That’s My Girl, Asshole: blogger responds to Craigslist Missed Connections to comedic results. {via}

lolpresident: this was inevitable. {via}

“This is What We’ve Become - Woman Pushes Baby on Segway”: wow, that’s some serious laziness. On the other hand, if I paid almost five thousand dollars for a scooter, I’d certainly be using it for everything including going to the refrigerator to grab a soda.

The 100 Fastest Cars: number 31, oh yeah! Two observations: the numbering is not important and what the hell is this thing doing in there? {via}

Hike Database: Wiki for hikers around the world. Just getting started, so it’s a little dodgy.

Star Wars Origami: no force required.

The Onion - “Test-Driving the New Smartphones”: none of them meet the unique reviewer’s requirements.

MINI Cooper Adorned with a Million Swarovski Crystals: it’s fab-u-lous!

Leave It To Beaver - 1958: the actual text of a letter that Ward read.
