You laugh, but you know it would work.
My two genius inventions are:
a) the Shower Hammock
b) The Beer Slushie.
Our three items combined, sold at ballparks, carnivals and Bed, Bath & Beyond, would contribute to the Death of America.
Let’s do this.

Many proponents of gay marriage cite it as a “victimless” crime—an arrangement between two consenting adults which should have no ramifications whatsoever to the outside world.
That is not entirely true.
If anyone would have cause to oppose gay marriage, it would be the guy whose wife left him for another woman, causing plenty of intentional and collateral damage in the process....

The setup:
One of the nice things about sitting in certain bars in the afternoon is that if you position yourself watching the door, the setups for jokes write themselves:
A frat boy, a waitress, and a process server walk into a bar.
The copy department of Red Deluxe Brand Development walks into a bar.
The owner of the bar down the street walks into a bar.
A guy who writes a blog primarily concerned with...

I’m heading to Mobile for the Memorial Day weekend, visiting my parents for the first time since Christmas and the first time as a divorcee (back in January, for those keeping score at home), and my Mom asks if I’m bringing someone with me. I’m sure she’ll have tons of suggestions where I can meet me some single ladies when I get there, mostly involving church. Yeah....

So, who are the three Twitter people who aren’t currently following you, but who you wish were?
FWIW, mine are @warrenellis, @hodgman, and @lonelysandwich.
Your turn.
I gotta pick ONLY THREE? THERE ARE LEGIONS OF PEOPLE WHO DON’T FOLLOW ME!
Actually, I’m just grateful for the extra-cool people who do follow me on Twitter. Getting worked up over someone who...

When your ringtone is the Keyboard Cat music, even wrong numbers are fun.
I guess as long as we’re talking about cat ringtones, I might as well let everyone experience the funny looks that come along with the CAT TOWN RINGTONE.
The Passion of the Christ: Blooper Reel
Jesus carries a heavy wooden cross through Jerusalem, assisted by Simon (Jarreth Merz).
Jesus: Wait a second. [puts down cross]
Off Camera: What is it?
Jesus: [wipes right eye] There’s something in my eye.
Simon: Oh my God, it’s a mote.
Off Camera: [laughter]

On ranking.
Unfortunately, the newly-introduced Tumblarity popularity ranking system is only going to serve to bring Marketing and SEO douchebags into the ranks of Tumblrers, much the same as it is with Twitter, thanks to Twitterrank and Twitterholic etc. I expect spam-followers soon, folks out collecting links who are more into self-promotion than creativity. The biggest risk is that I turn into one...

Also, should I meet the projectionist who got the third and fourth reels out of fucking order in my screening, somebody gonna get cut.
WatchThe opening salvo of Craig Brewer’s $5 Cover. The camera work is just-this-side-of-Michael-Bay, possibly precipitated by the fact that half the actors are actual Memphis musicians, but it’s still a good show (I have it on good authrority that it gets better), and like Kidd Video, ends with a song. Except the song isn’t by Tears for Fears.
Full disclosure: I have more than a...
Update for the Simplify
I’ve made a HEY TUMBLRS playlist featuring stuff you might not have heard. It’s college radio all over again!

I’m fancycwabs there, too.
There are veritable GEMS THAT YOU HAVE NEVER EVER HEARD in my playlist, but for the moment, do the following:
1. Select my shared folder in iTunes (or whatever)
2. Search my playlist for CAT TOWN
3. Listen.
(LET’S ALL GO TO CAT TOWN, I should note, is my very favorite ringtone.)
