Jimpony submitted this evidence that the apocalypse is upon us: Hot Chicks with Douchebags. The guys in these photos should be put to sleep. Douchebaggery is punishable by death.

Here’s a way to kill a few minutes today while you’re pretending to work…

Yankee/Dixie Quiz

I scored 77% which puts me well into the Dixie range. I reckon I’m a true southerner, y’all.

Enjoy, douchebags.

Sort of… The blog legends over at Daily Kos linked up our “Gonna-get-me-in-trouble” blonde joke. It’s an internet prank thingy that really just pisses readers off. So we’ll see a spike in the hit-counter today, but we’re probably not earning any new readers from it. Oh well.

You know the situation. You’re sitting at your desk at work, reading up on the latest gossip at Celebrity Scoop or giggling at gaytarded criminals over at Odd Planet when suddenly your boss is standing right behind you. Everyone knows that minimizing the window just won’t cut it. You’re fucking busted, dude.

Here’s something that might help: Work Friendly. It’s a web tool that makes regular websites look like a word document. And if your boss sneaks up behind you, he won’t immediately realize you’re surfing. You’ll have plenty of time to hover over the “Boss Key” on the top left, which switches the web page to a screen full of bland corporate-speak.

Happy surfing, fuckers.

It’s that time of year again. Time to Air your Grievances around the Festivus pole while warming up for the Feats of Strength. And nobody does Festivus quite like the boys over at The Airing of Grievances. Stop by and tell ‘em JJ sent you. (You can read my Grievances here.)

Fucking funny.

This is totally not safe for work. Britney Spears flashed her vagina for the paparazzi and The Superficial has the pics (if that doesn’t work, try this link). You all know I don’t normally post celebrity smut, but this is Britney’s shaved cooch we’re talking about. Follow the link at your own risk.

Catch says this tattoo is “gross”.  That may be the case, but I’d lean more toward “so gross it’s awesome”.  Check out the tattoo in full context here.

FragSponsor takes video gaming to the next level with sponsorship programs

RICHMOND, Va.(Oct. 10, 2006) – Serious about gaming? So are we. With a target operational date of February 2007, FragSponsor will open the doors for video game enthusiasts around the world to enhance the way they game through corporate sponsorships.

FragSponsor has developed a number of sponsorship programs available to all gamers, featuring a variety of packages for both individuals and groups. All members will receive full access to the FragSponsor site, where they can choose and negotiate industry sponsorships, meet other players, and get discounts. Membership also allows access to the FragStore, the site’s exclusive gaming store.

“Gamers will get to pick who they want from our list,” said co-founder Brian Atkinson. “There is no resume or proposal process.  Joining gives a member access to the sponsors of his or her choice. So yes, gamers are guaranteed sponsors just for joining.”

FragSponsor maintains a comprehensive sponsor list, not just for game manufacturers, but for a member’s lifestyle. Members receive access to the exclusive sponsor list, where every sponsor deal is listed for their choice. Sponsorships last for one year, at which time gamers may renew current sponsors or choose new ones.

Right now FragSponsor is encouraging gamers to go to their site and join the mailing list so that they can be kept in the loop for exciting developments in the coming months.  “We just want people to know what we are about and that we are getting ready for a launch sometime around the first of the year,” Atkinson said.

FragSponsor co-founder and avid gamer Brandon Atkinson got the idea for a sponsorship business after seeing other industries develop similar packages.

A comprehensive package description of pricing and the different levels of sponsorship will be released in the near future.

Long long ago in a galaxy far far away there was some dude named Jesus. Some people thought he was kind of a big deal. Other people thought he sucked big time. And then they killed him.

I’m not too clear on the other parts of the story, but I think there’s something about a naked dude who ate a bad piece of fruit. I think he got sick or something. Anyway, I’m getting a little off track here.

So this Jesus dude died or whatever. Then something else happened and then some more stuff happened. Now, 2000 years later, people keep thinking they see his face on stuff. Like on a burned tortilla or a grilled cheese sandwich. I’m not sure what their problem is - maybe they’re delusional or something.

But now, Jesus is making a very special appearance in a very special place. I’ve posted a picture of it here. Can you guess what this very special place is? The answer will magically appear after the jump.

Nairi took this picture in Old City, Philadelphia.  Apparently it’s a sticker posted in a storefront window - and there are others that say “Fuck off, we’re closed” or “Sorry, we’re dead.”  Check out Nairi’s other pictures over at Citynoise.org.

1. Go to the Google Image Labeler game.
2. If you have a G-Mail account, ”Change your nickname” so you don’t appear on the high score list as “Guest”.
3. Click “Begin”.
4. As each picture appears, type in a word that you think describes that picture.  You’ll be paired up with some random stranger who is also trying to name the pictures.  Type as many suggestions as it takes to get a match.
5. Each time you and your partner type the same name for a picture, you’ll get points.

Google is using the info collected from the game to update their Google Image Search results.

Thanks to Google Blogoscoped for the link.  And when you get bored with this one, check out their list of other Google Games.

Snakes on a muthafuckin’ plane!

I can’t believe I’ve lived in Philly for more than a year and I’m just finding out about this:

(pic borrowed from flickr)

People refer to them as “Toynbee tiles.”  They started appearing embedded in Philadelphia streets back in the 80’s.  Sometimes they’re bigger than license plates, other times as small as a business card.  And they all have a similar message:

TOyNBEE IDEA
MOViE 2001
RAiSE DEAD (or RESURRECT DEAD)
PLANET JUPiTER

Check out the videos from Philly’s local ABC station for a quick primer.  And here’s a news clip from St. Louis.

People have found at least 130 of them in various cities over the years, including Philly, New York, St. Louis, even Rio de Janeiro.  Toynbee.net has a relatively extensive list of known locations.  There are several possible explanations for their origin and meaning.

Most people say it’s a link between the Stanley Kubrick’s 2001 and the writings of British historian Arnold Toynbee.  Others claim it has something to do with a Ray Bradbury story.  And some even believe it’s a reference to a David Mamet play.  Wiki has a lot of info on these theories.  There’s even more over at Resurrect Dead, a website run by filmmakers who are shooting a documentary on the subject.

Fascinating shit…
