I don’t understand the purpose of the line, “I don’t need to drink to have fun.” Great, no one does. But why start a fire with flint and sticks when they’ve invented the lighter?The letters T and G are very close to each other on a keyboard. This recently became all too apparent to me and consequently I will never be ending a work email with the phrase “Regards” again.

Do you remember when you were a kid, playing Nintendo and it wouldn’t work? You take the cartridge out, blow in it and that would magically fix the problem. Every kid in America did that, but how did we all know how to fix the problem? There was no internet or message boards or FAQ’s. We just figured it out. Today’s kids are soft.

I think part of a best friend’s job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.

The only time I look forward to a red light is when I’m trying to finish a text.

Lol has gone from meaning, “laugh out loud” to “I have nothing else to say”.

My brother’s Municipal League baseball team is named the Stepdads. Seeing as none of the guys on the team are actual stepdads, I inquired about the name. He explained, “Cuz we beat you, and you hate us.” Classy, bro.

What would happen if I hired two private investigators to follow each other?

While driving yesterday I saw a banana peel in the road and instinctively swerved to avoid it…thanks Mario Kart.

MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.

Bad decisions make good stories.If Carmen San Diego and Waldo ever got together, their offspring would probably just be completely invisible.

I hate leaving my house confident and looking good and then not seeing anyone of importance the entire day. What a waste.

I like all of the music in my iTunes, except when it’s on shuffle, then I like about one in every fifteen songs in my iTunes.

Why is a school zone 20 mph? That seems like the optimal cruising speed for pedophiles…

It should probably be called Unplanned Parenthood.

My 4-year old son asked me in the car the other day “Dad what would happen if you ran over a ninja?” How the hell do I respond to that?

I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lites than Kay.

oh yes. the fixies are rather simple: when the pedals move, the tires move in the same direction. and when the tires move, the pedals move. this means NO COASTING down hills. no coasting = “crazy.” they’re meant to be track bikes – for flat, circular races. no gears = less weight = faster. oh, and most fixies don’t have brakes. since you don’t need brakes in a race…

i’m pretty sure the hipsters adopted the fixies since it means you must be kewl to [1] know about track racing; [2] knowingly use a device against it’s intended purpose; [3] embrace danger and awkward brilliance (a friend of mine used to use the heal of his shoe as a brake); [4] want to work hard for “fun”. (have you noticed that hipsters are all about that old American Protestant ideal that you must appear to work hard to deserve any of life’s splendor? They give no kudos for folks who devise a way to work “smarter” rather than “harder”…)

And your dessert…
