You Intimidate Me, Interwebz...

I hate the fact that I don't know every single super-awesome website that exists on the interwebz at all times. I may have slightly high expectations but really, what else should I be spending my time doing? Luckily, I have lots of engineer friends who have mad web searching skillz and they send me stuff. They are always showing me that they really are the cat's pajamas!

Here's some random, interesting shite I've found recently: 

Pants (Need to be) On The Ground 

I came across this gem in the Social Media section of my all time fav site http://www.mashable.com/. Apparently, a bunch of whiny beotches perusing the Ann Taylor "Loft" Facebook site weren't very pleased with the new silk cargo pants. Not because there was anything wrong with the pants but those insensitive bastards at Loft had the nerve to put them on a 6ft tall, size 2, blonde model. Shameful. After enough haters complained, Loft pulled a few employees from Shipping, Marketing, Tech Pubs, IT and possibly the nighttime cleaning crew and photographed them as "real" women in their silly, silky cargo pants. You got size 2 to 12 for real women here people. The pic on the left is "Julie", a Loft Digital Programs Manager. She's 5'3 and a size 6. You're doing well if you're a size 6, that's just hot. After reading this article, and seeing the pants on a "real" model, albeit still a skinny one, I have concluded that no matter what size they're on, they're still fucking hideous.

What Oil Spill?

Vallewag.gawker writes: "Google has drastically cut back their budget on the culinary program. How is it affecting campus? No more dinner. No more tea trolley. No more snack attack in the afternoon." The changes will be announced to Googlers on Monday. Workers at the Googleplex will remain amply fed, with free breakfast and lunch — dinner will be reserved for geeks only — but it's still a shocking cutback." Next thing you know they will block icanhascheezburger.com and someone will purposefully unleash a worm in Gmail! You heard it here first.

Freakin' Cool!

Found on instructables.com: This is the KidWash PVC Sprinkler Water Toy. Even if your parents run a meth lab for a living they can afford this! Too bad there's not a vodka spigot coming out of the house.

Blowhard?

Foxnews.com: A South African woman ruptured her throat while taking part in a vuvuzela-blowing competition, but said Friday she was recovering with no permanent damage. "It took about two days to heal, by Monday I was feeling fine. I just hope there is no permanent damage, but it doesn't seem like it," said Yvonne Mayer from Cape Town, according to the Sapa news agency."  I knew a girl in high school who "ruptured her throat" but it didn't really involve an instrument like this if you know what I mean.

eBling?

 YOU GO Tiffany for more easily enabling young, dumb boys in love to spend a bazillion dollars on a ring for the woman who will eventually take half of their 401ks.  I think this is a cool app, especially for those who are overwhelemed by the excess "Tiffany Green" plastered throughout the actual store.  The coolest feature is the ring sizer so the chick can compare her sausage link to virtual circle sizes to ensure the boy gets the uber perfect platinum.  So much for the surprise!



And finally, the "tweetfortheday" on twitter.com is "When ants unite, they can skin a lion." IRANIAN PROVERB. Okay, I'll buy that.

XOXO,
