10/4/2011
Sea Captain Date: my that’s niche-y.
9/25/2011

9/21/2011
Wolf Urine Lure: read the one entitled “One for the cellar.” Also, enjoy the reviews for fresh whole rabbit and the Luke Skywalker Ceremonial Jacket.
8/25/2011
8/24/2011
Urban Dictionary – get an inbox: very useful term.
8/23/2011
Hangman’s Rope: read the reviews. Also, if you search for “noose” on Amazon, you get another way to kill yourself.
8/14/2011
Fuck You Yelper: amen!
6/24/2011
8 Facts You Didnt Know About The Ice Cream Man: I did not know that.

Rejected Vacation Postcards: funny!
3/8/2011
A Million Random Digits with 100,000 Normal Deviates: check out the reviews. Hilarious!

Missing Missy: something about this brings me to tears laughing.
7/2/2010
Brett Erlich on Twilight: also, they call it the wrong thing. Twilight bills itself as a vampire movie but they aren’t vampires, aside from the drinking blood and immortality aspects. Similarly, soccer is called football despite its ball being the wrong shape, its goal is on the ground rather than in the air, and its discouragement of tackling.
6/28/2010
“Contra vs. tetris”: funny and clever.
3/15/2010
That’s What Bea Said: I love this take on the meme!

7/15/2009
E-Mails from an Asshole: is this Pranking 2.0? Guy replies to Craigslist ads with absurd earnestness. Luckily, they’re so over-the-top that I don’t see much harm in it.
7/14/2009
Helen Keller Simulator: you need to make it full screen for best results. There’s also a copycat out there.
2/24/2009

1/27/2009
How Many 90 Year Olds Could You Take in a Fight?: I can only take 12 so I’d better stay away from the bigger retirement homes.
1/21/2009
Amazon.com – Uranium Ore: love the comments. Not sure about the actual product since it’s not eligible for Super Saver Shipping, sadly.

6 Baffling Mistakes Every Movie Criminal Makes: Cracked has some really good list entries. Favorite quote: “Cool criminal genius Hans Gruber wants to commit a robbery.

8/13/2008
LOL Olympics: I could not get tired of this meme.
LOLJohnMcCain: this is really good stuff. It’s not particularly incisive in its skewering, but come on.
8/8/2008
