Comcast Hijackers Say They Warned the Company... →
“Then, they say, they contacted Comcast’s original technical contact at his home number to tell him what they’d done. When the Comcast manager scoffed at their claim and hung up on them, 18-year-old EBK decided to take the more drastic measure of redirecting the site’s traffic to servers under their control. (Comcast would neither confirm nor deny the warning phone call.) ...

Things My Girlfriend and I Have Argued About →
An old favorite. I don’t think I’ve ever linked it here before.“Our sink is blue and we’re not talking about it. It happened over a week ago; I was leaning over the sink, brushing my teeth, when I noticed that there was a sort of lazuline patina that had seeped over most of the surface. Margret hasn’t mentioned ...

I am a post-coital idiot
hugehuge: Recumbent 3 a.m. conversation a few days ago: She [sincerely and without warning]: I’m attracted to everything about you. Even the Darth Vader sword hanging on your wall. Me [thinking]: Oh my god, that’s the sweetest thing anyone has said to me in a very long time. Me [out loud]: Correction: it’s a lightsaber.

Dear Germans: An Open Letter
Hehehe lenachen: duckie: Please stop giving me shocked looks when I refer to some aspect of German history. A few weeks ago someone asked me if they taught us anything about Germany in American high schools. … You started TWO WORLD WARS. But no. They didn’t mention you.
Nooners on Thursdays Redux
topherchris: onemoretimewithfeeling: yourdp: Man Thoughts: When I hear the word “nooners,” trail mix is not the first thing that comes to mind. Not just a man thought. I went there too. I’ve figured out the formula for getting stuff reblogged. Perhaps I should work in a sexual reference to everything else I post this week. It might be exhausting to go for that long, but totes worth it. Aaand you...
“Let me make a generalized statement about a trend I see in the U.S. Congress...”
– Dick Cheney I know, it’s hard to believe he said those words. But he did, according to this article. (I don’t see a bibilography, so please do not take this as gospel.)
I remember when the show Punk’d first came out, my mom thought it was pronounced “Punk D.” So of course the whole family started using that name as well.
'Biggest drawing in world' revealed as hoax →
Too funny. I wondered about the loops over the ocean as well. joelaz: I got punk’d. I was wondering how he convinced the DHL pilots to make loops over the ocean for the guy’s hair in the drawing.
“I might have to make a stop at Borders to take a peek.”
– Katydid…did you?: making a nightmare funny (is that possible?) Do it! Keep me employed!
“I hate when you give one word answers, makes me think there’s something wrong...”
– Aaron (via lfarm) Oh Aaron, I can totally relate. Especially when the answer is followed by a period. That little puncuation mark can be so irritating!!! Examples: Yes. No.
“The Borders executives said about half the savings will come from cuts in the...”
– Borders Has Slow Start, Plans to Cut Costs One of many rumors floating around is that these big payroll cuts will happen tomorrow.
WatchOk, I’ll admit it. I want to see this movie, mostly because of the cast, minus Justin Long. He annoys the eff out of me. claudia: Trailer for He’s Just Not That Into You. I didn’t read the book that this movie is based on, and the title alone makes me want to hit something, but I’ll see this.
I am very fond of the phrase “batshit insane.”
Mannequin vs. Career Opportunities →
I had never thought about this, but it’s really true! 1happyst: Here’s something that has always bugged me. How does the movie Career Opportunities get made after the movie Mannequin? I mean essentially they are the same movie. …
“Why don’t we just pretend he didn’t die? Just for a bit!”
– Larry Wilson - Weekend at Bernie’s And there it is. The entire plot of the movie. So absolutely ridiculous, and yet, I watched that movie over and over again when I was a kid. I never claimed to have great taste in movies.
I have such a crush on one of the guys auditioning for Beauty and the Geek! He’s never been on one single date. It is so hard to believe…because he is so. hot.
Oh yes, totally agree. travors: Nothing gets your house tidier, faster, than a phone call from a friend who is just around the corner, asking if she can pop in. so says pica Totally agree but oh the panic you feel in your belly for the duration of that clean-up.
“If you really believe that death leads to eternal bliss then, why are you...”

Rules of Engagement Paraphrase
Audrey: The promotion is great! It means an extra week of vacation and tickets to the Met!
Jeff: The Mets! Where are the seats?
Audrey: Not the Mets, the Met - the Metropolitan Opera.
Jeff: One little "s" makes all the difference between totally awesome, and who cares?

The Smart Car →
I know it’s better for the environment to drive a car like this, but I wish it looked a little less ridiculous. I see a guy drive one of these to one of the other businesses near me, and I feel it kind of emasculates him. On the other hand, he must be pretty secure with himself to drive a go-cart around in public.
On the whole 60 Minutes vs. Millenials fiasco
Love #5. topherchris: To recap: 60 Minutes ran a piece saying that millenials (those born from 1980-1995) are lazy little pricks who put their yoga classes above work, among other things. This has caused a fervor online among individuals born, coincidentally, from 1980-1995. I shall summarize my opinion, as usual, in easy-to-digest bullet point form: If you’re a millenial and offended by...
