If it were up to us, David Lynch would make every and any movie he wanted, and remake countless others. We would build him his own studio full of muscle cars, modernist homes and baroque theaters, have perpetual casting calls out for little people and classic movie star types, and of course a limitless budget.

One Halloween night long ago, which also happened to be a full moon and the anniversary of a local massacre carried out by escapees from a nearby asylum, we stayed at the Listicles office working into the early morning hours, the entire room immersed in pitch black darkness save the light from our computer. Then, [...]

In as much as most of our ideas are actually suggested to us by well-meaning friends and acquaintances to whom we give no credit or remuneration (of which, of course, there is none for us either, so…), Listicles is in many ways crowd-sourced, based on recommendations from our readers. But it isn’t crowd-sourced in the [...]

For the many years that we have lived with cats, not once have we seen one even semi-fail, not to speak of outright or epic fails, so it took the emergence of the Internet and its endless numbers of cats to convince us that our feline friends do in fact fail. For instance, look at [...]

As if you had to ask: Our tombstone will be a list of the Top 10 People, Things, Places and Times of Our Life. We have a draft of the list going at all times, which we revise almost daily as new things happen and the order changes and some things seem less significant. As [...]

When the system breaks down and the stream of information and less informative but increasingly barely distinguishable entertainment comes to a halt, there are a few things we will miss that we currently take for granted: law firm ads, animated music videos, horribly dated PSAs, and the like. Another for the media apocalypse heap: car [...]

We almost decided not to tell you this because, well, it could be considered a private matter between us and our closest friends and relatives, but today is the second ever Data Privacy Day, an annual holiday created last year by the U.S. government to teach young people the importance of keeping their personal information [...]

When we first got this blogging gig we tried to train our blue-throated macaw Oliver to do most of our work for us. Turned out he was really good at it, too good in fact. He got a book deal and a high-paying job as an environmental correspondent at a major monthly magazine. We’re still [...]

Our interactions with police officers have always been of a very civil, unremarkable sort, except for that one time a cop commandeered our parents’ car for a high-speed chase and we never heard from him again. He wasn’t wearing a uniform, but he said he was an under-cover officer busting a drug ring from the [...]

We usually spend all day in costume on Sundays. Not the same costume mind you; we are calculated eccentrics, not lazy slobs. It has to do with our love of Halloween, and our impatience for Halloween to come around and give us an excuse to dress up. This costume addiction has gotten us in trouble [...]
