i am your canadian boyfriend: Monkeys →
atsween:
I was thinking about monkeys and how I really like them but then I remembered the Nazi monkey in Raiders of the Lost Ark and I was conflicted because I didn’t know if he was a true believer or if he was just following orders and then I felt bad because that’s no excuse but then I remembered he…

Fireland: Twitter First Draft No. 006 →
fireland:
Last night I went against my better judgment and wrote a Harry Potter tweet. It relied too much on knowing Harry Potter stuff to get the “joke” but whatever, the Venn diagram of Harry Potter people and Twitter people is basically a big fat zero. But before I got to the final draft I went over…

The genitalia/powerpoint thing sorta sounds like me, too.
tensexyladies:
I’m in my cubicle and decide to take a little break from providing value to draw a picture of Boba Fett on my desk with a Sharpie. I’m not good at drawing hands or legs or feet or Boba Fett so I have him hiding in a dumpster, which I can sort of draw. As I ponder my art with avuncular fondness, I…

Ten Sexy Ladies: Thomas Jefferson →
tensexyladies:
T-Jeff looks a little like Robert Redford and a lot like a big slab of hot hunk, you ask me. I mean you know he was a full-on player. He had all kinds of fillies on the side. There were at least a couple dozen slave kids running around Monticello with his face. But when you’re sporting a kisser…

Where the frig did the winter go? I spent a good portion of the last 3-season pining for the time when I could break my snowshoes back out, and that time’s nearly over. Not that I can complain: I…
