Case for nerdy:
1. You thought ahead to yourself, "Honey, we take so many self-portraits of each other that come out JUST BARELY WRONG... never again!"
2. At least you HAVE someone to take a picture with.
3. It requires you to pick from several adaptors depending on your camera.

Do they think they're going to get decapitated? Because I've never heard of a single person hitting their head on a helicopter blade. Not even a nick, or a buzz cut.

As part of the column-making process (nothing like childbirth, but something like raising a child), I ask new columnists to sum up their column in a short description.

That is the question among many of the people who submit articles to PIC.
Very often, I will get one of the following types of notes attached to submissions:
I wrote this article. I don't know if it's too vulgar, but I hope not. I could probably edit out the bad words and stuff if you want.

Some of you may remember me from my previous piece, “The Ass Strike,” in which I documented a power struggle between me and my power hungry asshole.

This guy's post is exactly how I feel about TV these days: While trashy TV may seem like harmless fun, watch enough of it and your own daily thoughts will slowly disintegrate into trash as well. This is the way big media is beating up consumers mentally these days.
Why do they want to do this?

Long story short: In 2001 Evite was bought by IAC (the multi-billion dollar company that owns Ticketmaster, Ask.com, Expedia, HotWire, Match.com, etc) and set on auto-pilot because there was no real competitor.

Is there a such thing as getting too much funny? Like if you leave TBS on in the background for long enough, eventually you even lose the motivation to laugh at Family Guy.

When somebody tells me something has a 50/50 chance of happening, it's like filling out an entire question and answer survey with "n/a" - you get absolutely no information and the whole thing was pointless.

Whenever I carry a 12-pack or more of toilet paper out of the store, I feel like everybody thinks I have diarrhea. Or that something else is really wrong with my butt. It wouldn't be so bad if those big multi-packs could actually fit in a plastic bag. But they can't. You always have to carry them free-hand. Like a case of beer.
