Nobdi gives a shit

*knock*

-Who's there?
-Nobdi
-Who is it?
-It's Nobdi
-If's no one's there, who's talking?
-Nobdi!
-Stop this crap! How can you not be somebody?
-I am somebody! I am Nobdi!
-Oh gawd he gets metaphysical and shit
-Will you let me in?
-I'll let nobody in!
-So open the door!
-If there's nobody there, why should I?
-So Nobdi can come in!
-Go to hell
-But...what did Nobdi do?

*gunshot*

And again...

Discussing Usain Bolt's eligibility for the NFL, he cracks another Jamaica joke:

"Then again, we don’t know when Bolt graduated from high school, or if he even attended. Indeed, the term “high” school in Jamaica might have an entirely different meaning."

What the hell? I guess there's a reason these people are writing sports columns and not Conan O'Brien's jokes (I should hope they're better than this...)

Oh, they think they're so funny

Mike Florio, on a piece for profootballtalk.com:

"We just saw Jamaica’s Usain Bolt set the world record in the 200-meter dash. And the first thing that came to mind was this."

How fast would he be if he hadn’t spent much of his life breathing second-hand marijuana smoke?

Hardy. Har. Har. Let's poke the drug taboo.

The Power of Natasha

From Grant Wahl's article about the Brazilian loss today:

"Surely the Brazilian fans will be in full force. Caipirinhas! Samba! Scantily-clad soccer-loving beauties!"

We all know about the two clichés, but wow, caipirinhas first?

(yes, this was mostly to mess with formatting)

EDIT: Ohmigod what an awful pun at the end: "It's fun to stir the pot, even when it's a pot of Brazilian feijoada."

This man knows how to live, damn

Divison

It's an interesting dilemma. On the one hand, materialism is harmful to people in that it creates a false sense of inadequacy to those who don't have enough shit (and no one does). On the other hand, world economy is booming (relatively at least) in part because people are buying so much shit. Where do you draw the line?

Hah

I was looking for a picture of a homeless man next to a car, meaning to make social commentary. This, however, is better:

In hindsight...

When you're young, you're as light as air; when you're old, you feel heavy. It's as if the burden of years piles up on your back
