Snobby people always say things like “the book was better” and “I liked their first album” as a way to sound more interesting. In recognition of that idea, here’s an idea my friend Jarrod and I have for a t-shirt (if it was the early 2000’s, it would be black with white text on it):… Continue reading A t-shirt for Hipsters

Two-Party System
I tried making this into an album cover for an imaginary [punk] band, but I hated all my ideas. Instead, here’s a photo I’m just calling, Two-Party System: Any ideas for band and/or album names for this? Let’s see them in the comments. Maybe I’ll do something fun if I get enough ideas.
A Weird Drug Dealer
A brief introduction: For awhile now, I’ve kept an ever-growing list of things thought up by my friends and I in my phone.

The other day I wrote about a couple of words that are hard to translate into other languages (and hinted at a second part). Well today, I talk about a word from a list of, 5 More Difficult Words to Translate, from ALTA Language Services. To English speakers, this word will seem common and the word… Continue reading What is it that you mean? (Part 2)
I’m Voting Republigum!
I bought this from a candy store, called Sugar Heaven, a couple of months ago: A little too good to believe. Obviously, what attracted me to this was that it’s gum that has, “Vote Republican,” printed on the front. The amazing thing is that the name of the gum is actually, “BONUS!” printed in an… Continue reading I’m Voting Republigum!
