It’s Smarter Than The Average Bear
14 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Hoo ha. I try and avoid playing the ‘hey look something funny happened on the internet’ game with you guys too often, but it’s Monday and this bear unlocked some dude’s car door and “drank 4 beers, ate a bottle of mallox, and crapped all over the place.” That’s special.

So Beer Marshmallows Are A Thing Now.
11 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Well this seems like a good way to end the week/start the weekend. Beer-batter marshmallows. I don’t know how I feel about these things, taste-wise, but in terms of taking something awesome and then coating it in something else that’s awesome, beer marshmallows get my stamp of approval.

10 Feb 2011 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Well that seems reasonable. Harvard graduate Yifan Zhang has started up the Gym Pact program, which offers participants free or reduced rates for gym memberships, provided they stick to pre-arranged workout plans; skipping sessions leads to higher rates, with the thought that this would motivate cheap gym-goers.

Huh. Well this just opens up a whole can of worms, doesn’t it? Sexy, mentally handicapped worms. A High Court judge ruled that ‘Alan,’ who’d been in a relationship with another fellow, lacks “the capacity to consent to and engage in sexual relations.” Choose your own punchline – there are so many.

We’ve been deceived! By somebody on the internet! My god, but I feel so used. It turns out that Craig Rowin, that guy who put up three separate videos asking millionaires for money and then apparently getting it was totally lying to us. It was all a big ol’ ‘look at me I’m a comedian’ hoax.

My god, but I love this town. An entirely trustworthy-looking cardboard sign appeared on the M63 over the weekend, advertising ‘THERAPutic Herbal Weed’ which I haven’t called because chances are that the entirely whimsical sign will be made weird and uncomfortable by calling that number.
