Costco hotdogs are amazing.

All 6 Wii U owners are breathing a sigh of relief.

MULCHFEST MOTHERFUCKA!!1!!!!1

serious question. Why don't all movies come out on day 1 on services like this?

Wax lips and a sharpie marker would have gotten the same results. I would have procured these items for half that price.

Better he should have spent that $150k on mental health counseling.

Close: Tartantino is why directors shouldn't act (or attempt Australian accents).

A slingshot that launches a Nine Inch Nail?

But no one on Gawker Media seems to give a fuck about the blatant anti-Semitism coming from Azealia Banks, Iggy's enemy in all this. You just stay outraged at what Jezebel tells you to be outraged about. Why do you hold Banks to a different standard?

When I sold trees in Southern NH and MA, I worked for the son of my boss from my (at the time) summer job at a Flower Shop. The father had sold trees on the side for years, and when the…
