Buy: This Submission to I Can Has Hot Dog

They’re making a sequel to the cat cheezburger book. It’s with dogs.

Right??

Buy: This Random Peeps vs. Period Test

How cool is this Peeps v. Always absorption test?

Now that is raw, hands-on journalism.

Buy: Mr. Bucket

I’m Mr. Bucket. Put your balls in my top. I’m Mr. Bucket. The balls fly outta my mouth. I’m Mr. Bucket.

Still waiting for Mrs. Bucket to come out, am I right?

Buy: Fake Trailers

Sundays are usually spent looping old movie trailers (from 2001’s Sweet November ["Redemption's not for sale today."] to 1992’s Home Alone 2 [Chris Columbus' best?]).

But let me tell you something: Little Mikey? He was my stepbrother. My stepbrother.
And now he’s dead.

Don’t Buy: Quirk

Scene: A family, ripped literally in half by divorce (he LITERALLY ripped his head off!), sits around a dining room table. The catch? The father works in latex, the family is kosher, and they keep half their silverware in condoms.

No wait–too dirty/unPC. The mother only speaks around words from her word-a-day calendar, and the daughter [...]

Buy: Gucci

Toto, I’m not in college anymore.

Don’t Buy: Milk on Layaway

So milk spoils pretty fast, I guess.
