I have spent a long time, starting at birth and continuing until this very moment, evolving into the kind of person who could not possibly like a movie like this, and I like to think the effort was not in vain.

Naked man in carton is deemed too fresh

Man, a guy gets arrested in cardboard pants the ONE day this week that I didn't walk through the Ped Mall. Dangit.

BTW, this is a weird town.

I may have seen this list before, but it doesn't stop these Bad Analogies from being funny:

The little boat gently drifted across the pond exactly the way a bowling ball wouldn't.

From the attic came an unearthly howl. The whole scene had an eerie, surreal
quality, like when you're on vacation in another city and "Jeopardy" comes on at 7 p.m. instead of 7:30.

Her date was pleasant enough, but she knew that if her life was a movie this guy would be buried in the credits as something like "Second Tall Man."

Long separated by cruel fate, the star-crossed lovers raced across the grassy field toward each other like two freight trains, one having left Cleveland at 6:36 p.m. traveling at 55 mph, the other from Topeka at 4:19 p.m. at a speed of 35 mph.

John and Mary had never met. They were like two hummingbirds who had also never met.

I LOVED the conclusion of The Assistant. Even to the end, Andy was hilarious and stupid. He chose my favorite, Melissa, and was as mean as possible to the idiot Mark (well, I guess they were all idiots to some degree, but he was also a jerk). I had guessed she won anyway, I swear I saw her doing an interview on MTV as lead up to the VMAs.

I'm about to get back to studying, really, but I have to ask... why did Puff Daddy (I don't acknowledge the new name) just show up to the MTV music awards with Bruce Willis? Randomness.
I love squirrels, so I usually discount stories of squirrel attacks, but this one is just down-right scary... and hilarious ("This was no ordinary squirrel. This was not even an ordinary pissed-off squirrel. This was an evil attack squirrel of death.")

Oh and speaking of scary, the pictures may not be original (though I don't recall the original internet store that sells these costumes), but the cast and stories of CAT TOWN are scary on a whole different level.
