Bryce Donovan is the humor columnist for The Post and Courier. According to his mother, his weekly column is "easily the fifth or sixth best thing in the Thursday newspaper." Each week he ventures outside the building to try out new, weird and exciting things. When he's done, he sits down at a computer and writes a first-person account of just how much company time he wasted. For even more Bryce, check out his blog, The Bryce is Write

Thursday, June 4, 2009
Tease photo

It's time for Part Two of our critically acclaimed series on the do's and don'ts of camping. In this week's installment, we will attempt to answer such burning questions as, "How much water should you pack for a three-week camping trip?" "What do you do if it starts raining outside and your beagle, who is in the tent with you, develops really bad gas?" and "How are you going to answer all these questions when you're using the 'do' and 'don't' format?"

How to be the best best man

Thursday, May 28, 2009
Tease photo

Last weekend was my best friend's wedding. I was the best man. Well, co-best man. He also made his little brother one. You know, just in case I were to get sick. Or forget that his wedding was actually two weekends ago. Read MoreRead More

Riding your bike to work is cyclopathic

Thursday, May 21, 2009

Last Friday was "National Ride Your Bike to Work Day." So naturally, with the weather a perfect 84 degrees and a gentle spring breeze in the air, I hailed a rickshaw. Read MoreRead More

A host is a host of course of course

Thursday, May 14, 2009

I don't normally like to brag, but one time when I was 8 and I got a tapeworm, the doctor - who I have to say showed some real thoughtfulness in an otherwise awful situation - told me I was "the perfect host." Read MoreRead More

Reading this column definitely a gamble

When gambling in Las Vegas, you should always make sure you understand the point of each game before playing. Otherwise, you might find yourself in a really awkward situation like I did at the craps table. Read MoreRead More

Avoid high-priced hoes (and other handy landscaping tips)

Thursday, April 30, 2009
Tease photo

Ah, spring is in the air. Not to mention all over my car. That's right, the ceremonial 2-inch-thick layer of pollen is upon us signaling the beginning of growing season. Which means it's time for you to get outside and do battle with Mother Nature in the form of yard work. Read MoreRead More

Runaway train(ing)

When my wife got me a six-week triathlon training program for my birthday, I was so excited, I nearly wet my pants. (NOTE: In this particular instance "nearly" is pronounced "totally.") Read MoreRead More

"YOU'RE HIRED!" (Is something you'll never hear if you follow these job interview tips)

Thursday, April 9, 2009
Tease photo

So you finally got up the nerve to march into your boss's office and tell him you feel underappreciated and underpaid. Naturally, he was impressed by your assertiveness and candor, and promptly fired you. Read MoreRead More

With a recession looming, unemployment skyrocketing and more personal debt than Michael Jackson and General Motors put together, I decided what better time than the present to take on a huge monthly mortgage payment. Read MoreRead More

Making (non)sense of the economy

Thursday, March 26, 2009
Tease photo

This week, I open up the floor to you, the financially strapped reader, to ask any questions you might have regarding our country's toilet-bound economy. For instance, you might be wanting to know stuff such as, "When is this recession going to end?" and, "You're going to forward these questions to an actual financial planner, right?" We'll answer them all. Read MoreRead More

Bird (legs) on a wire

Thursday, March 5, 2009
Tease photo

If there's one thing I hate worse than spiders, it's teamwork. Actually, it's people who don't use their turn signals. Followed by that Verizon guy. But after those things, it's definitely teamwork. My main reason being - and here I'm quoting my late grandfather, who always had a profound way of looking at life - "most people are idiots." Read MoreRead More

25 things you may not know (or want to know) about me

Thursday, Feb. 26, 2009

For years I've written this column and never really let you "in." Sure I've talked about my bed-wetting as a child, my subsequent awkward exchanges with women as an teenager and the six restraining orders Joey Lawrence has against me. But let's be honest, I've never fully let my guard down. Read MoreRead More

One of the best parts about this job is the relationships I've been able to form with some of my readers over the years. Naturally, I do this via the most intimate way possible: e-mail. I mean, I'm not an idiot here. Think about it: If these people enjoy my sense of humor, odds are they aren't rowing with both oars in the water, if you catch my drift. Read MoreRead More

Mastering another tongue (oh, grow up)

(oh, grow up)

Thursday, Feb. 5, 2009
Tease photo

I've never been very good at picking up foreign languages. True story: I took Spanish for four years in high school and always thought, "Tengo que hacer un cuarto de baño en mis pantalones," meant, "Where are your bathrooms, please?" But just last week, I learned - and keep in mind this is after two vacations to Cancun and roughly 7,000 trips to the Mexican restaurant near my house, where I always thought I was showing off to the wait staff - it actually means, "I need to make a bathroom in my pants."

Thursday, Jan. 22, 2009

Caught up in inauguration fever on Tuesday, I couldn't help but show my patriotism by dressing up as the Statue of Liberty while standing on the side of Savannah Highway and waving at passing motorists. In doing so, I hope I reminded the citizens of this great country two very important things: Read MoreRead More

This week, I open up the floor to you, the financially strapped reader, to ask any questions you might have regarding our country's toilet-bound economy.

We'll answer them all. Read MoreRead More

This week, I open up the floor to you, the financially strapped reader, to ask any questions you might have regarding our country's toilet-bound economy. For instance, you might be wanting to know stuff such as, "When is this recession going to end?" and, "You're going to forward these questions to an actual financial planner, right?" We'll answer them all. Read MoreRead More

So you finally got up the nerve to march into your boss's office and tell him you feel underappreciated and underpaid. Naturally, he was impressed by your assertiveness and candor, and promptly fired you. Read MoreRead More

You are prequalified to read this column

With a recession looming, unemployment skyrocketing and more personal debt than Michael Jackson and General Motors put together, I decided what better time than the present to take on a huge monthly mortgage payment. Read MoreRead More

Making (non)sense of the economy

Thursday, March 26, 2009
Tease photo

This week, I open up the floor to you, the financially strapped reader, to ask any questions you might have regarding our country's toilet-bound economy. For instance, you might be wanting to know stuff such as, "When is this recession going to end?" and, "You're going to forward these questions to an actual financial planner, right?" We'll answer them all. Read MoreRead More

Tease photo

If there's one thing I hate worse than spiders, it's teamwork. Actually, it's people who don't use their turn signals. Followed by that Verizon guy. But after those things, it's definitely teamwork. My main reason being - and here I'm quoting my late grandfather, who always had a profound way of looking at life - "most people are idiots." Read MoreRead More

25 things you may not know (or want to know) about me

Thursday, Feb. 26, 2009

For years I've written this column and never really let you "in." Sure I've talked about my bed-wetting as a child, my subsequent awkward exchanges with women as an teenager and the six restraining orders Joey Lawrence has against me. But let's be honest, I've never fully let my guard down. Read MoreRead More

This one's for all (three of) his fans

Thursday, Feb. 12, 2009
Tease photo

One of the best parts about this job is the relationships I've been able to form with some of my readers over the years. Naturally, I do this via the most intimate way possible: e-mail. I mean, I'm not an idiot here. Think about it: If these people enjoy my sense of humor, odds are they aren't rowing with both oars in the water, if you catch my drift. Read MoreRead More

Mastering another tongue (oh, grow up)

(oh, grow up)

Thursday, Feb. 5, 2009
Tease photo

I've never been very good at picking up foreign languages. True story: I took Spanish for four years in high school and always thought, "Tengo que hacer un cuarto de baño en mis pantalones," meant, "Where are your bathrooms, please?" But just last week, I learned - and keep in mind this is after two vacations to Cancun and roughly 7,000 trips to the Mexican restaurant near my house, where I always thought I was showing off to the wait staff - it actually means, "I need to make a bathroom in my pants."

I, Bryce Donovan, do solemnly swear I'm an idiot

Caught up in inauguration fever on Tuesday, I couldn't help but show my patriotism by dressing up as the Statue of Liberty while standing on the side of Savannah Highway and waving at passing motorists. In doing so, I hope I reminded the citizens of this great country two very important things: Read MoreRead More

When camping, don't do what Bryce does

Thursday, June 4, 2009
Tease photo

It's time for Part Two of our critically acclaimed series on the do's and don'ts of camping. In this week's installment, we will attempt to answer such burning questions as, "How much water should you pack for a three-week camping trip?" "What do you do if it starts raining outside and your beagle, who is in the tent with you, develops really bad gas?" and "How are you going to answer all these questions when you're using the 'do' and 'don't' format?"

How to be the best best man

Thursday, May 28, 2009

Last weekend was my best friend's wedding. I was the best man. Well, co-best man. He also made his little brother one. You know, just in case I were to get sick. Or forget that his wedding was actually two weekends ago. Read MoreRead More

Riding your bike to work is cyclopathic

Ah, spring is in the air. Not to mention all over my car. That's right, the ceremonial 2-inch-thick layer of pollen is upon us signaling the beginning of growing season. Which means it's time for you to get outside and do battle with Mother Nature in the form of yard work. Read MoreRead More
