Stuff I found that was funny.
Two weeks ago, Matt Taibbi wrote an impressive article using A.I.G. as an anecdote for the failure of the economy.
Last week, one of the most e-mailed articles in the New York Times was the resignation letter of an A.I.G. Financial Products executive, Jake DeSantis.
So, of course, he had to respond.
Oh my! :-O
Reading a friend’s blog via vanity feed, I thought…
Whee! Me!
I don’t know how many times I’ve successfully argued a woman into dating me. Let me think about it…
I guess I’ll have to go with “None.”
I don’t know why I have bad luck. I’m very intelligent, I’m great in bed, I make great money. Believe it or not, I’m a complete catch. 🙁
Perhaps I need to be a little on the chubby side?
Don’t worry, Ladies of the Internet (pref. Nihonese), I’ll wait while you look up passive-aggressive personality disorder. 😀

While reading the comments on Balloon Juice:
“…and it takes 35 minutes to get from Erect to Climax, in NC.”
Really?
I got a mysterious package and opened it. No, it wasn’t a unabomb, but some megalulz instead:
The book is from lulzftw, and is a best-of collection of lolcats—slightly disappointed that there are no lolgeeks. 😀
Mai awesum benny faktor tells me they’re having a book release party and photowalk later this month in San Francisco.
I think I’ll make one and give my book to the first person who asks (and I have it on me).
Make the events and you can has (mai or ur) bookz, too! 🙂

Well, Yahoo! Open Hackday has come and gone, and I’m still avoiding telling my Dave Filo story, so I suppose it won’t hurt to mention a fun pre-hackday hack I saw last August.
When the hackday registration page went up, it looked like this:
Notice the sample fields in grey? The one for the URL reads http://jrandomhacker.com/coolproject. If you go to that URL you will see the following…

I occasionally like to delve into works of graphical fiction:
After a discussion of Steven Colbert’s seven deadly words, a conversation overheard:
Husband: “Take any African word and it basically sounds like a euphemism for ‘breasts.’”
Wife: “Like what?”
“Uhh, Bazoombas,” he extemporizes with a smile.
