Derp Roundup

I used to shop at HailMartâ„¢ until they started doing those Holy Rollbacks.

Your hair may be held at a government facility for several weeks, but you can still talk to it through the glass.

Is there anything better than a personolized apple? Besides a persololized one, I mean? If I could just get a trolololized one, I’d be pretty fucking psyched.

Oh, I’m pretty sure there’s enough jerking going on Burning Man. Especially at the Jiffy Lube Camp.

Okay, it’s not a mouse. But in their defense, it may have been mislabeled on Alibaba.

I love breaded leather almost as much as I love suede-ish meatballs.

    Spelling aside, I’m kind of in love with that apple cozy – makes the fruit look like it’s all set to rob a bank!

      Me, too–I’m a little embarrassed at how much I want one. Especially if it’s persolololololized.

        That will teach that bitch at work, with her perfect little leather-bound planner that matches her checkbook, who never has any loose receipts in the bottom of her purse. I have an apple in a persolololoized cozy. I bet she never even heard of that.

        It’s not a cozy, it’s a vest to keep the apple from bruising, silly. Because everyone knows that apples bruise like peaches.

      I have knitted fruit cozies before. I have a lot of shit in my purse and I throw fruit in there for the kid to snack on so that he’s not begging me for whatever crap he sees at the store. It does keep the apples or whatever from getting poked with inkpens, knitting needles, getting gum stuck on it. Yeah, I know, I could clean my purse, but that’s no fun.

We took it to a nearby hillside and set it free and withing about 15 seconds a hawk came out of nowhere and snatched the mouse up.
