I loved this post too. I’m following him now because who doesn’t like to see “I love you” everytime they go to someone’s page? It’s heartwarming, really. peterwknox: Great post on posting, reblogging, and tumbling. Word up Ronen, you’ve got a new follower, but don’t take it personally.

dalasverdugo: “In addition, when buyers receive negative Feedback, they reduce their activity in the marketplace, which in-turn harms all sellers.” Uh, no shit. Bad buyers reducing their activity in the marketplace is a GOOD thing, because it keeps other sellers from being hit by an awful buyer. shawnblog:(via focsa)

I wasn’t going to post this for everyone to see, but my friend thought I should. So here it is. This woman articulates exactly what I like about guys…but I have never been able to spell it out so perfectly. I especially love #’s: 1, 4, 5, 6, 7… nevermind, I love all 10.

Megan: Good thing you're off work tomorrow!
GEO: Damn, that means that Jim won’t be taking his daughter to school in the morning and she’ll stay an extra night on Friday, which was the night I was going to wear my wrestling singlet :(
Megan: You know, you really don't need to share EVERYTHING with me.
An example of one of the ridiculous conversations...
GEO: ..so I was over at Jim's house and we were watching American Idol. He was just petting his dog. If you know what I mean.
Megan: Yeah, I get it.
Wait, you literally mean "petting the dog," right?
GEO: Yeah, of course.
Megan: Then why say "if you know what I mean?"

Sex Offenders To Register Email Addresses

did you just double dip that chip? →
I may have to rethink my stance on double-dipping. dihard:A Clemson University study sets out to prove Georgey right. On average, three to six double dips transferred about 10,000 bacteria from the eater’s mouth to the remaining dip.
Clean Is Happy??? →
This is for you, GEO…and only you and I know why. ;-) clarawalnuts: I’m so creeped out by this. Please spend five minutes going to the website and watching the demonstration. The remote just really weirds me out. I don’t understand. Are people lately have trouble getting clean with the normal method of toilet paper?
Prank calling
clarawalnuts: We’re bored at work so we decided to prank call. I’ve been conference calling Chinese restaurants together. They both think the other one called them. Also, we’ve been specifically targeting non-English speaking ones like “Happy Dragon” and “Vim Thai.” My favorite so far has been the guy who when connected just kept saying over and over...

Shark Laughing
I cannot stop watching that stupid shark laughing video. The laugh will haunt me in my dreams.
Utterly
I have no idea how it feels to be utterly loved. I am the place a person falls to when life gets hard. I am the shoulder, the keeper of secrets, the kindness through their pain. I am the wisdom, the knowledge, the prophet when everything goes wrong. I have no idea how it feels to be utterly loved. [via a beautiful revolution] There are some pretty intersting poems and stories at that site.

Getting Rickrolled
nostrich: What with Rickrolling (more info here if you’re still confused) becoming so widespread, I can’t help wondering… I wonder how many people get tricked into clicking a link to Rick Astley’s ugly mug, and then pretend they didn’t, claiming to have “seen it coming”? ———————- I totally saw that coming. - Megan...
