I’ve been a lover of coffee since Mr Bilicic’s 9^th grade honors English class. Now, I may be more than a little outspoken about my love for Dunkin (being an expat will make you a little crazy about the things you can’t get… thankfully my move to Cologne fixed that problem), but I honestly don’t think I could bring myself to go so far as this couple in proclaiming that love.

Sure there’s a lighthearted back story about overcoming flooding from earlier this year and flowers and rainbows and coffee percolating in the background but…. Srsly?

They’d better hope this marriage lasts, or they’ll never be able to look at that pink and orange logo the same way again.

(or by the vague mention of one… whatever)

A new job wherein I spend a lot of time sitting at a desk pretending to do work has allowed me to troll the blog- and newsosphere like never before. My gchat status has, of late, been the platform for interesting news stories. But now they will be broadcast for the world as useless news.

For starters (and the article that prompted the resurgence of the site) we have an inspirational story with both technology and heart. No, not robot love but a one-armed man who, with the help of Nokia, is now able to use a smartphone like the rest of the free world.

For a minute, try to tap out a text message with one hand. Or tweet with only five fingers. My guess is, even autocorrect can’t help you. These are the hardships that this man has had to deal with, but no longer! I’m just waiting to see what kinds of upgrades are available. I’m thinking a 5.1 speaker system, projector… the possibilities are endless.

i just tweeted the one story, but then happened upon a second one and thought that was enough to warrant a short post.

because, honestly, ive been feeling a little down in the dumps about my romantic prospects (or lack thereof) recently. but i never thought of these two methods of luring potential lovers.

and i doubt i will ever be desperate enough to use either.

discounted pressure washers and calling 911 for sex? where do people come up with this shit?

thats the thing about ‘Murricans… we always work hard to attain the things that are most important to us.

like a guy without use of his arms being allowed to hunt.

innovation at its finest.

in all honesty, this is not funny. people were injured.

but based on the headline alone, this had to be posted. because my first thought was that it was the other way around, a buggy hit-and-run a car. or another buggy.

now that would be funny.

i love the amish.
