  • Liquid Meth and an Unexpected Party – Be My Guinea Pig, Drink This 7-Up – Late Night Risk

    An unexpected party! That’s a chapter of The Hobbit if you didn’t know… It happened yesterday. Not like in The Hobbit. But there was a very unexpected Wednesday party. I did some splash photography for fun (and for an article, but mostly for fun). I should have used the flash. That picture originally was way…

  • Gardening 101: Killing my Mint Plant – Material Luckily Gathered – Not My Cover: Burt Reynolds (Ryan Reynolds Instead)

    I beat the fuck out of my mint plant… I hope it recovers. It already looks like it is recovering. The expensive soil I bought is much better than the shitty soil that I got in Mexico. The basil plant also looks much nicer. It looks like a little basil tree. The leaves are short…

  • Front Page Attempt Flops – Kimby TJ Adventure Time – Visiting the New House, Spending the Night in SD

    I just posted a massive burger pic on Imgur and on /r/food. It pissed me off that a shitty picture of burgers was on the front page. Friday Reddit. Shitty Reddit. The picture on Imgur is doing great. Spoke too soon. It’s only been a minute and it already has two comments. It probably won’t…

  • Sports Sunday and My Shitty NFL Fantasy Team – Weird 3 Bedroom Apartment in Playas for $560 – CTM: Anna Kendrick

    Morning! Monday. September 18th. I skipped Sunday because I felt like it. I was busy watching sports. I’m trying to find the chart which shows me which days I have skipped in the year but I can’t find it. It’s been less than a dozen though. I think yesterday was skip #10. But in trying…
