The reason you haven’t felt it is because it doesn’t exist. What you call love was invented by guys like me, to sell nylons. You’re born alone and you die alone and this world just drops a bunch of rules on top of you to make you forget those facts. But I never forget. I’m living like there’s no tomorrow, because there isn’t one.

Crocodile


This has three of my favourite things. Crocodiles, Hippos and Rhymes. I read it and I felt better. I hope you do, too! (Left-Handed Toons)

Comics Curmudgeon


This is why I love the Comics Curmudgeon so much.
Oh, God, Tommie’s humiliation is going to be even more delicious than I might have hoped. "Tommie, get out here! What are you wearing, a sweatsuit? You’re letting down everyone, with your ugly clothes! God, you make me want to puke. Let’s turn the house lights up, so you can see everyone’s disgusted faces!"

4th of July


danmeth says:
Hey guys… in honor of the 4th of July, I composed this song with the intention of it replacing our national anthem. Write to your Congressman today to get the word out.
Happy 4th of July, Americans. Sorry I’m a bit late, but it wasn’t until I discovered this novelty song that I truly felt the need to share in your joy.

The Last Airbender Is the Worst Movie


Note from 2022 Rachel: The actual best thing about this day was how hard my brother and I laughed at every terrible moment in the movie; and we continue to laugh about it to this day.

Today I saw the Last Airbender. It is the worst movie. There is nothing enjoyable about it at all. I think Roger Ebert summed it up nicely when he said
"The Last Airbender" is an agonizing experience in every category I can think of and others still waiting to be invented.
There was nothing good about it. The dialogue, the effects, the fact that I had to wear 3D glasses when there was literally nothing 3D about it - it was all horrible.
The best thing about the whole experience was being able to come home and track "the Last Airbender" on Twitter. People’s real-time disgust with the film provided me with a solid ten minutes of entertainment, more than the entire movie.
Then I had pizza for dinner, so all in all a good day.

Blogging is hard. That’s why I posted this comic about blogging on my blog, so I could write about it.

Lamebook 2


Note from 2022 Rachel: That's pretty good, actually


I don’t know why I’ve never thought of this before. Also I’m sad that I genuinely laughed at something on lamebook.com.

Unicorns. They’re Not the Other White Meat.

Unicorns. They’re Not the Other White Meat.
"…the National Pork Board, an organization devoted to pork and related businesses and farms, saw a threat to the national brand of pork, otherwise known as "the other white meat." So the organization sent ThinkGeek a cease-and-desist letter.
ThinkGeek published the letter and offered this apology on its Web site to the board: "We’d like to publicly apologize to the N.P.B. for the confusion over unicorn and pork — and for their awkward extended pause on the phone after we had explained our unicorn meat doesn’t actually exist." - NYTimes.com
