Growing Up Nate: I Ran A Third Grade Ponzi Scheme

Sort of.
My elementary school got it’s first soda machine when I was in the third grade. It was kind of a big deal at the time, since we were kids and this was yet another way for us to mainline sugar. It was $.45 a can and it was wonderful.
I soon realized that most kids [...]



He Who Smelt It…Gets Suspended

He Who Smelt It...Gets Suspended

Schools these days aren’t the same as when I was roaming the halls. They’re less smartass-friendly, more totalitarian and full of administrators and teachers that are terrified of their students. Long gone are the days of bullies shoving dweebs into lockers in the hallways in-between classes. Long gone are spitballs, tacks on chairs, smear the [...]

Growing Up Nate: Hehehehe...

To the best of my knowledge, I’ve never suffered from sleepwalking. I may roll around and flail my arms and legs a lot while sleeping, but I never actually get up and wander around. Even while sleeping, I’m slightly lazy. But, there was one incident when I was a small kid that can’t really be [...]

My Childhood Is Slowly Being Ruined/Made More Awesome

I think that we’d all agree that the Internets are a wonderful thing. I mean, think about it, you’re on the Internet right now, reading this. And if you’re like me, you probably have about 26 other tabs open on your browser, all full of great and interesting (porn) things to delight and entertain you [...]



Remembering my grandfather.

Remembering my grandfather.

“Life is a series of ouches.”
That’s what one of the get well cards in my grandfather’s hospital room said. He passed away this last Friday. As I was sitting in his room on that day, his last day, I kept glancing over at that card for some reason, just to take my attention away from [...]



A toast to my sister’s wedding.

By Erik Hagen • Oct 14th, 2008 • Category: General Sod, Wistful Nostalgia

I don’t write about my family all that often, because they specifically asked me not to and the court order they gave me looks to be pretty solid, but I’m making an exception just this one time. I hope you’ll forgive this momentary detour into reality-based matters. Rest assured, I’m sure I’ll find a funny picture of a squirrel to write about in the very near future.

Grown-Up Nate: Attending a Class Reunion

Please don’t laugh at the face I’m making, I was really drunk.
Lists are always fun. I’ve never been one to use them all that often, but I certainly enjoy reading them on other sites. You could say that I have gleaned a great deal of my present-day cache of useless knowledge from reading copious amounts [...]

Growing Up Nate: Gimmie Stitches

Mr. Hoff was my 8th grade science teacher. He was also my junior high football coach. He played football in college and made a point of reminding us of this at every opportunity. He was a mountain of a man. A large, notably out of shape mountain, but still a mountain. From the word “go,” [...]

Growing Up Nate: Candy Cane Children

All of my cousins on my mother’s side of the family are pretty close in age. We all, for the most part, fall within a 10-year window. This made holidays growing up a lot of fun. Sure, we had to drive up to grandma and grandpa’s house in Northern North Dakota, but we got to [...]
