To those I’ve promised postcards: They are coming! I will not let you down! Well, I mean, I probably will, but in different ways.

Congratulations! You’ve done it! I am aware of breast cancer!

Twittering “Skittles” will get you on the Skittles.com homepage. Isn’t that the most underage Latino abortion thing you’ve ever heard?
samreich
“Yo, bro, explaining Burning Man is like trying to explain color to someone who’s blind.” And consequently wishes they were also deaf.

Got a great massage today. It’s like the masseuse knew instinctively that I hold all of my tension in my penis.

I’m at the Bill Murray-decides-to-join-the-army point in my life.

Instead of writing my name on my milk jug in the office fridge, I’m going to start taping on a Polaroid of myself drinking straight from it.

Somehow, I doubt the lady yelling, “GIVE ME MY FREE LATTE, CAUSE KARMA WILL GET YOU IF YOU DON’T, B*TCH,” really gets the concept of karma.

It seems that, no matter how ugly a place may be, it will have “Keep XYZ Beautiful” signs. New Jersey has them. Mordor probably does, too.

They said I was just like a Republican Bill Clinton. Close, but no cigar.
LameBush
I need a woman that “gets” me. Or at least doesn’t think there’s something wrong with me just because I organize my Beanie Babies by phylum.

I don’t care what my psychiatrist says. I’m glad I’m a Jedi.

When Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson bump uglies it must look like two bicycles trying to braid each other’s streamers.

In addition to charging me an extra $50 to sit next to my wife, US Airways will charge $55 for our 3 bags. The CEO must have a heroin habit.

Honestly, calling your paper toilet seat cover brand “Life Guard” seems a little melodramatic.

Open the pod bay door, asshole.

Thinking if we changed the name of “taxes” to “hookers” we might be able to get politicians to pay them.

VH1’s new line up consists of a spin-off of a spin-off, and a spin-off of a spin-off of a spin-off, which is surprisingly creative.

In SF’s city guides, events are grouped by category. Art and museums are lumped into “Art/Museums” while “Jam Bands” is its own thing.

Ah. In that thread, “JEW” was short for “Jimmy Eat World.” Editing my vitriolic reply to your “I FUCKIN’ HATE JEW SONGS” comment posthaste.

I just watched a pot come to a boil and now I’m wondering what other lies I’ve been living.

Deriving my porn alias from my first pet’s name and the street I grew up on, I’d be Munchie Hood. Pretty much guarantees girl-on-girl only.

Obama was able to shower and dress after his workout in 18 minutes. His press conference was 24 minutes. May make 15-minute brownies in 12.

I’d tell my ex to go fly a kite, but he has problems keeping things up.

No ma’am, Wireless-G isn’t a rapper.

Just typed “search resluts” by mistake. Sorta makes sense. Search resluts: when all your searches bring up the same adult content sites.

If you haven’t seen “Crying Game”
STOP READING THIS.
For the rest of us, how insane was it that that girl turned out to be a DUDE?
davidwain
Why doesn’t Krackel challenge CRUNCH’s supremacy in the chocolate-and-crisped-rice space? Why does Hershey’s keep it in the fun-size ghetto?
andrewdupont
Remember, kids, it’s a crime to not film sex you’ve paid for.

Little known fact: Aquaman is peeing in the ocean ALL THE TIME.

I’m giving up for Lent.

Saw a lost dog sign for a shih tzu/Yorkie mix. He’s not lost—he’s hiding, afraid of what you will try to breed him with next.

Upon seeing rampant toddler in mall: Before kid: Control your brat! After: Must plot intercept course, allowing for pull of gumball machine.

Allergy testing confirmed that I am allergic to everything outdoors, including trees, grasses, weeds, and reggae festivals.
