What they mean...
What they say: “I would take care of that but you seem to have a specific system and I don’t want to mess it up.”
What they mean: “I like what you are doing and how you are doing it, but will not either directly compliment you by verbalizing this feeling or indirectly compliment you by doing it myself in the same efficient, common sense way you have shown is much better...

Obligatory Friday-Themed April Fools Prank of the Day: Rebecca Black takes over the Funny or Die homepage, littering it with exclusive interviews, spoofs, remixes, and all manner of self-aware shtick necessary to finally drive this meme six feet under.

Finally, a reasonable goal I can’t possibly obsess over.

This is really worth a look if you, like I, are obsessed with what people carry around with them. My favorite? Probably the drummer with the Kabar.

Dad: The good news is that I am just two days away from regaining my title as Mayor of Panera Bread…as long as that little bitch Matt keeps his skanky ass out of here.
Ricky Gervais, Will Arnett to guest star in 'The... →
Still hoping for a David Brent replacement of Michael. But, Will Arnett? That would be pretty awesome too. Especially if he played his Bluth character.

Signs you might have a 'work spouse' - CNN.com →
Interesting article. As I read this my viewpoint bounced from “this is wrong and borderline unfaithful” to “nah, it’s pretty cool.” I guess I settled on pretty cool. I wonder if anyone would criticize this as “unfaithful” if the people were friends of the same sex.
Computer spanks humans on Day 2 of 'Jeopardy!' -... →
I don’t know who said it but it has always stuck in my mind: Computer are really quite dumb because they can only count to one. They just do it really, really fast.

“I hate the thing that made me relevant again.” —Billy Ray Cyrus
He should be ashamed. Everyone else saw when this Miley thing went off the rails: the photo shoot with Vogue that bordered on child porn. He either didn’t see it (and is stupid) or didn’t care because he wanted the money (and he is a greedy douchebag). The soul patch does make a convincing argument...
Borders - Google Search →

'Never missed a Super Bowl' member dies at age 79 →
Hopefully I will never have to see this ad or hear about these guys again. All the same, it is sad that he had to end his streak right before he died.

What's depressing me today... →
I have been watching the Twitter #sixwordnovels disinegrate over the last few months (has it been months?). The idea, of course, comes from Hemingway’s insistence that the fewer words the better and his proof that a very compelling story could be told in only six words: “For sale. Baby shoes. Never worn.”
The strange tweeters on Twitter, however, have served up some of the...
