I care more than I care to admit



AND it's raining.  Life is rough.


Would this be a good time to ask for followers?  @ShearerThanYou

YouTube History

Ladies and Gentlemen, I just became the first person in YouTube history to NOT click "Skip Ad".

Watched the whole ad.

And I actually lol'd.

Here's the ad in question (NSFW):


By the way, I hope there wasn't an ad before this ad.  If there was, I'm sorry, and hope it was worth your time.  Here's some pizza-porn to make up for it:

This is why I love dating an English Teacher

Spell-check and Autocorrect have made it way too easy for us to get away with butchering the English language on a daily basis.

This is from a 16-year-old High School Student's English essay, currently being graded by my girlfriend, her teacher.  The essay is about school dress-codes...


I think it's safe to say that "sleeveless shits" are against ALL school dress-codes.

Reminds me of this...


Coming this February: Pancakes


And yes, you are correct... that would be the "Lo-Fi" filter on Instagram.

Notoriously B.I.G. prices in FloRida


Can you even handle this much pun?

Wicked lame.

Hot 96.9's Facebook page just shared this video, a promo for A&E's newest reality show, "Southie Rules".

And I'm a little concerned.

It's not that I worry for how Boston will be portrayed to the rest of the country... We've already strayed too far from having a salvageable national reputation.

Nor am I concerned about their use of the word "wicked".  As a lifelong resident of the Boston area, I can confirm that they are indeed using it in the proper context.

It's more personal than that.  Arguably selfish.  I'm worried that when I continue to use the word "wicked" in my everyday life (as I have since childhood), I'll look like a total douchebag.

See-- If I were to go to New York City today, and ask a random stranger, "Excuse me, Broadway Street is wicked long, how do I find where the hit musical 'Wicked' is playing?", they would probably respond with "OH COOL!  You said 'wicked!'  You must be from Boston!"  Of course, I'd then tip my scally-cap and start a "Yankees Suck" chant through my Sam Adams-soaked beard before confirming, "Why yes, I am!"

NOT ANYMORE.

After the show premiers tonight on A&E, the conversation will go more like this...

"Excuse me, Broadway Street is wicked long--"
"UGHH you watch that awful show?  I'm judging you so hard right now.  You probably also think Pauly D is a legitimate DJ."

For the record, I don't.


Greatest Photobomb of All Time?

At first I thought the term "photobombing" needed explaining, but this picture sums it up pretty well:



The reason I bring up photobombing is because I think this kid may have perfected it.  This picture has been floating around for a while, but it's resurfaced this morning, and for good reason:


This kid deserves recognition for winning the internet.

And while we're at it, I might as well share a photobomb of my own from a party two summers ago:


To this day, I still don't know how I got my face to look like that Muppet...
