To those I’ve promised postcards: They are coming! I will not let you down! Well, I mean, I probably will, but in different ways.

zolora

Congratulations! You’ve done it! I am aware of breast cancer!

youngamerican

Twittering “Skittles” will get you on the Skittles.com homepage. Isn’t that the most underage Latino abortion thing you’ve ever heard?

samreich

“Yo, bro, explaining Burning Man is like trying to explain color to someone who’s blind.” And consequently wishes they were also deaf.

AinsleyofAttack

I’m at the Bill Murray-decides-to-join-the-army point in my life.

I like Brazilian food. You almost never find hair in it.

MODAT

Instead of writing my name on my milk jug in the office fridge, I’m going to start taping on a Polaroid of myself drinking straight from it.

Remiel

If I seduce it, really get it going, then leave it alone for ten minutes, maybe this paper will finish itself.

katefeetie

A Tulsa, OK, boy made a suicide pact with a well-known radio host, a pact that only one would keep. And now you know the rest of the story.

strutting

Somehow, I doubt the lady yelling, “GIVE ME MY FREE LATTE, CAUSE KARMA WILL GET YOU IF YOU DON’T, B*TCH,” really gets the concept of karma.

summerjane

It seems that, no matter how ugly a place may be, it will have “Keep XYZ Beautiful” signs. New Jersey has them. Mordor probably does, too.

jonathaneunice

They said I was just like a Republican Bill Clinton. Close, but no cigar.

I need a woman that “gets” me. Or at least doesn’t think there’s something wrong with me just because I organize my Beanie Babies by phylum.

ttseco

When Lindsay Lohan and Samantha Ronson bump uglies it must look like two bicycles trying to braid each other’s streamers.

Tinu

In addition to charging me an extra $50 to sit next to my wife, US Airways will charge $55 for our 3 bags. The CEO must have a heroin habit.

Just saw a white guy dancing and thought, “What a dork.” Then realized it was a black guy and thought, “Y’know, he’s actually pretty good.”

Honestly, calling your paper toilet seat cover brand “Life Guard” seems a little melodramatic.

crispycracka

Open the pod bay door, asshole.

It’s so cold today that the local flasher was caught *describing* himself to women.

penfabulous

Thinking if we changed the name of “taxes” to “hookers” we might be able to get politicians to pay them.

TerryBain

johnprocopio

You never see anyone covered in soot these days. Where did it all go?

rccoomedy

I just realized Chewbacca carries a purse.

So Christopher Robin finally grew up & moved to West Hollywood?

BillCorbett

The condoms I use are so sensitive, they stick around to talk to the chick for an hour after I leave.

The worst thing about “We Didn’t Start the Fire” is that what finally sends Billy Joel over the edge is the Pepsi Challenge.

VH1’s new line up consists of a spin-off of a spin-off, and a spin-off of a spin-off of a spin-off, which is surprisingly creative.

In SF’s city guides, events are grouped by category. Art and museums are lumped into “Art/Museums” while “Jam Bands” is its own thing.

missionmission

One of you people has stolen my brain, and I want it back raight naow bfoor tinghs gtt ny wurs

warrenellis

Ah. In that thread, “JEW” was short for “Jimmy Eat World.” Editing my vitriolic reply to your “I FUCKIN’ HATE JEW SONGS” comment posthaste.

youhas

I just watched a pot come to a boil and now I’m wondering what other lies I’ve been living.

GorillaSushi

Deriving my porn alias from my first pet’s name and the street I grew up on, I’d be Munchie Hood. Pretty much guarantees girl-on-girl only.

Aimee_B_Loved

Obama was able to shower and dress after his workout in 18 minutes. His press conference was 24 minutes. May make 15-minute brownies in 12.

spdracerx

I’d tell my ex to go fly a kite, but he has problems keeping things up.

lindstifa

No ma’am, Wireless-G isn’t a rapper.

Just typed “search resluts” by mistake. Sorta makes sense. Search resluts: when all your searches bring up the same adult content sites.

johntunger

Why doesn’t Krackel challenge CRUNCH’s supremacy in the chocolate-and-crisped-rice space? Why does Hershey’s keep it in the fun-size ghetto?

andrewdupont

Remember, kids, it’s a crime to not film sex you’ve paid for.

My tits look awesome when I pick them up off the floor and put them in a bra.

If I had a corn maze, I’d call it “The Corn Maize”! That’s probably why they won’t let me have a corn maze.

There’s a line between metrosexual and homosexual that you’re walking your dog right past, sir.

Little known fact: Aquaman is peeing in the ocean ALL THE TIME.

fancycwabs

I’m giving up for Lent.

ladawn

Saw a lost dog sign for a shih tzu/Yorkie mix. He’s not lost—he’s hiding, afraid of what you will try to breed him with next.

poeks

Upon seeing rampant toddler in mall: Before kid: Control your brat! After: Must plot intercept course, allowing for pull of gumball machine.
