I think because I’m so tired I’m finding everything funny… Earlier tonight, a tornado went right over the headquarters of the National Weather Service, which, among many many other things, tracks tornadoes and tries to predict where they’re going to go. That must have been a fun realization: “Steve, how’s that twister you’re tracking?” “Uh…RUN!” ...

If you watched tonight’s episode of How I Met Your Mother, you will be highly, highly amused by the extremely long, hysterically funny song on this site referenced in the episode (warning: audio loads automatically).

To balance out my bragging in the post below, I thought I’d share a story about how unbelievably stupid I (as well as several other people I shall not name to protect their pride) felt after bar trivia on Thursday. The last question was fairly straightforward: There are twelve state capitals that start with the ...

I saw this in a comment thread on Fark today, and I couldn’t stop laughing for about five minutes afterwards. I don’t know why I found this so goddamn funny, but it still makes me snicker when I look at it.
