3 Worst Holidays
mollylambert:
a. New Year’s Eve
b. Valentine’s Day
c. The 4th Of July
I’m not saying there aren’t exceptions, and I know some people hate Halloween (I’m not one of them). But seriously. I will take a hundred Arbor Days over these over-hyped partying clusterfucks.
I whole-heartedly agree with the first two. Any holiday that traditionally imposes successful romantic coupling is just way too...

You see what happens when SNL makes fun of him and everybody blogs about it!
Gov. Paterson’s proposed $121 billion budget hits New Yorkers in their iPods - and nickels-and-dimes them in lots of other places, too.
Trying to close a $15.4 billion budget gap, Paterson called for 88 new fees and a host of other taxes, including an “iPod tax” that taxes the sale...

I got an 85% (28/33). I’m qualified to live here! Yay!
Got the same, 28/33. Still don’t get economics, but neither does Greenspan.
32 OUT OF 33 BITCHES!!! (With at least three lucky guesses.) You’re looking at your first gay president.
I am so voting for you, dude. Promise me that Andrew W.K. will be the poet at your inauguration.

I got 11 out of 15.
Then we are tied sir.
Three-way tie. We need a tiebreaker. Or we would, if we were competiting. I guess we can all share the imaginary trophy.

Salsa Fucked
This phenomenon occurs when dining at a Mexican restaurant with a large group and the salsa is not distributed evenly throughout the table. The areas of the table that do not have adequate amounts of salsa are Salsa Fucked.
Example: “Jeff, all of the salsa is at the other end of the table, yo.”
“I know - we got Salsa Fucked.”

On boredom

The neat thing about Great Barrington is that, for a small town, it has a great quantity of specialty stores. There is a piano store, a quilting supply store, and a store that sells custom-made trophies. There’s also a toy store— maybe not a specialty, but far from necessary.

Seriously, this is awesome.
