German People Are Weird
This is a picture of Knecht Ruprecht. Instead of trying to get children to be scared of Santa Clause (der Weihnachtsmann), the Germans created a “dark helper” that would follow St. Nick around and was the bringer of the “gifts” for the bad children. In America, we’re told that if we’re bad we’ll get coal in our stockings. I think I would much rather...

These are all places that I’ll be going to over the next week.
This is the only place I want to be during the next week.

Vimeo Sued By Capitol Records Over Lip Dubs →

I roared with a belly laugh when I read this headline. Could Capitol Records truly be this misguided? Do they not realize that if you were to sort Internet brands by those most emblematic of creativity — not piracy — that Vimeo would line up at the top? Lip-dubbing is harmless and perfectly fun, and ultimately will define the aesthetic of an Internet...

I just finished this book for the third time and it just keeps getting better.

This quote makes me want to read this book.

Ronald Fisher: Beer and pussy. That's all I need.
Sean Smith: We gotta find ourselves a Smurfette.
Ronald Fisher: Smurfette?
Sean Smith: Yeah, not some tight-ass Middlesex chick, right? Like this cute little blonde that will get down and dirty with the guys. Like Smurfette does.
Donnie: Smurfette doesn't fuck.
Sean Smith: That's bullshit. Smurfette fucks all the other Smurfs. Why do you think Papa Smurf made her? Because all the other Smurfs were getting too horny.
Ronald Fisher: No, no, no, not Vanity. I heard he was a homosexual.
Sean Smith: Okay, then, you know what? She fucks them and Vanity watches. Okay?
Ronald Fisher: What about Papa Smurf? I mean, he must get in on all the action.
Sean Smith: Yeah, what he does, he films the gang-bang, and he beats off to the tape.
Donnie: First of all, Papa Smurf didn't create Smurfette. Gargamel did. She was sent in as Gargamel's evil spy with the intention of destroying the Smurf village. But the overwhelming goodness of the Smurf way of life transformed her. And as for the whole gang-bang scenario, it just couldn't happen. Smurfs are asexual. They don't even have... reproductive organs under those little, white pants. It's just so illogical, you know, about being a Smurf. You know, what's the point of living... if you don't have a dick?
Ronald Fisher: Dammit, Donnie. Why you gotta get all smart on us?

Snow makes people revert to a younger age.
I was just outside on beautiful snowy Bascom Hill, 50 yards from my dorm. As soon as I heard that we had a snow day tomorrow, I decided that it would be a great idea to go outside and partake in some frolicking in the snow. A few friends and I decided that the construction of an igloo would be the perfect job for such a snowy night.
We started construction, hoping that four people would be able...

Robert Pattinson Hates His Crazy Fans
Apparently the sea of frenzied, horny lady-fans pawing at Robert Pattinson have finally gotten to the actor. The odd-looking but hunky Twilight star has been constantly hounded by fans since he began shooting Remember Me in the West Village. Security guards can barely protect him from the hoards of horny, screaming, tweenage hipsters, and the actor even had...
