Breaking: Vegans are as gullible as Catholics When It Comes To Condoms → gothamist.com

ahem

OK, so we have to ask. What makes a condom vegan-friendly? Well, first, we didn’t set out to start a vegan-condom company. But to answer your question, there is a dairy by-product called casein in almost every condom in the US. There are three other vegan-friendly brands, only one of which is available in the US I think. All very not well known, but they all don’t use casein, which gives them a vegan friendly status. My uncouth joke is that since we don’t have dairy in our condoms that sort of by default makes our condoms kosher as well.

#ha ha oh wow #no really
karma

as i made fun of a friend who is stuck in new york, the wind blew down my neighbor’s rather large tree a few inches from the window. while i heard the cracking and snap, it took me a moment to look over and see the actual fall.

i grabbed my computer and threw it into another chair that seemed to be a safe distance away from where the tree could hypothetically crash through my wall and onto me. i did not grab my cat.

my cat, also watching the tree falling towards us, did not move. she has since switched positions and continues to glare at me. 

i assume this is how karma works as there are now a number of peruvian men outside taking chainsaws to the tree. especially with peruvian men and chainsaws.

Hammer To Nail VOD Report for December → hammertonail.com

in which I state the case you REALLY need to watch Helen, Peepli [LIVE], The Cartel, Patrick Stewart Macbeth and never ever watch Standing Ovation unless you are babysitting.

The Lawrence/Julie & Julia Project → lawrenceandjulieandjulia.blogspot.com

interweber:

365 days. 365 viewings of Julie & Julia. 

One boy and his Netflix Instant account.

How far will it go? Probably, for like a week or something—until the gimmick wears out its welcome. But until then, we can only wait. And wait. And wait…

The Lawrence/Julie & Julia Project. Coming soon to a computer terminal near you.

not only does this NOT get annoying, it gets better as the days progress and so far has greatly amused me with Day 6 and Day 8 respectively.
