Luke: S***. CJ is gay dude
Nate: Are you insulting him or are you serious?
Luke: Serious. He just hit on me
Nate: ...how did he hit on you?
Luke: He asked if he could give me a bl**ie. I was like WTF

Luke: Yeah dude. F***ing weird s***. I had to leave without saying anything. F*** dude
Nate: Okay, so, just give me the run down here. What was the situation and how did it get to bl** j**s?
Luke: We were studying in his room. And he was like, dude, I need to tell you something. I was like what's up man. He said, I've been really into you lately, dude, and I was just wondering...

warming your heart and your head for the holidays
As Christmas Approaches (tomorrow), I’m sure you’re all wondering what I’ve been wondering: how to make your cat into an elegant dinner hat for holidays.
There’s nothing that gets you in the spirit of the holidays like a cap made from the skin of your own pet. I know, I know, you want one—doesn’t everyone? This extremely desirable (and fashionable) accessory is on everyone’s wish list this time of year. So, how can you be the owner of your very own personal cat hat? I’ll tell you! You’ll need the following items:
A stick
Some string.
A fuzzy ball
A bola
Scissors
And creativity!
Attach the stick to the string and the fuzzy ball, creating a fishing pole out of the combination. Dangle the makeshift lure over your cat’s water bowl and wait for it to strike. As kitty paws the air with his tufty, warm little paws,
relish in the knowledge that his severed head will soon augment your most beloved hat.
Yeah, relish the kill.
As kitty’s fuzzy little head is distracted, eagerly thinking of ways adorably trap the lure; throw the bola rope at his back paws, rendering him immobile. After capture, simply cut along the dotted line
and tastefully glue the head to your favorite ball cap:
With such a beautiful hat, you’ll be the talk of the town in no time flat!
Merry happy from subtitlesformoviesinenglish!

Sean John, Sex, Power, Honesty.. this man takes himself seriously.
Watch this.
Sean John is King of the Night.
An estimated 10 rabbits died to provide the fur for that hood, as you might guess, PETA is pissed.

Accretion of the mildly interested
St. Louis mixed genre shows are a perfect place to observe this phenomenon.
the beginning of the show. everyone is scattered about in conversation clumps behind the camera.
music is heard and the patrons drift (pulled by the stage mass+music mass) slowly to seats forming stage 1 of the accretion disk.
mild interest has overcome the force of boredom here.
one conversation clump has reached the roche limit, and split up. this is how all concert rings begin.
over time, more and more mass is accumulated in the disk.
the final stage of formation

the stage is directly off camera to the right.
notice how uncomfortable everyone looks.

Asher Roth and Lady Gaga hook up, but why?
Both Asher Roth and Lady Gaga have released stellar debut albums in the last year or so, and are seen by some critics as ushering in a new wave of audio-artistry. Asher Roth's publicist recently made a public announcement concerning Asher's social life that has seemed to shock the whole world. The announcement reads:
"There have been many rumors about the legitimacy of a relationship between Mr. Roth and Ms. Lady Gaga. I am appearing today to make the official announcement that the rumors are true. Asher Roth and Lady Gaga are currently in a very serious relationship for both professional and personal reasons. They are actually, this moment, working on making a baby inside of Ms. Gaga."
(Respective pictures of each invividual part of the pair)
Much speculation has been made about this seemingly peculiar relationship. Perhaps the most common questions being asked are: how are the couple prospering both personally and professionally from their relationship, and why would they want a baby so soon? Ryan Schreiber, creator of the website that is better than you "Pitchfork Media", has proposed a theory that many think to be the correct answer to their questions. Schreiber has formulated that Asher Roth and Lady Gaga, seeing a great deal of musical potential in each other, are under the impression that if they were to bear child, the child to escape from Gaga's womb, brought by the seed of Roth would be the sole greatest musician to ever walk the face of the planet. Schreiber suggests that Asher probably believes the baby will inherit his nonchalant swagger and smooth flow. Lady Gaga is said to believe that the baby will inherit her innate fashion sense, maddening piano prowess, and soulful demeanor. We believe that if all this speculation becomes fact, that Rotgaga (the baby's rumored name) will take the music scene by storm and take no prisoners. We even suggest that if the love-child reaches its full potential it could be reasonable to expect a future where there was no need for more than one musical artist in the whole world, and of course that artist would be baby Rotgaga.
(amateur sketch of what baby Rotgaga should look like at age 13)
p.s. None of this is true. This statement was made for purposes of clarification.

Letters From Home Vol. I: Daybreak Will Arise
Below is a letter written to Tanner Smith during his service to our country in the blazing hot, inhospitable, godforsaken wasteland known as Kandahar, Afghanistan.
"I've got another confession to make...
That song is horrible. for real.
The confession though is that Zach, Matt, Audrey and I made this care package a super long time ago and I've been procrastinating on sending it for like 2 months now.
Now I'm writing this on Tuesday, October 13th determined to get this onitsuka tiger shoebox safely to your living quarters in Afghanistan relatively soon. Or at least before you leave to come back to my loving embrace. How softly will we embrace on that fateful day. I count the ways it will be so soft. I can not reach an end to the counting.
Let us retire, you and I, and waste the days with amorous whisperings in our love bed. Hahaha.. You always were so silly.
Daybreak will arise in the sea the waves in the aerth, corresponding crest by crest with the pangs of my desire for your steely action chest.
We will watch the Gilmore Girls episodes we always loved and think about that one time... (who knew it could happen with pants on? hahahahaha!!! I totally knew.)
Only when you get old and your face totally starts to look like a giant ballsack - you know, not like a normal white dude's balls but like... Michael Clark Duncan balls - Will I look back and question, "Was it worth it?", and also, "Why does your face look like a black dude's balls?" Normal people's faces don't look like balls Tanner.
-Jon

A review of the film: Ninja Assassin
When reviewing an adrenaline fueled, high-octane flick such as ninja assassin, it is often times difficult to find a place to start. Through very little reasoning, because that is what I assume the movie would want me to do, I have decided to present a summary of the film to kick things off.
As you may see, Ninja Assassin is not your typical popcorn fare. It is chock-full of many believable emotions such as crying and doing laundry. This is why I give it a rating of:
(Three Dismembered Ninja Heads)

Psalm 1
Hebrew
א אַשְׁרֵי הָאִישׁ-- אֲשֶׁר לֹא הָלַךְ, בַּעֲצַת רְשָׁעִים;
וּבְדֶרֶךְ חַטָּאִים, לֹא עָמָד, וּבְמוֹשַׁב לֵצִים, לֹא יָשָׁב.

King James
1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly,
Psalm 1
NIV
1 Blessed is the man
who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked
or stand in the way of sinners
or sit in the seat of mockers.
Psalm 1
English Standard Version
1Blessed is the mana]">[a]
who walks not in the counsel of the wicked,
nor stands in the way of sinners,
nor sits in the seat of scoffers;
Psalm 1
The Message
1How well God must like you— you don't hang out at Sin Saloon, you don't slink along Dead-End Road,
you don't go to Smart-Mouth College.
What the KJV, NIV, and the ESV all missed, was the obvious reference by the writer of Psalm 1 to Sin's Saloon.
Now There is scholarly debate regarding the phrase "עצה של רשעים ". Abisha Elazar Kosherini would say it is "Sin's saloon". While the late Sakeri Akub Molatozzlefozzle would say the Hebrew is better translated "Sin City Saloon".
Either way The message translation was the only one to get somewhat close to the original Hebrew.
Thank you Eugene H. Peterson.

University of Missouri: Columbia (Mizzou), Daycare
Mizzou students, who are also parents, are afforded daycare at an extra charge. Children are kept on campus in a safe and supposedly healthy environment. The daycare services website paints quite a picture of a healthy, fun place where your children are kept while you attend classes.
The title homepage suggests a politically correct, and therefore healthy setting:
The disturbing truth follows.
Mizzou, to ensure itself a populous fan base, is actually mentoring these children in the traditions of Mizzou culture and regular student practices.
Children as young as 1 year old are instructed by teachers to party, get down, and get crunk as hailed "cool as s***" by the student body. The children are never fed breakfast, and during lunch and dinner they are only allowed doritos and rockstar energy drinks. The children are also forced to build up a resistance to caffeine, whether it be the aforementioned energy drink or 5 hour energy supplement, the teachers are putting these drinks in your child's sippy-cup.
But to the real point:
As a Mizzou parent I'm sure you are quite aware of what all is included in "getting crunk," but I assume you wish differently for your children--at least at 1 year of age.
Actual Pictures from Mizzou Daycare:
(Above) Children are taken to mock house parties where they are fed a steady supply of Bud Light. Some children must have diluted Bud Light (with water, juicy-juice, or kool-aid) at the beginning of the semester, but the teachers help them acquire the taste by reducing the amount of non-beer product in their cups throughout the semester.
(Above) Children are taught to ask for more, as they cannot reach the bottles on a regular table nor open them.
And of course:
Please withdraw your child from Mizzou Daycare today, there is no time to waste. You do not want your child to become just like you (ex. pictured below).
