huh?
I was wondering why Indiana Beach was advertising facial injections in their radio commercials until I realized Botox rhymes with "boat docks."

What's the opposite of twitterpated?
Yesterday I went to Borders with my dad so he could pick up a book on how to work his new Blackberry Storm.
In the same section of the store were technology and computer books.
I was ashamed at humanity when I came across a book about Twitter.
How could a book about Twitter be more than three pages long?
I flipped through it, and the first 30 pages or so (the first chapter) was about how to start a Twitter. Can you not just log on? Is it that difficult that you need a novel to instruct you? I feel like a Twitter could TELL YOU how to WORK Twitter.
Then, later in the book was a section about how to search for Twitters. The example they gave was "Pinot Noir" and following it was a list of sample Twitters that contained the words "Pinot Noir."
Who would need to search Twitter's database for a snippet only 170 characters long? Of what possible importance could that be?
One of the sample search results was from "Joe" and said "Eating dinner on the patio with a fine novel and Pinot Noir in hand!"
Wow, good thing I know how to search for this kind of stuff. I was just about to forget what Joe was doing at 5pm on Sunday.

The World Simulator
If I had this projected on the wall of my house, or a huge screen of it in my house, I would feel like some kind of superior being.
It simulates birth and death rates, as well as CO2 emissions.
The birth/death thing alone amazes me. Look at India! NON STOP BABIES.

Da Bulls
I was clearing out old documents from my computer today, and came across this gem...
My friend Alex and I entered a contest to win free tickets to the Bulls last season.
The contest was to win a free private suite for a bunch of games.
Unfortunately, the contest required you to write 11 reasons WHY you wanted the tickets.
Therefore, I came up with the idea to do a bunch of puns with the word "suite" in them.
And this was the sad, sad result.
Because a suite would be SWEET!
I can't wait to see my favorite team from suite home Chicago.
I can't wait for some suite talk with the XRT folks!
I'm suite for Tyrus Thomas!
I want to see the team's suite moves up close!
Because my friend didn't take me to the Bulls game she went to last year and REVENGE WOULD BE SUITE.
It'd be suite to see the Bulls stomp the Nets.
Being broke ain't suite, but going to a game for free IS!
I'll have suite dreams knowing I have tickets to the Bulls game.
I'm hoping all this suite-talk will get me there!
Who got the tix, baby
Who got the only suite-est thing in the world?
Who got the seats, who got the private suite?
Who got the only suite-est thing in the world?

105%
I love reading the "105%" articles on CollegeHumor. It is a weekly gathering of one-liner jokes that are sometimes stupid, crude, or really funny.
My friends and I were reading through them the other day and I just HAD to compile a list of my favorites:
My lesbian neighbors gave me a Rolex for my birthday. It's nice, but I think they misunderstood me when I said, 'I wanna watch'.
I recently walked in on my son smoking pot, and thought, "That's weird, I don't have any kids."
What do you call an ugly girl with no arms? Sorry I meant, "Why."
Places I'd Like to Go Before I Die: The hospital.
Even though both of my parents are dead, no one really calls me an orphan. They usually call me a murderer.
When I was a kid I used to dunk on a 7' hoop in my driveway and wait for an NBA scout to drive by and draft me. Unfortunately the chance of that happening was very slim; I lived in a culdesac.
If somebody offers you a lifetime supply of candy and there is just one piece, don't eat it: It's probably poison.
My friend told me last week that he was "High on Life." I tried it too, but couldn't get the plastic game pieces lit.
My psychic is a gifted blind man. He has a fifth sense.
When Forrest said life was like a box of chocolates, was he saying that life is a cheap and unoriginal present that's only truly enjoyable for a maximum of three days?
Whenever I buy Wendy's chili, I just pour it directly into the toilet. It's like time-traveling 20 minutes into the future.
What is blue and smells like red paint? Blue paint.
If you think that taking 21 shots on your 21st birthday is hard, just remember how hard it was for your 8th birthday.
My friend told me about how he tried to commit suicide by taking 20 Advils. Doesn't he know that he could've just taken 4 Aleves?
Do you think if Jesus was on the penny, it would be called a JC Penny?
Inner monologue of a taxi driver going by a Neo-Nazi rally
"Alright, a customer!...damn, false alarm...Alright, a customer!...damn, false alarm...Alright, a customer!...damn, false alarm..."
Sometimes, late at night I lay in bed, stare at the stars and wonder... where the hell did my roof go?
I got my dog from an orphanage like, twelve years ago. Those orphans STILL hold a grudge.
When you're fat, every shirt is a sweat-shirt.
How they named Delaware
Explorer: Where am I? Native: Delawzqeuxquzrenapolis Explorer: Delawhere?
I got punched in the face last week and it really hurt my feelings. Especially the feelings in my face.
Why is it that when I watch all the seasons of South Park back-to-back, it's called a "marathon," yet when I run 26 miles and stab 15 people along the way, it's called a "spree?"
If a jury finds someone guilty of prostitution, it's probably not a great idea for the judge to sentence him/her to community service.
Angry student: You mark my words, highlighter! You mark my words...
Bob Dylan hosts Jeopardy!
Dylan: The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind.
Contestant: What is my kite?
I thought it was ironic when my grandma started choking on a Life Saver, until it cured her cancer.
I really hate swimming. Except when I'm drowning. Then I suddenly think its awesome.
Do you think hookers go as moderately clothed college girls for Halloween?
My Grandmother just turned 84 last week. I sent her a birthday card with a check for $10 in it.
An RA came into my room yesterday and confiscated all of my weed, and I thought "That's funny, I don't live in the dorms"
I was in the hospital and I heard from one of the rooms, "Don't worry everyone, I'm gonna beat this thing." Which I thought was a really positive thing to say, until I realized it came from the maternity ward.
Could whoever is giving homeless people markers please stop? Their signs are really bumming me out.
Worm 1: Feel that? Its raining.
Worm 2: Wanna go out and die on the sidewalk?
Worm 1: God yeah.
My girlfriend saw me on the toilet and got so grossed out. I was like, "Everybody does it." And she was all like, "Let me finish peeing first."
I tried using one of those "self check-out" lines at the grocery store once, but everyone just laughed at me. Next time I'll just stick with the doctor's office.
I think the best word to describe me would be "unable to follow self imposed word count guidelines."

Prediction
I LOVE the song "Hooked On You" by Jennifer Lopez. It isn't released yet. For some unknown reason, my dance teacher here in Spain has it on CD. It is a GREAT new song.
I guarantee it will be a huge hit when it comes out and it will be EVERYWHERE.
Listen to it now to be super cool and already know about it when it comes out...
check it out on youtube...

All My Single Ladies!
Recently one of my friends broke up with her boyfriend.
As a result, she felt the need to listen to "SINGLE LADIES" by Beyonce...many, many times a day.
If I wanted to express the happiness about being single, I wouldn't want to listen to the techno-pop treble epileptic seizure that is that song.
Therefore, I made my own "Breakup/being single" playlist. I honestly don't know about the whole breakup thing since I've never had a serious boyfriend, but still I think these songs show it well enough.
PS, most of this is pop music...just b/c it's easier to search through my 10000 iTunes songs for extremely obviously named breakup songs, usually falling in the pop music category. Also, the girl I made the list for doesn't really like non-pop music, so Buddy Guy was out of the question...
Kate Nash "Shit Song"
Because the chorus is... "Darling don't give me shit cuz I know that you're full of it."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3kxQgC7uXw
All American Rejects "Gives You Hell"
Because the chorus is..."When you see my face, hope it gives you hell."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l06M-dsQf3Q
Aly & AJ "Potential Breakup Song"
Allmusic.com gave this a surprisingly high rating for a couple of Disney-spawned music makers. This works because of "Who would forget that? The type of guy who doesn't see what he has until she leaves."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqpA5Acc8-c
No Doubt "Ex-Girlfriend"
Lyrics snippet: "I kinda always knew I'd end up your ex-girlfriend"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ff_GbnpDzwQ
Rilo Kiley "Breakin Up"
"betrayal is a thorny crown, you wear it well"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7MFL9eNqVM (Live)
Miley Cyrus "GNO, Girl's Night Out"
"It's a girl's night, I'm alright without you."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUhJ6JGMwbo
Rilo Kiley "Portions for Foxes"
"My friends tell me to leave you; That you're bad news, bad news, bad news"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FH_bvXf1-yM (Live)
Skye Sweetnam "Number One"
I just love her style. Here she is shouting her single ladies new anthem, "Now I'm living on the run, lookin' out for Number One."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qItk22hBtEU
Natasha Bedingfield "Single"
"[I] Don't depend on a guy to validate me...I'm single (Right now) That's how I wanna be"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxTgK29qRCo
The Guess Who "No Time"
"No time for the love you send; Seasons change and so did I"
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oqeSUAlI5uI
Enjoy.
