Jerk of the Week: The Angry Lollipop Lady I’m not a fan of Chinese food. It’s not terrible like sushi, but I find most of the items gross. Then again, I’m an extremely picky eater, so maybe I’m not the best judge of character when it comes to this stuff. My biggest gripe with Chinese…

Jerk of the Week: Questions from Conrad It’s pretty cool watching my kids grow up. It seemed like yesterday when my wife and I were at the hospital, awaiting the birth of our first child. I documented this in Jerks of the Week, of course, and I wrote about how I didn’t realize the hospital…

Jerk of the Week: Walt Goes to Vegas 2025, Part 12: The Cursed Kiosk We’ve finally done it. We’ve reached the end of the Walt Goes to Vegas 2025 series. This is the 12th of 12 parts. Unbelievable. I write these ahead in the summer so I don’t have to spend hours on Jerks of…

Jerk of the Week: Walt Goes to Vegas 2025, Part 11: The Corn Jerkers and the Baubles I spent two entries in this extremely long Walt Goes to Vegas 2025 series discussing the Tuscany pool. I have one more entry to share about the pool, which encompassed my final full day in Las Vegas. I…

Jerk of the Week: Walt Goes to Vegas 2025, Part 10: The Sportsbook Trek I promised one more entry of a night out in Las Vegas, but don’t take that to mean that this is the conclusion of this extremely long Walt Goes to Vegas series. I still have one more entry about the pool,…

Jerk of the Week: Walt Goes to Vegas 2025, Part 9: The Toxic Hot Tub We’ve reached uncharted territory. I’ve never had a nine-part series for anything in Jerks of the Week. My first seven-part series occurred when I wrote about my trip to Miami for the initial Chiefs-49ers Super Bowl matchup that occurred just…

Jerk of the Week: Walt Goes to Vegas 2025, Part 8: The 100-Percent Tip I can’t believe it’s Part 8 of this year’s Walt Goes to Vegas series, and I haven’t even talked about the pool yet. There are always crazy hijinks at the Las Vegas pools, and this year’s edition will not disappoint. I’m…

Jerk of the Week: Walt Goes to Vegas 2025, Part 7: The Burger Guy I published a Jerks of the Week article over the summer about the price of hot dogs. In it, I discussed how and why I paid more than $7 for a hot dog when the price of hot dogs is just…

Jerk of the Week: Walt Goes to Vegas 2025, Part 6: The CVS Mom and the Monk As a result of making yearly trips to Las Vegas, I’ve learned to never pack shampoo in a suitcase. The same thing happens every time. No matter how tightly you close the cap, or how tightly you pack…

Jerk of the Week: Walt Goes to Vegas 2025, Part 5: The Tuscany and the D It just dawned on me that we’re entering Part 5 of the 2025 Walt Goes to Vegas series, and I haven’t even discussed the hotel yet. I suppose that’s what happens when there are sex-crazed women and screeching falcons…
