Buy Or Don’t Buy

Really?  Really?  We’re going to do this again?  Everyone knows what’s going to happen already:  Obama is going to win, the pundits will bust a nut over McCain, and the gap in the polls will grow another 3 points.
Can we just fucking have the election already?  Obama is up in Missouri - does that register [...]

I usually hate birthdays. I think it’s really vain to force yourself (and guilt everyone you know) into celebrating THE arbitrary day that THE MAN says marks the anniversary of your birth. What’s up with that? One year older and closer to death - hey, let’s celebrate that! Usually I say [...]

I saw this picture on an image board I frequent and it reminded me of the culturally significant website that wants to ban Comic Sans. People are font snobs. I guess I’m a font snob too. I have to admit Comic Sans and Jokerman are both atrocious, but they have their (ironic?) [...]

When Buy Or Don’t Buy first started, some 12 internet years ago (which is about 2 months in IRL time) we wanted to introduce ourselves to the world, and make our friends jealous with a big party.  Time passed.  Our schedules got full.  Hurricanes came and went.  And after 107 articles, we are just now [...]

Dear AOL Journals User, (is that me?)
We’re sorry to inform you that on Oct. 31, 2008, AOL® Journals will be shut down permanently. (OH NO!) We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. (Is this some kind of a sick Halloween trick or treat? Knock-knock, who’s there?, AOL and we’re taking away [...]

Shit like this tends to rekindle my respect for fading talk show hosts. Apparently John McCain had to ’suspend’ his appearance on the David Letterman show to, like, get vulnerable with Katie Couric about the economy. Needless to say, Letterman’s reaction is an instant classic, and may be the final nail in the [...]

Hey losers, guess what?  It’s National Singles Week. That’s right, now you actually have an excuse for being a pathetic human being no one could possibly love. (Psha, like you needed one)
Just ask me. I’m totally, irrevocably single for life. There was a time when that bothered me, but I got over [...]

So, I spend a lot of time on the internet.  Probably way more than I should.  And one thing I’ve picked up on in the last week, across image boards, blogs, random comments on articles, yes, even Gawker is that WaMu is gonna be DOA, and that anyone who has money there (WaMe!) might be [...]

The Truth is out there!
I think I’ve managed to devise a really quick and easy way to sort out whether or not a person is worth my time: Asking them how they feel about 9/11 Truth Activists and judge them based on their response.

If they get all pissed off and indignant about how ‘Truthers’ [...]

So, if I have the story correct, I think the guy on the ground attempted to rob one of the baggy t-shirt dudes in this video with a tiny little razor as his weapon.  In the middle of the day.  In Brooklyn.
Everyone around was all “NO FUCK THAT” and ran to intervene.  They surrounded the [...]
