True Tolkien devotees have of course read his masterwork, “The Favicon.”

Pet review: cat collar bells. Easy to care for and feed, but you may need to buy a cat to tell where it is.

TheAmazingKim

I just love walking. I guess you could call me a pedophile.

Jewish kids have classes on the ways people have tried to kill us. Latest cause? The length of the classes.

Whole lotta begatting.

HotAmishChick

There is nothing more infuriatingly depressing than a stale fortune cookie.

jagosaurus

Son fell asleep on the couch watching “Nemo,” so I paused it on the sharks and scooted the couch within 6” of the flat screen. Now we wait.

PSA idea for DC motorists: “Honking and You: Practical vs. Wanton”

If I am able to finish this tweet, then this is the slowest cashier in the world. Dum dee dum. Ba ba ba. Do do do. La la la. Gleep glop.

I think people are more violently opposed to fur than leather because it’s so much safer to harass rich bitches than motorcycle gangs.

LucyRcardo

Go ahead, say “Fat Tuesday” but in 15 years, successful Tuesday’s going to friend you on Facebook and you’re going to feel like a huge jerk.

GorillaSushi

Just knocked a Twix loose from the vending machine with sheer brute force. As usual, the entire office pretends to be unimpressed.

Crutches are cool if you think of them as Auto-Tune for walking.

expat_erin

“These people are not aware of my awesomeness. I should probably lean out the window of my limo and screech.”

Boss affectionately referred to the 5th and 6th shots of tequila as “team building.” By end of day we could have started a sports league.

bethylefty

I came down with a case of veganism last week, but the doctor gave me some cream for it.

TheAmazingKim

On a scale of 1–10 how pathetic is it if I go out alone? Ok, well, how about if I take off this shirt that says, “Looking for a baby daddy”?

frostinglickr

Anyone else get paranoid as a kid thinking that they may not have said “amen” at the end of a prayer and that God was still listening?

I’m getting too old for this. Soon I’ll need each of you to remember what you did to piss me off. Maybe write it down, pin it to your coat.

Mike_ FTW

I wonder what would happen if I mailed my landlord a check for $1 less. This could be the beginning of a very dangerous social experiment.

Really, those Virgin planes look so much like a bad club you expect the stewardesses to roofie your in-flight beverage service.

Three-Card Monte Python is when you get taken for $60 and then a 16-ton weight is dropped on your head.

Still a little bitter that Yahoo! didn’t go with my suggestion of “Fuckin’ A!” at the naming meeting.
