Bryce Donovan:
It Beats Working
 Bryce Donovan is the humor columnist for The Post and Courier. That doesn't mean his stuff is funny, it just means he's funnier than anybody else we have here. Each week he ventures outside the building to try out new, weird and exciting things for his "It beats working" column. When he's done, he sits down at a computer and writes a first-person account of just how much company time is wasted. |

I think I tan, I think I tan
Thursday, June 19, 2008

Putt-putt-ing his money where his mouth is
Thursday, May 29, 2008
With just three weeks to go until the U.S. Open golf tournament, I am busy working on my game. By which, of course, I mean drinking beer. Now that's not to say that playing golf is as simple as cracking open a couple of cold ones. No, sir. You also have to know how to operate a golf cart. Read story.
The complete (broken) package
Thursday, May 22, 2008
My neck hurts. My eyesight stinks. And my hearing is making a break for it. At 33 years old, I should be in my prime. Instead, I'm in a huge plastic neck brace and a pair of glasses Elton John wouldn't be caught dead wearing. Instead of sending out that, "Sorry, ladies, I'm taken" vibe, I'm putting off more of a "Aw, poor little fella must have just gotten spayed" look. Read story.

When it comes to fashion, most people don't have a clue. For instance, my father, who shall remain nameless, often likes to wear mock turtlenecks. This is a bad choice for several reasons, the most notable being: Read story.
Following these tips can be taxing
Thursday, April 17, 2008
OK, so I don't technically have what most people would call "formal tax training" or "a clue what I'm talking about," but how hard can it be to help people with their taxes? I mean, not to brag or anything, but I got a C-plus in Mr. Connor's 10th-grade statistics class without really even trying that hard. Sure, I was the only 32-year-old in there, but still, it came pretty naturally to me. Read story.
Annoying entrants are running out of chances
Thursday, April 10, 2008
It's an awesome experience because you and 30,000 other people get to look out over a beautiful city from the highest point on a crisp Saturday morning that is filled with chirping birds, gentle breezes and elbows digging into your side because there are too many of you on the bridge at the same time which sets the tone for the sheer madness that is the finish line where you will end up fighting with a bunch of 6-year-olds over unripe bananas so that you can at least have something to munch on while waiting in line for two hours to catch a shuttle bus back to Mount Pleasant, where you pray your car wasn't towed because you ended up having to park in somebody's front yard because half the roads were closed in an effort to accommodate all the people who have no business being entered in this race in the first place. Read story.

Thursday, April 3, 2008
If you don't believe me, check out a list of just a few of the things they do for "fun": wade through pluff mud, climb obscenely high rope ladders, run up and down stadium stairs, scale huge walls — all while carrying 20-pound sandbags on their backs. Read story.

Chalk this one up to Pilates error
Thursday, March 20, 2008
There's a new craze sweeping the nation and it's called Pilates. Or maybe I'm thinking of Facebook. Either way, the point is Pilates is pretty popular. To prove my point, here's an excerpt from the previous sentence of this column which states: "Pilates is pretty popular." Read story.
