Thank you, Internet.
I know I’ve been absent as of late from this website, but I have good reason! I’ve been living in real time (most of the time) and it leaves me with little to no time or will to update beyond performances and quick uploads of pictures. You all know I can’t stay away long, though. The internet, she beckons.
Coming back to this site and TCBin’ like it ain’t no thang but a chicken wang (wing?) brought me one step closer to bliss with this spam comment I received:
punctilious post. due one decimal where I quarrel with it. i am emailing you in detail.
Is it just me or is the internet becoming pure poetry?
Some people love the 80s, but I love the internet. Sure, you have to reach into a rather alarmingly large pile of fecal matter to discover a golden nugget of joy, but those nuggets are usually breathtaking in their internetiness. Are you ready to have your MIND BLOWN? Here are my Top 5 time wasters on the internet.
Coilhouse: A Loveletter to Alternative Culture
Coilhouse is quite possibly the best conglomeration of art, hilarity, strange and unusual, politics, fashion and pop culture. In addition to being a regularly updated blog, the creators of Coilhouse also churn out a quarterly magazine that is absolutely gorgeous, innovative in design, and filled to the edge with meaty spreads and interesting articles.
Everything is Terrible: If everything is terrible, then nothing is.
Everything is Terrible is truly the best of the worst. The curators of this gem scour the internet and old vhs tapes to edit and create some of the most awkwardly funny clips. I’ll let my favorites speak for the site:
Married to the Sea: The Champagne of Comics
Married to the Sea is a daily webcomic by a husband and wife duo, Drew and Natalie Dee. The comics are comprised of public domain clip art and funny phrases. They tend to favor Victorian imagery, so you can imagine why I love them. Go to the site, hit random, and enjoy.
Best Week Ever
Best Week Ever has kept me laughing for a little over two years. I remember getting to their site by some random google search and seeing the phrase “dial the douche down a crotch.” Well, needless to say, it was love at first LOL. (That was the most awful thing I’ve ever typed.) Best Week Ever is basically pop-culture commentary in easy to digest nuggets with sprinkles of absurdist humor. They at one point had a weekly contest where they’d get all the readers to make a Blingee out of certain photos from the week and they’d post the best of them. These Hugh Jackman Blingees are my favesies.
Texts from Last Night: Aww hell nah!
What could I possible say about Texts from Last Night that would fully encompass the pure, unadulterated awesome that is this website? Nothing. There’s nothing to be said. I give up. Here are some 160 character or less gems from it:
(702): the party we crashed was not a party. the party we crashed was jens grandads funeral.
(908): i just found five singles in my underwear?! im suspicious but delighted none the less
(717): hey this is lauren, i have to type for jon because he’s convinced the tongs he’s holding are his real hands
I don’t know about you, but I’m really glad I didn’t have texting and websites like this when I was was a young derelict. As a slightly older derelict, I try to monitor what I text to people while I’m drunk. That’s what you get with old age, self control.
