What would you do if you wanted to play Dungeons & Dragons with your friends, but you knew your controlling spouse wouldn’t let you?
About ten years ago my ex-wife had the flu, and it was her practice to just kind of lie comatose when she was ill and wait for the fever [...]
On last Friday’s show, Luke asked chef Anthony Bourdain what is in his food Shame-ber, and boy is it glorious:
I also thought it was great that Anthony perfectly described the masthead of The Shame-ber (which is The Unknown Comic) – he said he wears a paper bag over his head when he goes into KFC [...]
All the Tens had better watch their backs, because there is someone among us who is not afraid to get some secret revenge if you mess with him! This devious Ten has a long rich history of pulling terrible pranks on people with no regard to the trail of human suffering he leaves in [...]
A little birdie tells us how she uses Twitter to keep tabs on her ex:
My boyfriend and I split up after 5 years, and it would have been amicable, except that I ended it on my terms when he wasn’t ready for us to be completely over. He was all hurt by this, so now [...]

Wade, you know – THE Maine Ten, likes to go down in his basement, pour himself a nice hot mug of cocoa and indulge in his secret shame:
Despite the fact that I’m about to graduate with my BA in English and enter into a grad program (again, in English), I occasionally go on [...]
An unnamed Ten shares a little schadenfreude with us:
My fiancee and I used to love watching the show Jon and Kate Plus 8, because the little kids were cute and their situation was interesting. Over time, both of us got less comfortable with their materialism, Jon’s immaturity and Kate’s bossiness so we stopped watching (although [...]
The Japanese have created something so groundbreaking (and relevant to The Shame-ber) that I had to share it with the Tens. It’s called “Tenshi no Hizamakura” – or Angels Knee Pillow. I guess Japanese housewives are sick of cleaning up their husbands’ pee droplets, which spray all willy-nilly due to the height at [...]
These two shame-ber items are eerily similar to me:
