Jerks of the Week for March 18, 2013 JERK OF THE WEEK NO. 1: My Second Stalker I’ve had two stalkers in my life. The first was some girl I knew when I was 18 or so. She was only mildly attractive, but she was apparently super into me because she once sent me 47…

Jerks of the Week for March 11, 2013 Jerks of the Week: The Blizzard of 2013 I spoke in front of my former sports journalism class at Penn State a few years ago.

Jerks of the Week for March 4, 2013 Jerks of the Week: Jerks of Tulane I wrote last week that it was my goal to become a more open-minded and worldly writer. It hasn’t been long since I published those words, but I think you’ll be pleased to learn that I’ve made quite a bit…

Jerks of the Week for Feb. 4, 2013 Jerks of Tango: Where They’ll Be in 2020 I can be very selfish sometimes. Of course, I’m fully aware of this. There was the time I didn’t help an old lady who fell down at the mall, and I definitely don’t regret stealing Oreo cake from people…

Jerks of the Week for Aug. 6, 2012 JERK OF THE WEEK: Jerks of the Vacation I mentioned last week in Jerks of the Flight that I boarded a plane for the first time in 15 years. When I landed, I was in a different time zone for the first time since I was 8….

Jerks of the Week for Jan. 28, 2013 JERK OF THE WEEK: One Final Night at Tango It saddens me to tell you this, but Tango, my favorite bar, has closed. I’ve been going to Tango for nearly a decade, and I’ve written about many a jerk from there over the years, but the bar…

Jerks of the Week for Jan. 21, 2013 JERK OF THE WEEK: Jerks of My Cousin’s Wedding Before last Friday, I assumed the state of Delaware was comprised of nothing more than a bridge, a college with a 5-to-1 girl-to-guy ratio and a bunch of empty buildings that were just there to serve as tax…
