Friday Shoutout

I like this shoutout to Spidey, even though he looks a bit like Strongbad.

Get Meta, It Pays

Tons of pun
Did you see the episode of Friends where Chandler made a sarcastic comment?

Your turn…

Sad Umbrellas

Umbrellas are about as long lived as something. I guess that’s why they litter the streets after a storm like civil war casualties, broken and forgotten.
Maybe people would hold on to their umbrellas if light breezes didn’t make them flip inside out, and their handles weren’t the leading cause of carpal tunnel […]

Surgical Gloves

I love how the guy in the deli wears plastic gloves so he doesn’t get his germs all over your smoked turkey and swiss on a hero, but then fishes out your change with the same gloved hand. Plastic gloves don’t kill germs on contact, they just shield your sandwich from the festering wounds […]

Google Hack

Not that this is breaking news any more, but Google has added a customizable homepage to their already impressive repertoire. It lets you add headlines, a notifier for new g-mails in your inbox, a word and quote of the day, and more. But my favorite Google feature is Google Suggest, which suggests search […]

The End of the World…

When I see a storm front coming, I’m all, “What’s up, bitch?!” And the storm is all, “Not, much, Sir.” And I’m all, “That’s right, bitch! Now, go make me a sandwich!”

Ferengi Miller

You don’t have to be a Star Trek fan to find this amusing, but it would help.

Reggie Miller of the Indiana Pacers looks just like Quark from Deep Space 9. The giant ears, crooked teeth, wide nose, bald, the fact that they are now both out of work… The list goes on.
Go […]

Get ‘em While They’re Hot

Ominous prediction:
TicketMaster will crack down on craigslist.org for facilitating ticket scalping.
eBay has gotten into trouble for it, but so far it’s still thriving on the C-list. Personally I don’t see it as that big a problem, because if someone is willing to pay $500 to see the Arcade Fire, you should be able […]

I Heart New Socks

If I could afford it, I’d wear a brand new pair of socks everyday. I’d give the old ones to charity of course, but I’d only wear each pair once before doing so.
There’s nothing quite like putting on a pair of fresh-out-of-the-polythene-bag socks. It’s not like new shirts or underwear that […]

USBarbie

I used to tear my sister’s Barbie Doll’s heads off, but never for a good reason.
