So That Happened Tonight at the supermarket I found myself behind a pretty girl in the checkout line. The universe hates me. Like this story? Did you know I have a book coming out? That's Not OCD, You're Just a Slacker Of all the random pictures floating about the internet that I’ve run into in the past few weeks, this is the one that really got me: Here’s the text: A 23-year old medical student makes lists of all the tasks that he must accomplish each day. Even I, Mr. The medical student in this essay question doesn’t have obsessive-compulsive disorder, it’s just that in the age of slackerdom and ADD, diligence and focus looks like OCD. If you’d like to read more about how effort trumps talent, take a look at Malcolm Gladwell’s Outliers, K. As for making lists and preferring to take your own notes, I think they’re the best way to stay organized and to learn. Finally, the medical student in the question is at least sociable enough to have a girlfriend. So bravo, unknown psych student with a blue pen. This article also appears in The Adventures of Accordion Guy in the 21st Century.
Dear blank, please blank Wenn man nicht aufpasst, kann es passieren, dass man ohne es zu merken gleich mehrere Stunden auf der “Dear blank, please blank” Homepage verbringt. Wenn ich nicht so vorsichtig wär, würde ich wahrscheinlich jetzt noch dasitzen und eine lustige Kurznachricht nach der anderen lesen.

Für diejenigen habe ich hier eine kurze Light-Version zusammengestellt: Die Karten sind hier im Etsy Shop für jeweils 4,50 Dollar erhältlich.

Marc Johns: Drawings on paper towels I did these two below in a Starbucks washroom: New to the site? Look at some more nonsense drawings here. I originally posted these paper towel drawings about 2 years ago to Flickr and Vox, long before I had this site. They have since turned up on a number of blogs (and now tweeted by Ashton Kutcher and Rainn Wilson, and blogged by Urban Outfitters and Alltop), so I thought I'd get in on my own action and post them here. Oh, and one of these photos appears in Rainn Wilson's book Soul Pancake. 25 Great Calvin and Hobbes Strips. Why Bill Watterson is our hero. We've re-launched Progressive Boink, friends! Our new front page is here. Hope you enjoy. Hundreds of comic strips have been published in newspapers. And it's really a shame that it's so difficult to quantify this strip's greatness. Calvin and Hobbes ran from 1985 to 1995. "Virtue needs some cheaper thrills." © Universal Press Syndicate Calvin is an unbelievably intelligent six-year-old. It's kind of refreshing to see a strip that doesn't feel the need to have an uplifting message, or feel like it needs to point out that it's mean to whack an innocent person upside the dome with a snowball. - Jon "He's one of the old gods! One of the top classic Calvin strips. - Bill "You've taught me nothing except how to cynically manipulate the system." Pretty much the voice of Bill Watterson dictating the current state of our school systems. - Nick "We prefer your extinction to the loss of our job." Hobbes' bizarre reply is the icing on the cake. - Jon "It's psychosomatic.

Half-Naked Male Stripper Works the Pole on the Subway Sorry, sweetie. I see I touched a nerve with my comments. Are you a subway dancer? Tell me, Matt, at what age did you first begin to lust for the pole? You made your way home, much to your moms disappointment, and saved your allowance for a speedo i'll bet. Or was it because you already had scabies and chlamydia so you decided, what the hell, why not roll around on the floor of a subway car?? Or was it the naughty thrill of putting your hands and face all over a pole thinly glazed with human sweat and fecal matter?? So many good reasons!! Take it from a person who showers regularly and does not spend any percentage of my day on the floor of a public transportation vehicle, people are, believe it or not, rather comfortable around me. They do not, for example, turn to me and inquire, "Is it me, sir, or do you smell like a homeless mans foreskin?" All in a days work though, right Matt?
