Not so secret
delgrosso:
It is guaranteed to lose me a large swath of Tumblr and Twitter followers and probably alienate an even larger number of people. So be it.
Poppycock, and you know it. Not that you will read this as you don’t follow me, you UNAPPROACHABLE PERSON, you.
If I follow you anywhere, it’s because I really enjoy what you have to say or contribute in that particular arena. … I...

I’ve struggled with this in the past, usually getting the quantity of water/stock/time/heat just right. Last night I tried this recipe from Delia Smith and it worked flawlessly. Here’s exactly…

You post the coolest shit.
Hurrah!
BTW, you are so not following me on twitter, I couldn’t return your DM.
I AM DOCTOR ASHAMED FACE.
I have an explanation for this: dangerous incompetence. And not @guykawaski levels of tool-i-ness, I swear. Heartfelt apologies!

You are amazingly beautiful.
There is no way for guys to say this on the Internet without sound creepy....

Customers from Hell by Weeklythunk:
I used to work in a dockside bar that was, to put it mildly, a little rough.
It all began after I moved to this well-known (and utterly crap) port town. The town itself was bad enough, rammed full of ne’er-do-wells and a smorgasbord of freaks, but the closer you got to the port the worse the punters became. The vile clientele that poured through our doors was...
One of the best things I've ever read
From spimf on the b3ta forums:
Growing up I lived in a tough neighbour hood. Like really fucking tough. I didn’t know anyone who didn’t carry a knife. Or anyone that wasn’t in a gang.

Better Quote: “99.9% of the people on Twitter are at least somewhat interesting. The last 0.1% are marketing tools.”

“You may claim a kidnapped child as your dependent if the following requirements...”
– Actual IRS rules on when/if you can claim a kidnapped child as a dependent. I realise they have to think of everything, but still, any day you need to come up with rules like these must be a pretty weird day in work.

Josh Freese's creative album pricing
Consumerist:
Trent Reznor and Radiohead have been dealt a serious blow in the tiered pricing war for album releases. Josh Freese, a member of Devo and A Perfect Circle who’s also played for NIN, Sting, The Offspring, and more!, has just released his solo album today. Aside from the free single or vanilla $7 album download option, you can pay anywhere from $15 to $75,000 for increasingly...
