I loved this stuff as a kid. I can't conceive of playing with these things as a 33-year old man, though.

I watched that video and marvelled at how weirdly she swung that club.

Ooooh! Checkmate!

Damn, gotta clean the monitor now. (Pepsi)

This is the funniest griefing I’ve ever seen:

But isn't America the best country in the world?

The weird lines made me go against my first instinct that it was swimwear and assume it had to be lingerie.

It means that we can feel good about ourselves as Americans. Because this group of strangers were able to kick a ball into a net more times than another group of strangers. We can take the glory that they achieved and smear it onto ourselves so that we don't feel bad about our own lack of achievement.

Why is there always a little smiling face in the corner of the TV screen? Is that the narrator?

Did you go to Subway later to cheer yourself up?

He should have been a gentlemen and said: “Ok, man, any way you want it....”

Who says they never publish good news anymore?

Maybe I've been a social worker too long, but items 2 And 3 on your list seem like the most mundane-ass fauxhemian hipster douchebag horseshit that could ever be discussed at all.

It’s sad that parents don’t have more interesting things to talk about than mundane baby products. I wonder if parents from past centuries would find this just as bizarre as I do.

If you want to emphasize your class distinctions, there has to be a funnier way of doing it than by having a baby and spending a fortune on it.

We’ve lost true friendship and have been given something way crappier: the Facebook friend. Near-total strangers with whom we share every last little boring jot of minutiae the moment it happens.

Take the guns and the gas from the cops. Turn them out on foot with batons if necessary, but let them work in the community the way London bobbies used to, without firearms. Then they would have to start interacting with people face-to-face, and maybe, just maybe, they would start acting like human beings, not killing…

It is a stunning example of feminism devouring itself.

Honest question: have baby bumps always been tabloid fodder, or is it a post-2000 thing?

This news makes me so happy. Makes me feel like a kid again for some reason. If this news broke back in 1993, I'd have relished telling it to everyone at school who liked Nintendo.
