Towel Day
I missed out this year, damn it. Sooooo unhoopy.
Thank GOD for translation difficulties
Head here for perhaps the most hilarious set of “instructions” for a product ever. Apparently for a DragonballZ toy that hangs from the ceiling and flies around in circles, the wording is simply priceless. You thought “All your base” was good… “Open toy of batteries shuck. Verification batteries. +,- whereafter stow down.to a certainty need locknat [...]
Monday Humor Break
You know, I have this whole huge entry I’ve been diddling with but can’t finish.

I’m curious…
When does evil cross the line from “merely objectionable” to “unspeakable”? I assume there’s some sort of common criteria, no?
Tuesday Tidbits
Random things for your amusement or examination. iSight? Methinks iPorn. “Incredibly long, incredibly tedious, incredibly turgid.” (You know, drop the “tedious” part, and this would have a totally different connotation.) “Watching Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle is like being trapped inside a pinball machine operated by a 6-year-old having a sugar rush.” “It’s like a regular summer camp, but naked.
