“Lifetime Orders Amish Crime Drama Film/Backdoor Pilot Starring Neve Campbell”
Amish is so hot right now. Amish is the new going green. Are these veggies Amish? Were they grown without the use of electricity and harvested by a man who doesn’t believe in clothes with buttons?
Weird Al Yankovic did it before it was cool.

I’m talking about the individual US citizen’s deep fear, the same basic fear that you and I have and that everybody has except nobody ever talks about it except existentialists in convoluted French prose. Or Pascal. Our smallness, our insignificance and mortality, yours and mine, the thing that we all spend all our time not thinking about directly, that we are tiny and at the mercy of large...

of the day (ha if by “day” I mean “late/early ass-bitch whore taint of the morning” then, yeah.), the fact that I made it through a ten-and-a-half hour shift without firebombing the cockeyed fuck out of my place of employ is a testament to my super-human patience and goodwill.
‘Tis all.

Surviving and Succeeding at Evading the Police →
You pretty much can’t, is the answer. At least, I’m not going to. Either way, this will be helpful for planning your next bank heist.
Also interesting is the former patrol officer’s response:
Your chosen city of flight may have the rattiest squad cars in the country, but they have the distinct benefit of redundancy. Your escape vehicle is precious, because there is only one....

Dropping Neuroscience →
n a 2008 paper called The Seductive Allure of Neuroscience Explanations, a group from Yale University demonstrated that including neuroscientific information in explanations of psychological phenomena makes the explanations more appealing, even if the neuroscientific info is irrelevant.
Explanations of psychological phenomena seem to generate more public interest when they contain...

zoobunny:
And I look at it and think:
1) That looks uncomfortable.
2) Why would anyone be sexually aroused by that move? I would just fold my arms and say, “What are you doing?”
3) Apparently other people only have sex in black and white. Do I need to get my eyes checked?
4) At least I’m not in a library or at my parents’ house.
As for being at the library, it seems your remark is...

I was walking downstairs this evening
and my roommate’s cat (Yossarian) ran down in front of me, causing me to stumble in order to avoid stepping on him. This is not the first time this kind of behavior has occurred, in fact it’s becoming a trend with the little bastard. And it’s been annoying me for weeks. This was the first time, however, my quick-footedness didn’t succeed, save in causing me to step on the...

I was perusing my spam mail
because sometimes I find it entertaining. I was pleased to find, in my inbox, an advertisement for a website called MilfBerry (Mother Knows Best). Their tagline is “MILFy minxes for handsome hotties”. Which made me laugh aloud.

It makes me angry
when I look at the “Taxes and Deductions” box on my pay stub. Right. Because I can afford to hand over 28% of my check. Here’s to a week of Ramen and “quitting smoking”.

The Playboy Club
zoobunny:
I watched the pilot for The Playboy Club. That seriously has to be one of the worst pilots ever. Making this show good should have been EASY, but it’s terrible.
Really? I saw an ad for it before the previews for Drive and I thought it looked like it might be a sort of Mad Men except with Playboy. Which is to say, derivative but good.
Should have been easy, I agree.
Hitchens on the death penalty →
And then it hit me. I had been hammering on an open door. Nobody had been bothering to argue that the rope or the firing squad, or the gas chamber, or “Old Sparky” the bristle-making chair, or the deadly catheter were a deterrent. The point of the penalty was that it was death. It expressed righteous revulsion and symbolized rectitude and retribution. Voila tout! The reason why the United...
zoobunny asked: Okay. I trust you on this. I started reading and had one of those "what the hell am I reading?" moments.

I don't know how it happened, really
but I guess some dudes called up 200 people who’s job it is to make us laugh and asked them about their comedic inspiration, which yielded this list of 100 Best Comedy Movies. Some personal favorites from the list: Brazil
Arsenic and Old Lace
Clerks
The King of Comedy

So I've been writing something
over the past month or so that’s been really grooving for me. I’m starting to get proud of it, and here in the past week, specifically, I’ve actually looked forward to working on it at least a little every day. I don’t often like to talk about writing things, because as much as I don’t care about what people think, I really do care about what people think and I...

That awkward moment when the only person you actually like at work is teaching you how to do something, and you’re pleased because you believe you two are friends, but then he makes comments about how good your body looks in that dress you’re wearing, etc. It was his last day at work so he decided to say whatever he felt like. Then your face turns red and sad because you thought you...

I just spent at least four minutes in the bathroom
making myself laugh from funny expressions I was making in the mirror. The perfect end to a a day off, I think. And I get another one tomorrow.
