Penny Arcade
If Jerry Holkins, aka "Tycho," of Penny Arcade were to sit down and start regaling me with stories culled from a phone book, I have no doubt they would be the most lavish and fascinating tales I had ever experienced. Here he is talking about winning movie tickets in a raffle the other day:
When good things happen to me, it is hard to enjoy them because I am sure I must suffer an equal amount at some future time. I don't know where this idea came from. I don't actually believe that there exists a comprehensive spiritual physics. All the same, this imagery is so vivid that it must have some origin beyond my transient mortal equipment: a blinding God of polished brass, one hand heavy with my blessings, the other exquisite palm raised in imminent violence.
Seriously, the man is a linguistic savant. Try searching the site for "carrot cake soup" if you don't believe me. Or not, here it is. Genius.
