the best of other people's stuff on the internet in bite-size hilarity morsels that my brain can safely handle...

"failure is not a marketable product, no matter how much of a surplus you've built up."

"surprisingly, using a massive tragedy and epic loss of life as a cute tie in to raise money for yourself doesn't go over well with a lot of people (just ask the girl scouts about their infamous holocaust cookies)."

"putting a baby in a safe place, even if it looks like a cage, at least keeps him away from the machete drawer."

"...morphing from an incredibly chinese child to a skin tone that has only been achieved by asians who are dead and under a flood light."
