What Could Still Happen Before The End Of The Day
All flights, airlines, airports cancelled. Forever.

I AM REALLY SICK OF SEEING ALL THESE HIPSTAMATIC PHOTOS. GUESS WHAT LOSERS, YOU’RE NOT CREATIVE OR A GOOD PHOTOGRAPHER, YOU’RE USING AN IPHONE APP THAT 2.4 MILLION OTHER PEOPLE USE. BLOW ME.
Seconded.
Better yet, SECONDED.
If you see something that anyone else can see if they look hard enough for it (a sunset, a lovely group of flowers, a stunning skyscraper...

WE'RE BACK, BITCHES
LOLSTRANDED
Fifteen minutes ago, our flight back to NYC was supposed to take off from Fort Lauderdale. But three hours ago we were told, after checking our flight status all day and seeing only an hour delay listed, that all flights on JetBlue due into JFK after 8:00pm tonight were suddenly cancelled.
I was secretly gloating all week that we’d dodged the worst of it by having a solid booking on a...

I clowned on a few friends of mine (lovingly!) in an email earlier, and I felt bad about it. Until this happened.
Mom: [REDACTED HS buddy] was raised to think he should be like Dan Marino.
Me: (regarding REDACTED’s younger siblings) So what were [REDACTED SISTER] and [REDACTED BROTHER] supposed to be?
Mom: Well, [SISTER] was supposed to be Town Whore, and [BROTHER] was supposed to be...

(+1) I suppose many of us are supposed to be upset about politics this year, but at least that crazy witch lady didn’t win anything.

I don’t understand the use of BNTER. Isn’t doing that sort of thing legal grounds to kill someone? If you can recall any movie scene where someone mean wakes up with a blade on their throat… If you do that with a chat conversation with me and I didn’t give my explicit permission, you should expect that as a result. And I will not get jail time for it.
Also, since when did...

Thanks, Ricky Gervais, for inspiring a bunch of people to share your thoughts on atheism in the middle of the Christmas season. Awesome timing there. While you’re around, you might want to publish an article on apartheid on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Only four weeks away!

IT'S CHRISTMASTIME WITH GWAR →
I liked some of these gifts, from people who would predictably give great gifts. But for the most part, this is the worst Secret Santa office pool ever.
For one thing, half of the non-ironic gifts are either terrible ideas for real gifts or dorky ideas for imaginary gifts.
But more importantly, aren’t virtually all of these people working with consumer products one way or another? Why...

I would like to openly complain about the last play of the Eagles-Giants game today, but that brand of pathos is not particularly welcome on Tumblr. Sorry folks, I addressed all of my complaints about dating, work, and lifestyle articles in the New York Times, unlike many of you.
No team should ever have to lose a game like that. LIKE THAT.
I’m still optimistic about a playoff run, though...

““Why am I being punished? Why did someone throw him in my path when I can’t have him?””
If you ever need to explain to someone just how awful a certain kind of New Yorker can be, this should do it.

Last night, down to the last dregs of the office holiday party at an overpriced Midtown ‘Irish’ bar, I was ready to slink home. As I was gathering my coat, Tracy Westmoreland—patron bar-saint of media-types everywhere, the Elaine of the gutter set—showed up and yelled “It’s on, bitch!” He spirited…

Flickr totally WAS Facebook before Yahoo intentionally destroyed it with bad management and then let Facebook “drink their milkshake” so-to-speak. Too late to close the barn doors on this one! But if you want to know...

I am absolutely not kidding you when I tell you that the first and only announcement for meetings for the NYC chapter of the national ADHD society (held far uptown at 5:50pm SHARP on random Mondays) arrive about 2 hours before the meeting on the day of the meeting.
Thank god! I managed to save all three of the links I saved in del.icio.us before they shut down. Now off to archive the photos from my Friendster profile!

I’m just now finding out that Upcoming.org took a trip into hell’s maw.
Also, Altavista is like Mac’s dog from It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia. I’ve seen it way more dead than this in the past.
