TCD Staff Retreat

Okay...that's not true at all. However, we did manage to fit in a brief strategy meeting during the cocktail hour (and lobster grilled cheese feeding) at good friend of TCD, Anthony Aceto's wedding this weekend.

Our heartfelt congratulations and best wishes go out to Betsy and Anthony along with a much deserved THANK YOU for throwing such a righteous party.

How do they get half a million people to stand in Times Square Every Year?

I have never heard anyone describe NYE in Times Square as anything but a royal pain in the *ss. So where do they find half a million people to partake year after year?

Just a guess, but I bet some of the regulars are in pictures on this Web site.

Happy New Years Eve. Be Safe.

Stereotyping People By Their Favorite Author by Lauren Leto

This is good stuff. Lauren (of textsfromlastnight.com fame) stereotyped the reader of a long list of authors. If you like any of the authors on the list, chances are you'll get burned.

Here's a sample, check the full list here.

Nathaniel Hawthorne

People who used to sleep so heavy that they would pee their pants.

Michael Crichton

Doctors who went to third-tier medical schools.

John Grisham

Doctors who went to medical schools in the Dominican Republic.

Dan Brown

People who used to get lost in supermarkets when they were kids.

Hunter S Thompson

That kid in your philosophy class with the stupid tattoo.

From all of us at The Coughing Dog, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

The Coughing Dog welcomes Sam "SSJ" Stern to its staff

The Coughing Dog welcomes Mark "Newc" Newcomer to its staff

The Coughing Dog welcomes Jack "Snipes" Piper to its staff

The Coughing Dog welcomes Andrew "Client 9" Hughes (France) to its staff

The Coughing Dog welcomes Ben "Crash" Harris to its staff

Ignore the dude in the middle. The Coughing Dog welcomes Ben"Crash" Harris (left) to its editorial staff. Crash will be contributing when he damn well pleases about topics that please him. Nothing could more perfectly fit The Coughing Dog's corporate mantra.

We look forward to Crash's contributions and the anger and intrigue they incite in our readers.
