids, except that it had one freakish, unexplained mutation: a unicorn head. The family moved to America (The San Fernando Valley) and rasied manicorn like any other child, save for feeding him hay, oats, carrots and bathing him in a trough. He was a bright student, gifted athlete, and a charmer with the ladies. He now has a Creative Writing MFA and teaches writing seminars at community colleges in the greater Los Angeles area. He lives with his wife and looks forward to having children of his own one day. More

Stop! Dreidel Time.
by Maury and "Top Dog"
Hello all my dreidel enthusiasts! It's been a while since we last corresponded, but boy oh boy has it been a wild one for your Uncle Maury! The last year has been a rollercoaster ride and a half with loops and scoops and drops and bloops coming at every turn. And just when I think the ride is over, out comes another scoop to scoop me away to another bloop! Now if that mouthful doesn't indicate a Maury gone cuckoo, well than I don't know what does! What have I been doing, you ask? Well, I've got two words for you: LAW SCHOOL. More

You Can Make A Difference!
by paws o'henry
Hello friends. With so many problems in our world, it pains me to turn to you in a plea for help. I would not ask you to open your hearts, or your pocketbooks, unless it was for a worthy cause -- but in this holiday season I must appeal to your Christian-Judeo generosity. (Muslims: exempt.) More

Diary of a Car Jacker
by the LUBO car jacker
It never ceases to amaze me how stupid people can be. Just look at the media today. We swim through our national cable news channels, all in the 50's, and no one ever talks about me and my career. Terrorism, the economy, the election - I don't care about any of that. I am a fundamental part of the economy, I hate terrorism as much as the next freelance worker, and I think my vote counts as much as anyone else. Should me and my ilk ever receive such a noble mention as to cascade across the bottom scroll of Fox News or CNN? Nope. It's always the same story: CAR JACKER KILLS FAMILY OF FOUR IN PURSUIT OF 1989 CHRYSLER MINIVAN. NEIGHBORS HORRIFIED. More

Laser Cub's Den of Democracy 2: The Eyes Have It
by laser cub
I'm happy to report that this site has had some recent visits from people in Japan, Spain, and Sweden. I welcome you, international readers, as these are three of my favorite countries. I'm also glad you're safely viewing this page from far away, because here in the United States, some of you might arouse suspicion. More

Kiss & Tell
by jeff berson
Hello fans. The name is Jeff Berson. Many of you already know about my wildly popular Kiss-and Tell column which appears in publications in the non-continental United States and in U.S. occupied territories East of Florida. But if you are a new reader, let me break you in slowly: I am an artist. My paint brush is my tongue. My mouth is my easel. And my canvas is your mouth. It's really simple: I have a need to express myself and I do it through kissing. But that expression not only takes form in the physical act of kissing, but also in its detailed literary complement. I don't consider this bragging, so if I come off as pompous or arrogant, then you my friend have some growing up to do. More

An Open Letter To Richard Kelly
by jeremy padow
Dear Richard,
First, I have to tell you that I have been a huge fan of Donnie Darko since I saw it in the theater back in 2001. I like to think that my telling my friends all about the film back then added to its cult status. More

The Mae Shi On Pitchfork: A Community Reacts!
by tim byron
Pitchfork Media is known for being the most pretentious album review site on the web . Still, whether it's a love to hate or hate to love type relationship, it's hard not to go there on the regular, as if nothing else, it is updated every day (unlike some other content-based websites). Anyways, lunchboxing homies The Mae-Shi, one of the most rockingest and fun bands you could ever see live, recently released a sweet record, and Pitchfork was quick to lay on some of its' signature cocky-style criticism. Here was some of the band members and their friends' reactions: More

Laser Cub's Den of Democracy 1
by laser cub
NN began asking its employees to use more hip-hop lingo a while ago, with mixed results. But a recent episode of the network's Anderson Cooper 360 -- a news program as informative as it is awkwardly named -- made me wonder about CNN's use of one particular piece of hip-hop slang. More

Spring Greetings From Lou Diamond Phillips
by lou diamond phillips
Hey gang!!! It's Spring Time, and that means one thing: it's time to start getting into shape for summer! God knows you don't want the ladies (or men, if you are gay -- or a heterosexual female) making fun of your super fat ass on the beach this year, so why not put in some extra work at the gym, or run shirtless in your neighborhood to burn some extra calories and look sharp and svelte. Here are some other ideas for you: More

Celebrity Image Rehabilitation Corner: The Olsen Twins
by the olsen twins
Hi, this is Ashley. I'm the smart one so I get to start. First, we'd like to thank lunchboxing.com for this chance to educate people about the domestic box office receipts for our exciting new film, New York Minute. It seems that whatever we've done this week -- hanging out at the mall, chilling with friends, sheltering revenue -- people have asked us about the film's "weak" $6.2 million opening weekend. It's true, $6.2 wasn't enough to overcome films like Van Helsing ($54 million), Mean Girls ($14 million) or Man on Fire ($8 million). But it's not exactly small change. Take it, Mary-Kate. More

Celebrity Image Rehabilitation Corner: Mel Gibson
by mel gibson
Woopity-hoo, my lucky day. Some Web site I've never heard of has invited me, Mel Gibson, to write the first column for their new feature, "Celebrity Image Rehabilitation Corner." Yippidee hoo-dah. Apparently someone with a lot of time on his hands thinks my image needs rehabilitating. Someone who's never heard of a little book called THE HOLY GOSPELS. More

A Holiday Greeting From Lou Diamond Phillips

I'm here with five great gift ideas that will have your baby-tots clamoring around the Christmas stocking or Chanukah socks (Jews!) all throughout the holidays and well into the New Year, guaranteed! How do I know? Because in the 80's, I was in the movie La Bamba! More

The Oregon Trail 3
by chris weisbart
Of the many groups of people throughout the ages that have been targets of intense hatred, one of the most quirky are those fabulous, furry, friends of the earth, commonly known as-- the Hippies. Now I know what you're saying... "But Chris, The Irish have all those funny songs and stories about leprechauns," or "What about all those quirky Poles?" or "C'mon Let's kill some of those Gays!" But I believe that when looked at from an objective point of view, no other group is more inclusive and peppered with various customs and rituals than the hippies. Yes, like the patchwork skirts that they don, the hippies embody many flavors, varieties and odors all neatly interwoven into a durable and elegant "garment of friends." More

Jamie Goes To Hollywood 4: Making It In The Working World!
by jamie flam
I have an idea for a movie that will be both exciting and special at the same time. I think I will call it Making It In The Working World, because it is all about a Midwestern boy moving to the big city to get a job in the world of corporate financing. More

Da J Biz Sporting Machine: A Four-Peat Conversation With Shaquille O'Neal
by jeff berson
It's that time of the year when the sports world is all up in a frenzy and shit. No, I'm not talking about the NBA pre-season, or even the NBA All-Star Game*. I'm talking about the NBA Playoffs! Things get intense, and most of the wanksters fold under the pressure. But not the big fella. I had the honor of sitting down with L.A. Lakers Center Shaquille O'Neal this past weekend. This larger than life superstar has led the Lakers to 3 straight championships. In addition, he wears extremely large shoes. Talk about some big shoes to fill! More

Cents N' Cents 3: Luring Cash
by jamie flam
It's Springtime and love is in the air. You got a certain special someone and you want to show them that you care. Naturally, your first instinct is to go to a local lake, take your little lady out on a boat, attach hundred dollar bills to a fishing rod and cast them to the fish in a clever display of machismo and free spiritedness. "The fish is biting," you say with a wink, as you fake a power struggle. Then you carelessly throw the $500 dollar fishing rod you bought just for this occasion into the lake as your gentle leg caressing becomes a passionate love making session aboard the S.S. Frenchman. Sound familiar? More

The Baruti Column 6: Philthy
by baruti armstrong
Having decided to let freedom ring from all of my best secret hiding spots, I find myself in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Philadelphia... the city of brotherly love. Although people were surprisingly rude for their supposed pnchant for being all about brotherly love. I went there for a few days with a bag, couch crashing, for what my friend and I both agreed would be a "new month's eve celebration,"; the changing of the month of January into the month of February.

Planet Berson
by jeff berson
Howdy-Howdy-Ho! Ahoy, my loyal vacationers!! After many years of jet setting around this globe of ours, I have finally found some time to take a load off and catch up on current events. Four years of backpacking in Cambodia, without access to television, radio, or newspapers, has allowed me to focus 100% on my travels, making them that much more meaningful and enjoyable. But before I pick up the USA Today, I owe my readers the long overdue article I promised everyone I'd write before my most recent sojourn, but never had the chance to get to: "Ideal Summer Vacations". Well, it's been a few years, but I think it's safe to say that the world hasn't changed much in that time. So with no further ado, here is a Summer trip that I highly recommend. More

Jamie Goes To Hollywood 3: Leonard, The Boy Who Paid To Be Cool
by jamie flam
I have an idea for another great movie. I can't decide on a name though. It's a toss up between Leonard: The Boy Who Paid To Be Cool and Leonard: How A Boy Went From Geek To Chic, Back to Geek. Obviously they both have great rings to them, and I'd love to just use both. But let's be frank: A movie with two titles would probably confuse most of the general movie-going public, who are used to the one title movie format Hollywood adopted so many years ago. Let's not forget the Monkey See, Monkey Boo-Hoo/Look At The Crying Monkey, Mama debacle of '88. Although the movie was critically panned, I still think it was doomed from day one due to the double title. But enough 'being frank'. Let's move on to my movie idea. More

The Baruti Column Part 5: The Melaka Walk
by baruti armstrong
One of the things that I have learned about here in South East Asia, Malaysia, is perspective. Perspective, perspective. And as I sit here typing this out, it occurs to me that it may help you to know as you read this that for the moment I have been able to put things in perspective. For the moment I have been able to separate myself from the handle of events; I have been able to see the ridiculousness and absurdity of what I have done. As a result, if this is entertaining then it probably has something to do with the fact that sometimes the most interesting stories/the most entertaining stories are often those stories which spawn from some sort of awkwardness or danger or misery or heartbreak as the event(s) is (are) recollected in a safe and relaxed atmosphere.

Lunchboxing With The Stars: Never Played Out
by jamie flam
Saturday afternoon and the temperature in Los Angeles is sunny and mild. Down for two nights of vacationing in celebration of bully Chrissie Canino's birthday, members of lunchboxing's Oakland contingeny have assembled on Melrose Ave. to drink coffee, look at over priced Pumas and Adidas in colors that wouldn't match Mr. Furley's wardrobe, view scenesters from every imagineable scene ever invented, look for movie stars, and hopefully get into the type of adventures that make us lunchboxers. As we turn left onto Melrose from Crescent Heights we have our first star spotting of the day as MTV's Jesse Camp drives by in a shitty vehicle. More

Editorial: The Time Has Come for a Movie About Real "Super Heroes"
by paws o'henry
Lately it seems like the "heroes" of Hollywood movies are less believable than ever. We don't need millionaire producers telling us who our heroes should be, or whose lives we should celebrate. Anyone with a loving parent, devoted teacher or wise mentor can give moviemakers an earful about the real definition of the word "hero." More

Adventures in Adventure 2: Las Vegas Paradise
by jeff berson
When I got the call to join the Lunchboxing crew in Las Vegas, I figured I couldn't miss the golden opportunity. They didn't invite me on their first trip (a weekender to Modesto last year), and after many tearful nights, I finally accepted the fact that maybe they didn't want me there. But this time, I got the "Evite", and I was the first one to respond with a "YES! -Thank you guys, I can't wait". I couldn't believe that I was finally going to get the opportunity to hang out with Flam, Fazio, Betrue, Weisbart, Nicely, and Molloy!!! More

Cents N' Cents 2: Fiscal Fresh!

Welcome to another edition of Cents n' Cents: Money talk that makes "cents of cents"! I have changed the format of the column this week so that I can address a letter that was sent to me all the way from a completely different state. The problems posed by the sender seemed to be ones that many lunchboxing readers could relate to, so I figured my interpretation might be worth everyone's while. Take a gander! More

Hot, Not, and FreezerBURNed
by dan fazio
Admit it. You're not always on top of what is "hot" in popular culture. Nor are you able to quickly determine what's "not." Heck, just last week at a party, you made an ill-advised "Is that your final answer" joke that went over terribly with your boss's wife. Well, as always, we're here to help. Not only do we provide you with the most current "hot" and "not" list, we've added a new category called "FreezerBURNed!" When something is "FreezerBURNed," it has fallen so far below the radar that it is becoming cool again. Or, it is so NOT HOT that it is HOT again. Here's an example: Brad Pitt is hot. Richard Greico is not. Corey Feldman is FreezerBURNed. More

Adventures in Adventure: The Next American Idol
by jeff berson
As a kid, I always dreamt of making it in this world. These dreams led me on quests; quests that always ended up with me lying half-naked, bruised, and 20 pounds overweight in a receptacle filled with a combination of vomit and filth. There was the time I pursued my dream of being a track-and-field star. I tried out for the track team in high school, where the coach pronounced in the school paper that I was too slow and stupid to make the team. This led me on a week-long binge of Winchell's Cream Donuts, Cool Ranch Doritos, and Yoo-Hoos. I came home from my binge and my uncle, Wayne Herman, hit me so hard that he knocked me unconscious, after which I threw-up in the hamper. Then he threw me into the hamper with dirty clothes and wet underwear. And the throw-up. What a mess! Ê More

Jamie Goes to Hollywood 2: Pinstripe Surprise
by jamie flam
I have an idea for a romantic comedy. In many ways it is just like every other romantic comedy in that it is a "love story with laughs", as I like to say. But what makes it different than other movies of the genre is that my movie stars Sandra Bullock. And maybe Hugh Grant and/or Matthew McConaughey. I am also open to Colin Firth. But who is in the movie bears no importance. It's the story itself that will tug at your heartstrings. And I don't know about you, but my heartstrings need a good tuggin', what with life being all crazy tumultuous and stuff these days, am I right? More

Editorial: When A Party's A Party
by frankie koeller
It's the year 2003 and it's time for all of us to lay aside our presumptions and fears and embrace a whole new kind of "reality" when it comes to partying. The "reality" I'm talking about is not the kind of reality that is so spuriously depicted on television. I'm trying to differentiate between what is bogus partying and what is legitimately "real". I'm sure most of you went to some kind of new years affair a couple of weeks ago, and I'm confident that your experiences were satisfying. But to call what you people attended a "real" party would most likely be false.More

The Baruti Column 3: Singapore
by baruti armstrong
The road to Singapore is south on a neatly paved stretch of highway splintered by Rain Forests on both sides, and traffics at points in between the three toll booths and two customs check- points from here to there occasionally. But for the most part, the North-South Highway is an innocuous stretch of road where even though the speed limit is 90 kph, one can easily gear it up to 140 kph for most of the trip. From Kuala Lampur we made it there in about 3 hours, but I can't seem to remember exactly what the distance is between here and there. More

No He Didn't! You Go Girl!

Dear Jamie,
My man loves me, I know he do! But you wouldn't know it from the way he was treatin' me last week! This guy has the nerve to show up for a date at the Sizzler TWO HOURS LATE. I was like, "I'm outta here!!!", but then I decided to stay and teach him a lesson. After stuffing my face with six plates of Tiger Shrimps and making it go down with 8 glasses of soda "suicide", I collapsed at my table, and woke up disoriented in the waiting room booth area. That stupid boy never did show up, and I never heard from him again. Punk bitch. But I certainly taught him a lesson in what I call Shirology!!! Thanks Jamie! More

Its 12:30 A.M. and I have to wake up for work in six hours. But right before I visit Mr. Sandman in Dreamland, I want to end the night with some quality television viewing. After flipping around for 2 minutes I realize that something horrible has happened...TLC is showing Designing Women and Lifetime is showing The Golden Girls, the 2 best shows since...ever. Asking me to choose between those programs is like asking me to choose whether I like my step-dad or step-mom better. I can't do it, they're both lovely people and have been great additions to my family. Period. More

New Discoveries
by jeff berson
Life has many ups and downs. Just ask Osama Bin Laden. One day he's the big shot over there at the Taliban, and the next he's on the run from the U.S. government over some tower stunt. That kind of reminds me of myself. Just a week ago I took paper for granted. Now I cherish paper. And so should you. Here's why: Paper comes from trees! It's true, and anything that comes from the gentle giants of nature is worthy of praising. There are many types of paper: paper from trees, post-it note paper, and $1 and $5 dollar paper bills. Who knew that currency was made from paper?? (I'm still looking into the possibility of coins being made from paper, and I'll let you know when my staff comes up with something. I have a hunch that it may be so...;))Ê More

The Baruti Column Part 2: Little India
by baruti armstrong
The day began like any other day. I stumbled out of bed, found my face and my legs and the rest of my body. I made my way with the mornings' Muslim prayer ringing in one ear and the latest Madonna jam throbbing in the other. I wandered like a nomad on the desert plains of some barren land. In the end I decided that I would take the train to the Masjid Jamek station. There I would be able to explore the markets that I had noticed there a few days ago on my way back from Bangsar. The markets are assortments of stalls in the middle of the streets selling everything from knock- off Louis Vuitton handbags, Gucci sunglasses, and Diesel shorts (although some of this stuff may be the real deal- I can't tell half the time) to tropical fruits that look like vegetables with names I've never heard of to handicraft items. I'm not too sure what isn't sold at these markets. It's hot, but not too hot, nor is it too humid. It isn't raining and by the weather clock that I use, i.e. looking out of my window every morning before I leave my apartment, I figure that I have at least a few hours before any sprinkles. More

Lunch Spot: Nina Hartley

The short version of the story is that she wanted me. And I used my thumb, the one held erect in the photo. The long story, the true story, is much longer. And true. Our early February escapade to Las Vegas was easily prepared, as the boys were in that wicked "between jobs" gray area of life. Thankfully the house was kind to us, fattening our light pockets with a steady amount of wins at The Venetian's "Spanish 21" table. While enjoying our paper chase, we noticed a large amount of top heavy women frolicking through the Venetian's gambling area. More

Hey Doog! These Girls Are Bangin'!

Imagine my surprise; for the first time in my life, I found myself in a real-life Hollywood nightclub. Sure there was no one of actual fame within blocks of the Sunset Room, but the crowd was overstocked with hipness. The guys were so cool they had to wear sunglasses. Each guy had his own personally crafted style of facial hair and remarkably spiky hair. More

The Baruti Column: From Trinidad to Malaysia

He warns not to expect anything too fancy from THE BARUTI COLUMN since, "I never make any sense." Not only that but he's sort of crazy as well as a hopeless romantic. Note: That hopeless romantic thing probably isn't true. More

Zing Patrol!:A Look From the Outside
by chris weisbart
As we all know, there truly is no greater joy in the world than zinging your friends, except of course when you "zing them real good". However, some urban youths have taken the simple pleasure that is zinging and have turned it around into something much more calculating... much darker. I am speaking, of course, about the so called "Zing Patrol," a group of 3 grown men who make it their duty to concieve, prepare and deliver zings of such grandeur and tactical complexity that the mighty sting of their zings can be felt for miles, if not an entire state away.

Zing Patrol!
by jamie flam
There's perhaps no greater joy in the world than zinging your friends real good! Which is why this past Friday turned out to be an extremely joyous occasion. But that was to be expected, considering the night began with the arrival of Peter Von Pinnon and Eric Steuer to my house, as myself and roommate Mike Mott waited. When you put together a group like this, it's only a matter of time before some major zinging goes down, and in this case it took all but 20 minutes before Mike Mott got the zinging of his lifetime!
