What would be your porn name?
It’s your first pet and the street you grew up on.
ie, mine is Babette Courtland.
I’m glamorous.
Thanks for answering. :)

I have to say I like how the last sentence has very little, almost absolutely, nothing to do with the article as a whole.

How do you write?

whytluda:
all this cursive talk has got me wondering, how do you write?
i’m a printer, with no mix of cursive. and i write very small. magnifying glass small.
All caps, slightly stylized with a backwards tilt.
Illegible mix of of print and cursive with backwards and forward tilts depending on my mood. I do write fairly small though, that is one thing that is consistent. I wonder...

Meth Minute Mondays: P-COK
It’s all about peacocks, specifically one named P-Cok. Ever notice how peacocks get all the girls? It must be the feathers. Play on playa.
I knew I had tapped into something big when, months later, I was at this random bakery in Canada and the girl behind the counter was singing all the words of this song. True story.
Probably my favorite Meth Minute ever.

Re: Gorman and Reality TV Editing
menstrom:
I agree with you totally when you say most of the drama is amped up through the editing process. In fact, the girl said a lot of it is set-up, and I’m certain the producers have as much of a say as to who stays and who goes as the dude. My question is: Do you think a camera crew could follow you around for a day and edit it down to a one-hour TV episode rife with drama and suspense?

Why I Watch The Bachelor...
menstrom:
About two weeks before the first episode aired, my roommate came home and informed me his dental hygienist was a contestant on The Bachelor. He said she was hot and swore she was hitting on him, so I watched the first episode with. As it turns out, the girl is crazy. Yeah, she’s the creeper who knew the dude’s birthday—which, coincidentally, is also mine. Although not as good as...

– An excerpt from the GREATEST COLLEGEHUMOR ARTICLE EVER WRITTEN
I'm not sure exactly what to think about this site →
I can’t tell if this is some form of subversive comedy where the joke is that it’s so horribly done and not funny that it is funny or it’s actually someone who honestly is trying to make a humor website and it’s just sad. Either way it’s hilarious.

– charlie57 in a comment on this article. He does have a point, though: Kansas City is pretty loose. (via menstrom)
Actually according to this list, it’s not that loose, at least not in the top 10. Also I can’t wait to move to #1 on that list, and bring the average down.

I am this close to flipping my shit. The Defensive Coordinator better be fired within 24 hours.
(See below).
As an Iowa fan, I have mixed feelings. On one hand it’s tough to see another Big 11 team get embarrassed, but on the other hand it’s fun to see OSU in pain.
Regardless, that had to be the worst defensive call in the history of football, how can you not have...

The official trailer for Crank 2: High Voltage was released this week — at long last.
The original Crank, which was released during the great hyper-real action movie wave of 2005-06 (along with other fantasy action flicks Shoot ‘Em Up, 300, Sin City and Smokin’ Aces), had a refreshingly simple plot: Injected with a unique poison, a hit-man must keep...
