Start your morning with a cup of Schadenfreude

Good morning … or was it?  Did you have trouble pulling yourself out of bed to shower a body you hate, go to a job that you never wanted, just so you can send some broken condoms to college in a few years?

You had plans.  You were going to be a big deal.  An astronaut.  A porn star.  An astro-porn star-naut.  But it didn’t happen.

You know what will make your morning a good one?  A steaming hot cup of Schadenfreude.

Remember Rachel Dratch?  Yeah, apparently neither did her SNL co-stars.  She’ll have her own cup of delicious Schadenfreude soon, though, once Baby Mama tanks at the box office.

Mm, Schadenfreude: make it every morning’s shameful joy.

Take it from Snee: Why the world needs the Whimlander

Today’s “Take it from Snee” is a joint-effort with our little sister publication, Radford University’s Whim Internet Magazine. To fill in SG readers who don’t know the Whimlander, he’s an undead Scottish warrior who was resurrected from the days of William Wallace to protect Whim from all enemies, foreign and domestic. Since I spent a few weeks with the Whimlander back in 2007 to play him in Whimlander: The Movie, I wrote this article as part of Whimlander Awareness Week.

My personal/professional history with the Whimlander is long and storied, as evidenced by my previous articles on him: “I spent the night with the Whimlander” and “Why the world doesn’t need the Whimlander.” If you didn’t read those other articles, don’t bother looking for them. (Like I said, long and storied.)

The point is that I was wrong when I said the world doesn’t need the Whimlander. The current state of the world—and the check from the Whimlander Awareness Program—has convinced me that the Whimlander provides a service to not only Whim Internet Magazine, but the entire world that no mere Superman or Highlander could ever aspire to.
