WASHINGTON, DC—Activists called for federal assistance as a last resort after trying to contain the problem with diplomacy, cathode rays, and methamphetamines.
“These spiders are unstoppable,” meth addict and self-described spider-hater Christine Mitchell said. “We’ve tried everything from scrubbing ourselves raw with bleach, to burning them off with lit cigarettes, to...

My work day just got a bit more terrifying!
I get a text from PollyAmmo who is sick at home and watching Doctor Who:
PollyAmmo: Whenever I watch the Weeping Angels episode I feel like I can’t blink.
Me: You shouldn’t. They’ll grab you if you blink.
PollyAmmo: They’ll come out of the screen. The whole Doctor Who franchise is a trick.
Me: That’s why it’s so rare to meet a fan. They’ve all be...

PayPal Threatens To Abandon eBook Retailer Over... →
You know, I’m beginning to think PayPal is one of the worst companies out there right now.
Late last year they shut down Regretsy’s effort to buy Christmas presents for needy children, because they allegedly used the wrong kind of donation button. They eventually made things right, but it was a PR nightmare for them.
Then there was the incident of the antique violin that PayPal...

10. Bromance
Origin: A portmanteau of the words brother and romance, created in the 1990s by Dave Carnie (editor of the skateboard magazine Big Brother) to describe the relationships that develop between male skaters.
Why it sucks: The word bromance exists so two guys can be friends…

Anonymous asked: In regards to your Twin Peaks/alpaca post: Whenever they were trying to find out who owned the bird, they had to visit the pet hospital, and an alpaca just walked between Cooper and Sheriff Truman while they were talking. Apparently that wasn't scripted, but Kyle MacLachlan's reaction was just too priceless.

I guess this is growing-up.
An exciting thing happened today: Our finicky, 40-plus-year-old dryer has been hauled off to the great laundry room in the sky and a fancy-pants perfectly new dryer has been left in it’s place. And I am legitimately thrilled about this!
HAPPY DANCE!
But, at the same time, I am forced to recognize that this is a pretty lame thing to be happy about. It’s a friggen dryer. It makes my...

Life is too short for bad movies
(I'm on the phone with my mom. She's planning on going to the movies with my dad tonight)
Me: What are you going to see?
Mom: Star Wars in 3D.
Me: UGHHH. WHY? Don't go see that.
Mom: But I missed it when it came out. I never saw it.
Me: Please don't spend your money on the Phantom Menace. Rent it if you're that desperate to see it.
Mom: So we should go see Hugo instead?
Me: OH GOD YES. I haven't seen Hugo but you should definitely go see that instead. Actually, I recommend seeing Hugo thirty times in a row rather than seeing Phantom Menace.
Mom: Well, I'll talk to your dad about it. I don't know though...
Three hours later...
Mom: OH MY GOD IT WAS SO GOOD! YOU HAVE TO SEE IT!!
So I should probably go see Hugo, right?

In Case You Missed It of the Day: Speaking of which, Amy Poehler returned to Saturday Night Live last night to reunite with former Weekend Update co-host Seth Meyers for a special birth-control segment of “Really?!?” which delved into all the wacky, anachronistic mishegas the Republicans were up to this week.
On the one hand, I hope Amy returns to Weekend Update more often. On...

Brrr...
Nothing creeps me out more than the thought that the (fictional Carnivale) town of Babylon still exists somewhere.
