I’m sorry, but if you consider yourself in anyway versed in Geek Lore, then this should have made you pee.
your mom
One of these days you’re going to make a “YOUR MOM!” joke to your friend online and then you’re actually going to meet your friend’s mom and you and your friend’s mom are really going to hit it off and you and your friend’s mom will go out for coffee and then you and your friend’s mom will meet for dinner and before you know it you and your...

ZERO stars.
27 stars. And counting. Guess why I’m not one of them? That’s right. BECAUSE I SHOULD BE THE ONE DRINKING STARBUCKS.
Sadface.
Don’t you hate it when you make a joke and you find out someone has already made it almost IDENTICALLY.
Whatever you do, don’t do an obsessive online search for every possible variant of every joke you ever have or ever will...

irony
Yesterday morning I went onto Facebook for the first time in a month. The first thing I read was a status update from a junior high school classmate where he said Twitter is a waste of time, followed by a swath of comments from his friends also saying Twitter is a waste of time.

Nothing ignites a “Fine, I’m taking my internet ball and going home” attitude quite like an insufferable pedant who takes joy in pointing out to you that you’re an unskilled hack who possesses less raw talent than the dead skin flakes he sheds off each day.

There’s something I don’t get about anniversaries.
I get the celebration: we’re happy you’re alive, or married, or came to work for us; today’s as good a day as any to throw a party. And I get the commemoration: some things you want to remember, or need to remember, and it might as well be on the date they happened.
But there are things you don’t celebrate, don’t commemorate,...

mah brain
I was thinking about how to construct a personalized license plate that read “I have to pee”. I got as far as “IHAF2P” when I realized it could be mistaken for “I have toupee”. And now men with wigs make me have to pee. Thanks, brain.

“I need catalysts: scars and failing, trying and falling, living and risking, making the wrong move for love, starting down a long road actually headed toward something, facing the blank page, noticing some kind of detail besides changes in my skin and face.”
Yes.
