We Should See Other Blogs

This is the funniest thing I’ve read all day:

So many comments by analysts and armchair politicians seems to reflect a certain mindset that Google is so blindingly stupid that they bought YouTube for 1.65 billion after a six-week bender, and now their lawyers are crapping their Dockers screaming “oh crap, I forgot! We could get sued!”

Indeed. Remember that Google is full of people who are mostly smarter than you could ever dream of becoming. As is Microsoft. And Apple. And Pixar. Just not the executive branch of the US goverment.

Dang, today is doing well! Quoth Pitchfork:

Ever since The Joshua Tree, way too many bands have tried matching the self-proclaiming transcendence that plenty of otherwise reasonable people find in U2 anthems. New Fat Cat signees the Twilight Sad do to every would-be “With or Without You” what Jimi Hendrix did to “The Star-Spangled Banner”.

I love whoever wrote that with all my heart.

Becka: “I’ve got a headache in my eye!”

Anonymous: “Relationships are great, but sometimes they suck. Like right now, it sucks. I mean, it’s amazing, but it sucks, you know?”

Stu (with little yellow forklift): “This is a fifteen hundred pound machine.”
Me: “Don’t drop it.”

Me: “No, really Steve, that $88 goes towards us flushing the toilet every day. It’s called ‘overhead’ ironically enough.”
