Not Annoying:
Ok, so yesterday I listed a bunch of things that I find annoying. Today, I want to list a few things that I think are awesome:Farting in My Cubicle Just Before Someone Comes to Talk to Me: I never actually get to plan this one out, but I think that makes it all the better. The best I can do is just throw one out there and cross my fingers in anticipation. Will it happen? Is someone going to stop...

Annoying:
Freezing weather this far into April. I know that I live in Minnesota, and I know that it could be worse. In fact, my dad says they got 11 inches of snow including a 5 foot snow drift in their driveway this past weekend. We had about an inch of snow that melted right away.However, I’m still downright angry about this cold bullshit. I’m starting to take it personally, which is odd considering that...

A woman has a close male friend. This means that he is probably interested in her, which is why he hangs around so much. She sees him strictly as a friend. This always starts out with, you’re a great guy, but I don’t like you in that way. This is roughly the equivalent for the guy of going to a job interview and the company saying, You have a great resume, you have all the...

Online Drum Machines (LINK) →
I have recreated some of the Drum Machines from the Audio Playground Museum. The virtual machines run with Shockwave/Flash so if don’t have the flash plugin for your web browser you will not be able to see and run the drum machines. But don’t despair the flash plug-in is free and can be down loaded from the Macromedia...

The longest smoke break of Nicholas White’s life began at around eleven o’clock on a Friday night in October, 1999. White, a thirty-four-year-old production manager at Business Week, working late on a special supplement, had just watched the Braves beat the Mets on a television in the office pantry. Now he wanted a cigarette. He told a colleague he’d be right back and, leaving behind his jacket,...

ANN ARBOR, Mich. — Two middle-school students who started a project to earn a Girl Scout award have ended up rejecting what may be the best known of their organization’s symbols: Girl Scout Cookies.

The Best Bathroom in the World.
I want to start a discussion on this next topic, but since Tumblr doesn’t support comments (seriously, isn’t that feature a no-brainer?), we’ll have to settle for the following. I’ve been ill over the past few days, and without getting into too much detail…ah fuck it, I’ve been puking/shitting my brains out. Which brings us to the following situation: You wake...

Grandma's Marathon Training Update
Current Training Distance: 11.06 Miles Marathon Length: 26.2 Miles Marathon Date: June 21, 2008 (73 Days Remaining) You know, for a while there, I was getting a bit worried that I wouldn’t be able to run the damn thing, but I ran 11 miles last Sunday. Yep, I rock. When is the last time you ran 11 miles? Huh? Yeah that’s what I thought. Punks. PS: I smoked a...
