"It seems a bit strange to me that the media carefully warn about and label any content that involves sex, violence or strong language — but there’s no similar labelling system for, say, sloppy journalism and other questionable content. I figured it was time to fix that, so I made some stickers. I’ve been putting them on copies of the free papers that I find on the London Underground. You might want to as well."

I guess it’s 20 years old now


Flap Flap Flapping my Albatross wings!
More Clone High. (Also I just realized that this show was made in 2002, which means it’s already 8 years old.)

Familial Tweets


me: you should clarify the font and not the paper-like material.
Adam: Maybe I just really hate fucking pre-paper. Use regular paper, Egyptians. What, are you too good for us?

(Simple) New Years Resolutions

Note from 2022 Rachel: all the links below are dead; "booth" is a reference to a site called the daily booth which essentially just allowed you to post selfies and nothing else.


  1. Write something real two or three times a week.
  2. Procrastinate less when I know I have work to do.
  3. Tweet more, tumble more, booth more.
  4. Keep positive (rather than just keeping calm) and carry on.
  5. Be internet famous.

Is it exhausting being so awesome?

Is it exhausting being so awesome?
-Barbara
Yes it is, Barbara. The weight of my awesomeness is a heavy load to bear. It’s like wearing a backpack full of rocks and trying to run uphill as fast as I can. In the snow. And inspirational music is playing in the background, but I can’t hear it because my ears are too full of my own splendor.

Catching up on Hyperbole and Half, a blog that makes me happy and brings super joy to my life. You should read it, if you don’t.

Simpsons Quotes


Lisa: Dad, what’s a Muppet?
Homer: Well, it’s not quite a mop and it’s not quite a puppet… but man (laughs). So to answer your question, I don’t know.
Bart: Why did they make that one Muppet out of leather?
Marge: That’s not a leather Muppet, that’s Troy McClure. Back in the ’70s he was quite the teen heartthrob.

You Lack Bread

Stranger: You are in a room with exits north and south. There is a table with a piece of paper on it. What do you do?
You: doodle on the paper for a bit.
Stranger: You have no pen.
You: i always have a sharpie.
Stranger: You pull your trusty Sharpie out of your pocket and doodle some rabbits on the paper.
Stranger: The original writing is now obscured by fluffy tails.
You: cool. now i think i’ll take a nap.
Stranger: You lie down on the carpet and close your eyes.
You: snooze
Stranger: Time passes.
Stranger: Soon, you wake up, feeling well-rested, but sore.
You: i have to pee. is there a bathroom or a chamber pot or something around?
Stranger: You look around, but find nothing.
You: sigh. i guess i’ll go out the north exit in search of a toilet.
Stranger: You walk through north exit. Inside, you find a fridge with a toaster duct-taped to the side.
You: sweet! does it make toast?
Stranger: The toaster appears to work.
You: awesome. then i’ll play with it by shooting the toast across the room.
Stranger: You lack bread. However, to amuse yourself, you press the lever and listen as it springs up.
You: why do i always lack bread? dammit, i knew i should’ve got some when i was at the store.
Stranger: Well, when we knocked you out and brought you here, we took away all bread you had.
You: you bastards.
You: is there any food in the fridge?
Stranger: Inside the fridge, you find some bread, a stick of butter, and a frozen leprechaun.
You: SO I DON’T LACK BREAD AFTER ALL.
Stranger: Well, now you don’t.
You: i’ll make a leprechaun sandwich on toast.
Stranger: You toast the bread and place the leprechaun in between the slices.
Stranger: Leprechaun sandwich had been added to INVENTORY.

People have claimed for centuries that they know when the Rapture is coming, but this time, someone’s finally got it right.

People have claimed for centuries that they know when the Rapture is coming, but this time, someone’s finally got it right. They even have billboards and bumper stickers to prove it! The billboards are produced by supporters of a Christian network called Family Radio Inc., and they’ve set up a website to spread the Good Word, WeCanKnow.com. … But how do they really know? Because Family Radio’s founder, Harold Camping, says so. From The Tennessean:
"According to Camping’s prediction, the Rapture will happen exactly 7,000 years from the date that God first warned people about the flood. …
Since one day equals 1,000 years for God, that means there was a 7,000-year interval between the flood and rapture."
