Faceless ‘aliens’ spotted in crowd at Wimbledon | Mail Online
I FUCKING WANT ONE OF THESE MASKS SO FUCKING BAD.
/may make one.
- So I
can’tdon’t sleep-in late anymore because I am becoming an old, old man. So as I rise with the sun and rooster, I troll the book of face seeing if I have any messages or if it’s my turn in any of my scrabulous games, then I laugh. - I’m lol’ing bc it ain’t the first time I have seen this, and it probably will not be the last either, but a girl who I am friends with has a status that reads “…loving being in state XYZ with boy XYZ :)” and her profile pic is her with a guy I am guessing is boy XYZ but they live out of town, so I ain’t sure.
- The reason I find this so damn funnny is this a girl I have known for awhile and have traded war stories with about being single in college, crazy things we have done/been a part of and now, like I have seen many times before, mostly with the ladies but in a more watered down form with some guys too, a formerly debauchery inviting facebook profile morphs almost instantly into a facebook profile that exudes domestic proficiency. Profile pics that used to have 40oz beers and sorority girl friends in costumes get traded for prim and proper and couple-ish photos that seem to be from a wedding or other event with a professional photog and the new profile pic serves to reinvent the person and their online persona from life of the party, wild, undiscovered Tucker Max type of willingness to get in to crazy shit, in to a facebook page that looks like they have become the perfect person to slang laundering supplies and household cleaning products.
- Man I’m an old fuck.
ExtasyBecause I know you two are sleeping together tonight. And because I know I’m sleeping alone. And because I met the most D-Bag individual ever at the bar this evening. Everying is OK! I don’t miss you
…and to top it the fuck off, all I have is this giant, worthless ssri that if only were some sort of benzo, I may get ten minutes of relaxation.

Now, however, ties are staging a comeback - thanks to nervousness over the credit crunch.
Credit crunch sparks tie revival
By Charlotte Bailey Last Updated: 2:03AM BST 22/06/2008
Once it looked to be going the way of the cravat and the waistcoat. Eschewed by David Cameron and Jeremy Paxman, the necktie was thought to be heading into obsolescence.
Now, however, ties are staging a comeback - thanks to nervousness over the credit crunch.
Tie merchants have enjoyed a ten per cent increase in UK sales in the last three months.
The reason their trade is flourishing against a grim economic backdrop is, they say, because office workers are desperate to “smarten up” to avoid being picked for redundancy.
Even those who have already got the chop are buying ties to wear to job interviews.
Richard Whitbread, marketing manager of Tie Rack, said: “Since the doom and gloom set in, sales of ties have picked up. We have seen a 10 per cent increase in sales over the last quarter.
“When people start to be more concerned about their jobs, they start to smarten up. Also a lot of people are looking for jobs at the moment.”
Lee Hamilton, a buyer for formal wear at John Lewis, reported a sales increase of 17 per cent in narrow ties 18 per cent in Italian ties.

"Every morning we check Google News for Facebook-related stories and without fail, always find a news story or two illustrating how vastly more entertaining Facebook is for the rest of the world. Australians, Britons and Spaniards seem to use Facebook only to plan huge flash-mob parties at beaches, pools and vacation homes. Here, we sometimes get Facebook invites to Tech Karaoke. In America, the only crimes Facebook facilitates are child porn and child molestation — depressing, not fun. Abroad, Facebook figures prominently in stories of murder, prostitution, and even clashes against the government. Below nine news stories showing exactly how much more enjoyment foreigners are having getting into trouble with Facebook. Here in the States, we’re sitting at our computers while wondering how Facebook’s going to make money, or something. Clearly, we’re doing it wrong."

I just bought this today! Yay! I was so excited…
It did kind of break the bank, but I think that more expensive perfume is worth it because it will stay on longer. I bought the lotion and the perfume as to layer on my scent. I can’t wait to wear it!
I seem to have issues in getting my perfume to last. I put it on all the pulse points and stuff, but somehow an hour later it has already faded. So, I figured that maybe it was because I didn’t have a very “expensive” brand. Now I have one (believe me, quite pricey) so hopefully it will last. I heard that if you put Vaseline on the point before you spray, it will last longer. Does anyone know if this is true??? Let me know! lol :) Any helpful hints??

- wow. wow. I’m on my 3rd pair of og sperrys now they have become ‘cool’ and come in colors like the ones above, which still, all I can say is wow. Your patriotism knows no bounds sir.
- I been rocking these since I was seventeen. They seem to have a three year shelf life before they just get too gross and you have to go pay 55$ for another pair from the boat shop:

"To slip past Internet censors squashing reports of a weekend riot in China’s Guizhou province, some bloggers have started writing backward.

… One recent strategy involves online software that flips sentences to read right to left instead of left to right, and vertically instead of horizontally."

Now let’s take a minute to give praise to Beck and El Ron Hubbard and go on to the next level for the next exhibited…get out your credit card key!

As I read this Economist article, no less than four video advertisements played around the text I was trying to concentrate on.

A lack of culture is not our problem. The problem is we’ve become too effective at distributing that culture — at the same time, in the same way, and with the same velocity. It all ends up feeling interchangeable, which makes it all marginally irrelevant. As it turns out, my initial question was beyond impossible. There are no interesting twentieth-century Americans. There can’t be, because they all are. (via How Foreigners See America - American Pop Culture - Esquire by Chuck Klosterman

"Angela Eversole, 34, was nabbed last weekend during a police stakeout at a Days Inn, where she allegedly trysted with customer Kenneth Nowak. According to investigators, Nowak admitted paying for Eversole’s services, in part, with a $100 gas card. Eversole was hit with a prostitution rap and also charged with doing business without an occupational license."
