The shoemaker's barefoot wife
In other words, man saves 11,000 couples from divorcing, but can't save himself. Sad.

I hope y'all didn't shell out for that Coincidence Design service
Boy, is this thing fake. The "owner," a hostile liar named Nick who refuses to give a last name, put down the contact phone number for a car dealership in my town (hah!) and claimed to live in Dallas. He admits to making all of that shit up to get customers.

Hipster poorness in the layoff era
Now it's cool to not get paid and be able to sit around all day and go to museums and not push yourself the way you have been since you were six years old.

Makes you wonder, doesn't it?
An account of a woman fighting for her black belt, who doesn’t fall down (like the guys there did) and fights injured, yet (a) doesn’t get cheered on and (b) doesn’t get her belt. Ouch.

Coverage of the infamous pretzel, throughout the globe. Sadly, that's not a joke.
Oh please, aren’t we making just a bit TOO MUCH of the damn pretzel thing? He choked a bit, he’s not dead. Big whoopety-doo-dah deal.
And now that that's said... I'll be a hypocrite and link you to the pretzel game. Takes forever to get an actual pretzel, but he turns blue and hits the deck when he does. Whee! I almost unerringly hit the cheese ball (occasionally the broccoli) every time. You can’t really eyeball it in the shell game.
How to eat a pretzel. The troubleshooting section is the best part.

Ah, so that's what happened to Ironminds
Why does this give me "beginning of the end" vibes? Are they even going to have original content any more? Or maybe it's just the use of the word "portal" that gives me the vibes, as anywhere I know of that's wanted to set up a portal in the last year has tanked.

Sigh. A return to the days when a good fraction of the TV show was about plugging a product...
which will these days probably be known as "Showfomercials." And here I'd hoped those died out in the days when Burns and Allen were still on the air.
By the way, anyone remember when I used to be completely obsessed with ads and griped about this sort of thing all the time before there was a war on? Those were the days...

The Guide to Geek Girls
What's interesting here to me is the geek girl's take on sci-fi, and how um, I guess I'm a bit different from the rest of them. I've never seen Ivanova (so no verdict there);
I don't really have any opinion on Harry because he doesn't do much, but don't think Tom is a pig at all (hey, he and B'Elanna are cute. Shut up.); Mulder's cute as long as he doesn't open his mouth because he has a very boring voice; and I prefer Kirk to Spock because Kirk makes me break out into giggles a lot.
That said, I heart that Voyager had a female captain, and I heart Han Solo.

Adolescence at 26? It's up for debate...
All about how nowadays instead of going to work at the age of 15 and marrying at 16, people go to high school and college and can't get jobs and have to sponge off their parents (ah, this hits home) and thus can't exactly do the 100 percent Traditional Adult Thing by the time they hit 22.

And I have to say that I love this Buffy site. Hilarious and well-written, and the author hates Darla like I do and for the same reasons. Excellent taste ;)

It’s interesting comparing who got what. Former winners haven’t gotten much extra, while lesser monied players have received a little (Kelly got Tom’s raccoon penis!) to a lot (Brandon’s a swag whore, apparently).
Pop Politics called it on Ethan and Kim, didn’t they?Incidentally, vegetarian, my ass!

Honestly, I don't even know what to say about this.
On the one hand, I understand the need to show different ethnicities, but on the other hand, that's losing the original authenticity that the photo inspired (plus if I was one of the guys in it, I'd be upset that I wasn't in it any more). Maybe the best compromise would be to be vague on the faces/ethnicities in the statue, but that's kinda cheap.

Crapping Popes, nuns and angel statues. In Nativity scenes. I'm not kidding.
I also laughed at New Year's resolutions you'd love to hear.
And apparently my New Year's resolution should be "to seduce as many people as possible." No thanks, I've had enough of that :P

Remington Steele as Bridget Jones

I love these. Favorites include "O-100 hits in a year and a half," "To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism. To steal from many is blogging," "87% of all entries are made up on the spot," "Almost famous blogger," "I blogged at the office," "I'm just blogging this way to piss you off," "That's another fine blog you got me into," "Work is for people who don't know how to blog," "Had a life. Got a blog," and "If a blog updates, and nobody reads it, is it really there?"

When breaking up is hard to do, call 1-800-WEDUMPM
Ah, yet another one of those wacky Japanese stories, where they have industries nobody else does. In this case, you can pay (big bucks) to have them break up with someone for you. At first I'm all "Hey, that sounds great! I hate breaking up!", but no, it's much more evil than that. I pity the poor fool who was lured into catching "an embarrassing disease" and then blackmailed about it. (For his sake, I hope it wasn't a permanent disease.)
There are a few amusing but depressing quotes, though, such as "Men can always be seduced if the woman operative is reasonably good-looking. That's an absolute. Men are basically simpletons," and "Love is never forever for Japanese men if it starts costing too much."
Seriously, I've found a bunch of insane Japanese stories lately, most are quite disgusting.
Moms giving their sons blow jobs and strip shows so they'll do better in school is apparently pretty common. Maybe that's what led to fortune telling fellatio. Um, right... There's also the over 80 Japanese hooker. There’s one story of a love triangle in which the guys wheel out for a fight and one ends up unconscious. And you don’t want to be gorgeous in Japan either.
Just to prove that I'm not only picking on the Japanese,
Koreans are paying waiters in clubs to fix them up. Guys pick only, of course. And in Australia, men get sex parties as bonuses.
