AWEXSOME.

Anyways, drowning in uncomfortably hot chocolate would be one crappy way to die.

It would be hard to swim in, too.

[Slugkid]

I'd probably eat as much as I could before death...

The Weeds one was a bit weak, but the other ones were spot on.

I love huggable serial killers!

[Johncarllos]

Bahaha.

[ChaosVortex]

I know I don't normally say this, but I think this is worth it so...

I tried it to see for myself and it's legit.

I also came across this: http://www.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,1877187,00.html

21. I once sent a teacher into early retirement by pretending to be a cheetah and swiping at her from under a desk.

OW ##### I can't laugh right now it hurts.

[Mikero]

If I ever actually give Weeds a real shot it won't be just because I've heard good things, but mostly because the girl seems like a total bettie.



I don't know if Time used to be smart, but it's always put on an air that it's classy or something to me. However, this is clearly not the case anymore with all this Facebook and Lolcats jargon on there.
Anyway there's more; http://www.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,1878055,00.html

AOL leaked out 3 months worth of search logs and these are some of the hilarious results:

Here's some of my favorites:







This one is great because it just gets increasingly more depressing until it finally lands on Chuck E. Cheese as if that's the logical next step:








I keep finding more to post since these are all hilarious so I'll just stop now.

[Johncarllos]

That last one was hilarious.

Really?

Someone needs to RTFM.

This isn't really anything but I just read it and am gonna post it anyway;

Tuesday July 14 

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Los Angeles police say actor LeVar Burton was involved in a five-car accident but wasn't seriously injured.

Detective Judy Acosta says Burton's 2006 Mercedes was on Beverly Boulevard in West Los Angeles at about 7:40 p.m. Monday when a 74-year-old woman in a 2006 Scion turned left in front of him.

Acosta says the cars collided. Burton's vehicle then hit a parked car, leading to a chain reaction that damaged two other parked cars.

Acosta says both drivers complained of pain, then were examined at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center and released. Nobody was ticketed.

Burton, 52, was in the TV miniseries "Roots," ''Star Trek: The Next Generation" and was the longtime host of "Reading Rainbow."

don't text and walk

[Johncarllos]

Moron.

[Majikn]

How badly hurt could she possibly be? A few scrapes is nothing, get 'em cleaned up and you're all set.

Anyway cell phones aren't that big and they don't block the majority of your vision, so the problem lies with her either needing glasses or having no mental perception (in terms of actually SEEING the things your eyes pick up) or reflexes whatsoever. The problem isn't texting and walking, like 90% of adults are going to say.

If I had actually begun to fall I'd prop my elbows forward and at worst slam my ribcage into something. But you know, that's why you have a ribcage. IT PROTECTS YOU.

[Johncarllos]

I would be too big to fit.

[ASR]

I feel like falling into a manhole would mess you up real good, actually.

[Johncarllos]

Agreed.
They are kind of deep sometimes, and there's the wall and a ladder to bust yourself up on.

[Vinchenz Rock]

I wouldn't say it's her fault. Sometimes when you focus so much on something, you fail to notice the things around you.

If anything, it's whoever opened the manhole's fault for not putting up a fence of some sort or even pylons.

[ASR]

The reason the article is funny is because it probably wouldn't have been written if the girl weren't texting.

As in, sure, a girl falling into a manhole is noteworthy, but the fact that she was texting is likely what caused the article to be written. People love to vilify texting.

And texting IS stupid, but I do it and so does everybody else so I give up.

[Johncarllos]

It's more distracting to the texter, but less annoying to those around.

I'd rather just have telepathy and get it over with.

[Majikn]

I feel like falling into a manhole would mess you up real good, actually.

It's not big enough for you to fall all the way in. Remember that if you're taking a step and your foot lands on nothing, your other foot is still on the ground. You fall forward, your body hits the other side of the hole. You don't fall all the way in unless you plant both feet over the "nothing" at the same time. THEN it's dangerous. But we're not JUMPING so that's not going to happen.

See, I actually think about these things. I'm not coming in saying if you fall right in and smash your face against the bars of the ladder and then scrape your back against the other side of the wall and then fall forward and hit your face on something again until you finally land won't hurt you, I'm saying that just wouldn't happen.

I wouldn't say it's her fault. Sometimes when you focus so much on something, you fail to notice the things around you.

That's actually the lesson she should've got from it. She needs to focus on what she's doing. I don't think the lesson should be treated as an excuse that absolves her from any sort of blame. By saying it's not her fault, you're suggesting that we need to be watched over at all times, that we can't take responsibility for our actions.

[ASR]

She needs to focus on what she's doing.

So the lesson is she needs to focus more on texting!

 

[Majikn]

Texting AND walking! If you're doing both, focus equally on both!

[Mikero]

Guys.

She's from Staten Island.
She's not smart.

I'd rather just have telepathy and get it over with.

If you had telepathy, you'd hate it.

[Johncarllos]

I like this.

You have expand it to get it to play.

[Mikero]

Wow. That's so queer.

And I mean strictly in a non homosexual way, it's just really gay. Weird! I mean it's really weird.

Well, they fixed it an eternity ago, but say you want to boot up that 15 year old computer and forgot the password?
Booyeah.

Video was removed but I'm assuming it's the video of the girl who fell in the sewer? I just saw it on MTV Live and I was right; She's not--at all--smart.

Majikn's argument seems to be supported by her claim.

[Mikero]

"And Alexa lost one shoe" always gets me.

BFD. Buy a new one you rich mother#####er.

[Johncarllos]

DURRDURRDURR CONE

[ASR]

Ahaha, that's not what I linked to at all, but I enjoyed seeing footage of the actual girl. I love people like that. It's clearly not the city's fault, but she's immediately realized that everyone's blaming the city and she gets off scot-free for her idiocy. And she's milking it.

It's like that one episode of Invader Zim where the girl scout gets her leg caught in the mole-hill and all the media comes to report on her and she loves the fame. "The Girl Who Cried Gnome."

EDIT: Oh, and I forgot: the video I posted that was removed was some dude doing a leg sweep to some girl that was annoying him. She hit the ground hard.

[Mikero]

To be fair, they should have put ##### up. I'm pretty sure it's the law.

But it's both the fault of the city and the bitchy.

[preventerWIND]

Seen that vid ASR, what a dick. She throws water in his face and he Kung-Fu's her.

[ASR]

Yep. I think it's funny, and don't care enough to pick sides.

[preventerWIND]

Well, duh. Of course it's funny, nobody said that it wasn't.

[ASR]

here's some interesting stuff for ya

That's exactly why you shouldn't ask the internet for help with anything.
