NEVER EVER GETS LESS FUNNY.

"My favorite part was when the monkey rode the pig backwards"

Also, why is no one in this video at all fazed by this amazing feat of nature? They just amble along in their crocs, not at all worried about the consequences this unlikely friendship may have. You would think they hadn't seen The Fox and the Hound. Speaking of that movie, I am still unsure whether that owl was male or female.

New Rule:

I'll only post videos of comedians making fun of famous people when they die. Sentimental about death ain't my thing, y'all. RIP Elizabeth. Have fun being weird as shit in Heaven with Michael Jackson.

That's right I said it: Michael Jackson is in Heaven.

Shut up; I don't even believe in Heaven.




But MJ definitely made the cut. He's in Heaven. Hangin' out with dead kids.

from "East of Eden"...

Our species is the only creative species, and it has only one creative instrument, the individual mind and spirit of a man. Nothing was ever created by two men. There are no good collaborations, whether in music, in art, in poetry, in mathematics, in philosophy. Once the miracle of creation has taken place, the group can build and extend it, but the group never invents anything. The preciousness lies in the lonely mind of a man.

And now the forces marshaled around the concept of the group have declared a war of extermination on that preciousness, the mind of man. By disparagement, by starvation, by repressions, forced direction, and the stunning hammerblows of conditioning, the free, roving mind is being pursued, roped, blunted, drugged. It is a sad suicidal course our species seems to have taken.

And this I believe: that the free, exploring mind of the individual human is the most valuable thing in the world. And this I would fight for: the freedom of the mind to take any direction it wishes, undirected. And this I must fight against: any idea, religion, or government which limits or destroys the individual. This is what I am and what I am about. I can understand why a system built on a pattern must try to destroy the free mind, for that is one thing which can by inspection destroy such a system. Surely I can understand this, and I hate it and I will fight against it to preserve the one thing that separates us from the uncreative beasts. If the glory can be killed, we are lost.

Dave Grohl: spittin' truth/holding my heart

What the hell are you talking about.

Now that she's becoming less and less relevant, it's getting a little desperate. Next she'll be claiming that the education system doesn't need any further reform because all our global competition was destroyed in a recent natural disaster.


"NPR, National Endowment for the Arts, National Endowment for the Humanities, all those kind of frivolous things that the government shouldn't be in the business of funding with tax dollars-- those should all be on the chopping block as we talk about the $14-trillion debt that we're going to hand to our kids and grandkids. Yes, those are the type of things that for more than one reason need to be cut."
-Sarah Palin

My favorite youtube comment on the original:

"whatever happened to taking the bus?"



this is how i party (and party yeah)

Hot Dogs

Backstory: Brandon proposed his thesis today. To celebrate, we went to his favorite hot dog place. We were displaying mild PDA while waiting for the owner to take our order.

Hot Dog Place Owner: Heyyy now! I'm back here slingin' hot dogs. I'll be up there in just a second.
Me: I'm up here slingin' hot dogs, too.
Hot Dog Place Owner (shaking head): ughhh family business ughhhhhh...

from "The Awakening" by Kate Chopin:


"The trouble is," sighed the Doctor, grasping her meaning intuitively, "that youth is given up to illusions. It seems to be a provision of Nature; a decoy to secure mothers for the race. And Nature takes no account of moral consequences, of arbitrary conditions which we create, and which we feel obliged to maintain at any cost."

"Yes," she said. "The years that are gone seem like dreams- if one might go on sleeping and dreaming- but to wake up and find- oh! well! perhaps it is better to wake up after all, even to suffer, rather than to remain a dupe to illusions all one's life."
