Hamilton Nolan · 05/03/12 03:54PMAn Answer to Yesterday's 'Holy Crap, What Is This Horrifying Monster That Washed Up In San Diego?' Burning Question
Leah Beckmann · 02/02/12 06:08PMYou are probably still recovering from the sight of the hell baby that found its way to a San Diego beach last week.

Holy Crap, What Is This Horrifying Monster That Washed Up In San Diego?
Leah Beckmann · 02/01/12 03:11PMThat thing you are staring at and trying desperately to understand is a "Chupacabra/Montauk Monster." Or at least that is what the tipster who sent it into Vice called it. It supposedly washed up on a San Diego beach just last week.

Hamilton Nolan · 02/02/10 11:34AMDr. Seuss Enterprises is suing a new coal company that calls itself LoraxAG—the objection being that Dr. Seuss wrote the story "The Lorax" to encourage environmentalism, whereas LoraxAG is a fucking coal company.
