OKStupid
So if you haven’t seen it yet, this (http://gizmodo.com/5833787/my-brief-okcupid-affair-with-a-world-champion-magic-the-gathering-player) is basically an ugly bitch’s rant about how nerds should be easily identifiable, like foreigners – maybe with nametags or arm patches or some sort of funky accent that makes you want to shout “LEARN HOW TO SPEAK LIKE A REAL PERSON.”
What really gets me about...
Folly of Faults
It’s always awkward when you make a mistake. Even more so when someone has to politely point this out to you. But by far, it is most awkward when you’re not mistaken and it’s getting increasingly harder to be polite as you defend your position.
I was supposed to hang out with a friend this Saturday. I asked him, “Hey man, what you are up to on Saturday?” He tells me...
I'm So Not Drunk
…is the anthem of every drunken friend ever. In the history of all time. And of being drunk.
Randomly at work, I get struck by a memory. It has NOTHING to do with anything I was seeing or thinking of. Rather than something triggering the memory, it felt more like a random burst of memory.

Steps to Riverdance??
Whenever a guy goes down a set of stairs (like, say, in a subway…so you can pretty much tell where this post was born haha) and he’s not out-right running, I noticed it looks like some disorganized, chaotic Riverdance. Torso straight up, looking forward, but feet flap-flapping down the stairs. I suppose if you transported that guy, made sure he kept flap-flapping, and put him on an...
No Homo. Not to be racist... Not that there's...
Is probably the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. Followed closely by “Not to be racist, but…” or my favorite “Not that there’s anything wrong with that…!!!”
It’s like a red flag that says: Incredibly homoerotic supposedly “heterosexual guys” trying to be “Funny” by doing something no gay man (self-respecting or...
