An Ode to Keeping Busy

sometimes when everything goes wrong or bored to near death, its advisable to find some sort of hobby to throw yourself into completely. some people take up crafts - knitting, pottery, paint-by-numbers, chia pets... you get the picture

but no matter what, may none of us never be as bored or as close to the end of my rope as this kid:  
(no matter how awesome/time consuming it is. and it's damn awesome)



(or how much planning it takes... that dress, my friends, coffee filters. all of it. no contest necessary just because she could)
(or how upbeat and catchy the theme song you can create. and it's super dooper catchy)

Embracing the snark:

On this Father's Day, I cannot help but recount the amount of times that I've gotten in trouble with my father figure for misunderstandings of the sarcastic variety. 

Finally people who get it: 

Bar encourages verbal abuse

A Spanish bar is encouraging clients to insult its staff - and offering free drinks for original or hilarious abuse.

"When you come in after work, you can say swear at them and call them bastard or imbecile," said client Antonio Ossa.

He told state news agency EFE the promotion by the Casa Pocho bar, in the southern town of Cullera near Valencia, seemed like a good idea to him.

Polish-born bar owner Bernard Mariusz said he thought people needed somewhere to release their frustrations at a time of economic crisis, employing the Spanish language's rich store of earthy obscenities.

"That way they won't let it out on their family," he said.

Good with Your Hands?

There's nothing wrong with being a skilled interpreter, but enough's enough.

The targets for today Snark Hit List -

Trojan: for their reinforcement of the silent male stereotype...



what they lack in verbal skills they make up elsewhere. giving false hope to women everywhere that their gifted charades partner might "return the favor" for correctly guessing his A Curious Tale of the Dog in the Nighttime pantomime in under a minute. (it's a book. read it)

and Pictionary: for the shameless mockery of the average joe's artistic capabilities...



artists are few and far between, but being an effective and creative guesser is truly a gift lol
