It’s not enough that this commercial exists at all. Let’s not even think of the fact that the social cues displayed here are ALL wrong. Nobody should act like this toward his or her own sibling. Right? Right!
But then some awesomely gross people had to prove Rule 34 correct and write fan fic about it!
Amazing/disgusting/amazing.
So she did. I like that kind of follow through, although it made for a lot of “Porkchop in the fridge” jokes.
My nephew has written a new note, this one to his father. Unlike the majority of the notes that he writes, this is not to protest some form of perceived adult aggression, such as homework or bath time. The spelling is much better than what he usually produces (he even attempted an apostrophe, which I’d explained to him the day before), and he wrote it to find out information for me. I’m touched. I’m going to miss the little stinker when I’m away.
Just saw a brief video of Ralph Fiennes (in PJ’s!) reading aloud a bit of Voldemort/Harry Potter slash fan fic. Too funny!
Edit: Duh, perhaps I should have included a link????
Oh, Nicole.
Anyways: linkage
So Philly’s mayor, Mike Nutter, somehow knows the words to Rapper’s Delight, which is not an easy song to rap. Also, he’s not afraid to tell people not to be assholes!
Factor in the number of Wawas within its city limits, and Philadelphia is looking better and better all the time.

Comments Off on Some more Philly
This guy‘s two nights in Miami are just like The Hangover. Except without friends, Mike Tyson, an ill-advised marriage, or a pissed-off tiger. Also unlike that movie (I haven’t seen the second one, so let’s just pretend it doesn’t exist), the roofied shenanigans of famous-in-Philly meteorologist John Bolaris had actual consequences. AmEx ruined his credit, but then had to pay him damages; let’s put this one in the “Good” column. His job first suspended him, and then went ahead and fired him all the way; that would go in the “Not Good” column. This table is further developed below.
While this story added nothing to my life and just reminded me that I’m an awful person who will laugh at anything, I am grateful that I read this article, if only for the following words: “In Philly, weathermen and chefs are stars. John has been a huge star in Philly for years.” Sixth borough (are people still trying to make that one happen?), I love you so.
| Good | Not Good |
|---|---|
| AmEx paid him damages | After they'd refused to reverse the roofie charges and ruined his credit score. |
| He had the possibility of getting laid | He was roofied instead by beautiful women who made him buy expensive stuff |
| He awaked the next day alive and okay | He went out with the roofiers again, because they were still beautiful women |
| He cares enough about meteorology that he gave the forecast over his Twitter account when he was suspended | It's a good thing that he finds intrinsic satisfaction in his job, because he was first suspended, and then fired, and no longer receives money for doing it. |
| He apparently had no idea that his credit card could send him text alerts about what is happening on his account | |
| He apparently values the potential for sex more than he does his own welfare. |

This post on Gawker and the ensuing comments have almost taken my mind off of my body’s most recent betrayal (another stomach virus? really??).
This article is equal parts touching, hilarious, and ridiculous, but only because of how stupid this man is and the fact that the dog is unharmed. Who knew that there could be a pit bull crime story in which the pit bull was the victim??
This crime seems like an excellent foundation for a buddy comedy. The character based on Robert Biss would obviously be the idiot sidekick that our (at least slightly smarter) protagonist would try and fail to keep out of trouble.
The logic behind this crime seriously sounds like the caliber of explanation that my 6 year-old nephew gives me right before I place him in time out:
Biss became concerned that shelter personnel would not approve of his application to adopt the dog, so, when given an opportunity to walk the dog on a leash, Biss placed the dog in his vehicle and stole her from the animal shelter.
I’m guessing that his adoption application is definitely going to be denied now.
I’m a sucker for a good meme, and right now Anti-Joke Chicken is kind of ruling my world.

Guy patron using public computer: “I need your help.”
Me: “Sure, what can I do for you?”
GPUPC: “I really need you to move me to the furthest computer away from [girl patron using public computer]. She’s farting. It smells.”
Me: “Of course.”
Giggle.
These people are both at least a decade and a half older than I am, and this whole exchange/incident cracked me up and released some post-earthquake stress.
