Recent successes and a WHOLE LOT of past failures - including the time Jacke shared an office with Jerry Seinfeld! Cub scout antiheroes, trying to invent a language, playing the Holiday Game, a fascination with golf spikes and men in the 70s, Christmas in Munich, the worst of the worst blog posts, more readers tell us "The Worst Thing I Ever Did," an encounter with a "real" UFO and the "real" Jerry Seinfeld (in A History of Jacke in 100 Objects #3 "The Blood Cake").
