Twitter is fucking stupid. But I admit, I’m on there. I kinda want to follow Mitch Hedberg, but I’m a little scared.
I also want to follow an amnesiac.
Oh, look. I ate corn last night.
Or an alcoholic vegetarian.
That’s called a dangling modifier, kids.
Friday was National Grammar Day. But that’s over. And today is actually National Write Whateverthefuck You’d Like With No Chance Of Repercussion Because Your Eighth Grade English Teacher No Longer Rules Your Life And Can Go Suck A Bag Of Dicks Day.
We should have a parade. But we’ll have to keep it short enough to fit on Twitter.
This post is conveniently in 140,000 characters. That way Aram doesn’t have to tweet.
I think that’s what being a Power User gets you.
Dear Jeff Dunham,
Please go away. You have funny voices, but your jokes are crap. I’d rank you in between Frank Caliendo and Sport Coat Willie out at the J Street rail station.
Kisses,

Dancing Dan has a Facebook page. Congratulations, Mark Zuckerberg. You have created The Information Superstreetcorner.
I think that site exists to make me look like a douche.
My friend: There are no words to truly capture how I feel. The mental and physical exhaustion is all worth it when your patient smiles and is genuinely grateful for your presence. There is so much to be learned from their honesty, resilience, compassion, and wisdom.
Me: I still haven’t showered, but damn this fudge is tasty.
My friend: "i was a heavy heart to carry, but he never let me down. when he held me in his arms, my feet never touched the ground"
Me: (Arrested Development reference)
My friend: "In the United States, for every two men who receive college degrees, three women will do the same. This past year, for the first time, there were more women than men in the workplace." Read the Atlantic article, too.
Me: Look at this picture of my dinner.
My friend: "No artist is pleased. There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer divine dissatisfaction, a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than the others." ~ Martha Graham

I like taking care of myself, but I also like Lebanese food.
I appreciate their honesty.
Why are the drawers for cheese and butter much smaller than the drawers for everything else? This does not reflect my diet.
I’m skinny as fuck, but my inner fat kid is far superior to yours.
I recently 1. Made chocolate chip cookies 2. out of chocolate cake 3. and candy 4. which I then ground up and used as a crust 5. for a cheesecake 6. which I then dunked in milk.
If you are lactose intolerant, I am sorry for how awesome my life is.
I have a fork that is shaped like a raptor claw. +2 man points. It only has 3 prongs, and it’s pointy as fuck, perfect for stabbing and ripping at whatever kind of meat I happen to be eating because I’m a man and I’m totally always eating a lot of meat and stuff, hella. But as with every perfect weapon, there’s a weakness. My kryptonite is rice. I tried to use my fork to get the last rouse on my plate, and I probably ended up burning more calories than I achieved in the end. It sucked. In fact, I’m pretty sure that’s what happened to the dinosaurs. Shut up, you weren’t there.
Are you there, God? It’s me, Bono.
I did a Google Image search for Mohammed. Am I going to hell?
God’s brown and curlies.
I quit studying biology because several years and thousands of dollars later I still didn’t know whether or not fire ants had fire crotches. They should each have three of them, if my calculations are correct. They would be the United Nations Fire Crotch Ambassadors, provided that fire centipedes don’t exist.

Lesbianism (n): The Vagina Dialogues
Jonathan Knight from New Kids on the Block announced that he is gay, which elicited the response from young females everywhere, “What What on the What?”
Which happens to be the title of his latest single.
I probably should be upset that I didn’t invent the term, but I’m ok, considering I don't want to be with someone who does this. It’s not that it’s disgusting or unnatural. I just have no desire to be with someone who feels the need to do this to be happy.
I’d give it about 3 years until it gets popular with rappers.
Va-Jay-Jay-Z.
But what would we call the male equivalent of this?
Gluing shit to your cock.
We’re simple creatures. Straight shooters. We get right to it. No dicking around.
This makes sense, given the theory that tears are an indication of vulnerability, rather than sadness. I like a strong woman. Nothing turns me off more than one who makes herself helpless in the face of easily conquered adversity. And yet, there are men who prefer when the stripper is crying.
That means that if you aren’t right for me, don’t worry. There are plenty of fish in the pants.
I prefer a woman of good melon-quality who makes me pay attention to her upstairs. And if she also has nice boobs, that’s a plus.
I live above a cute girl around the same age as me. She has this aura of an indie rock listening slightly awkward because she’s not wearing her glasses today hating human contact and always on guard in case some fucktard gives her reason to verbally pimp slap them but she’ll be civil to me because I’m probably a douchebag not worth her breath and if she doesn’t contribute to the forward motion of the rapidly dying conversation than I should leave soon yes please soon get the fuck out of my doorway at 5:00 in the fucking afternoon so I can go back to doing or not doing anything else kind of personality.
Yes, please.
The only time we’ve really talked was right after I moved in when I made her cookies to introduce myself and offer the obligatory “I’m here if you need anything.” She then gave me this look like my unsolicited act of neighborly kindness totally skeezed her the fuck out, which I’m pretty sure is why I’m attracted to her.
I doubt anything is going to happen because:
I’m not really a looker.
I’m almost positive she can hear me fart but she can’t hear me work out.
And if she did, she’d probably think I’m attached.
She probably also thinks I’m gay (and not a very good partner) with how often I say, “Goddammit, Kyle!”
Perhaps the only thing I have going for me is that she doesn’t know I write this. I’m a nice guy, but this shit is about as endearing as herpes.
She moved away about a month ago. This is what happens when I skip posting in an effort to freak online daters the fuck out. Everything you’re reading is old news and should be ignored.
And now, this month’s installment of Not A Porn Site: www.kjzz.org
I don’t see all the fuss. It’s just a jzz org.
Remember those comics where you had to find each thing that was wrong?
Find each thing that is wrong. Answers printed upside down at the end.
I realized when I was about 10 years old that Garfield is not funny. I’m not sure if what changed was my mental development or if his best years are simply behind him.
That strip should be renamed “I can has been.”
I like standup comedy, but I don’t watch it because I don’t have cable, and the only network show that features standup comedians is Comics Unleashed.
Their guest list, which changes every night, more often than not consists of D-list comedians.
Will you please welcome…Denny Smith!
Nobody knows who the fuck Denny Smith is. And there’s a reason he is on network. He’s not funny. But sometimes, they’ll spice things up by having forgotten celebrities on the show who are now stand up comedians because they have bills and nobody wants them to act anymore.
Ladies and gentlemen…Pauly Shore!
That helps in that you know before they start talking that you aren’t going to care, and you can go back to concentrating on the person you share a bed with being a frigid bitch.
The show itself is set up like a conversation, but it’s one of those awkward setups where the host only speaks in phrases meant to spark one of the guest’s routines. Fuck lobbing them softballs. They should break into the hard-hitting questions.
So Pauly, what’s the deal with the conflict in Libya?
I’m glad you asked me that, Spanky, because it’s an issue that we’ve been wrestling with for weeks now at the Shore compound. Though my children are convinced that Gaddafi is a menace to the livelihood of the Lybian people at large, they remain in their younger and more vulnerable years while I hold out the possibility that we might be victims of a slightly jingoistic domestic media amalgam who can’t help but serve as a vector for their corporate benefactors and the Neo-Smithian system of late-market capital which maintains their prominence. And regardless, my own independent judgment is skewed by the inherent viewpoints brought unto me by my being a member of the privileged, Caucasian upper class in a traditionally isolationist (when not imperialist) Western society, not to mention my apparent reliance on foreign petroleum and the global financial consequences resulting from conflicting sociopolitical philosophies and the recent unrest and upheaval in the region. And I am the fucking weasel.
My friend: iPhones are trying to make the world seem dummer.
I think this is a good time to tell you that anything you say on Facebook may eventually end up here.
My friend: So this guy in my history class looks like one of the ss Nazis from Indiana jones kinda weird
I know what you mean. Screenwriters today just don’t have the creativity that they used to.
I want to go to North Korea just for the protests.
“What’s the time?”
“IT’S TIME TO GET IL!”
It's on like Kim Jong.
Does your phone have a Geiger counter app?
I kinda hope I drop my phone in the toilet. As far as smartphones go, the Brickberry is a bit of a waterhead.
Someone gave me an individually wrapped piece of candy with 8 words of instructions on how to open it. Is this their sly way of telling me I’m an idiot? Not only are they giving me something that is usually consumed by children, but they’re including an operations manual. This is clearly intended for me because kids don’t read what they eat. If you ask a kid, “What did you eat?” “Candy.” “What kind of candy?” *fidgets* “It was good.” If 8 words of instruction on the package are necessary, they should read “Open it or your ass gets no candy.” Don’t insult me with procedures. But truth be told, I don’t really mind the instructions as much as the associated drawing showing me the exact mechanics I need to employ to achieve the desired outcome. Is this where natural selection has led us? It’s really rather insulting. I’d show you a picture, but I got frustrated after 10 minutes of tugging on the wrapper and I threw it away.
PBJ = peanut butter, beer and jelly. Have you ever eaten something with peanut butter and not had something to drink with it?
Why is “Redneck” not a derogatory term for a Native American? Or a communist? Why must it imply someone who tends to hate those two groups?
Dictionary.com has a word of the day in English and Spanish. But they’re not the same word, which is frustrating. No joke, I would use the Spanish word for “autoschediastical.”
No. Not how David Carradine died.
I can’t be the only one who hopes Dick Cheney dies in an autoerotic waterboarding accident.
When aliens discover the internet, I hope they go here before whitehouse.gov. It always helps to have some context.
I’m a nonfiction writer, so it’s my job to bring people reality. I’m a realitor.
Politicians and pundits getting mad at Jon Stewart is like musicians getting mad at Weird Al or Beavis and Butthead. Nobody made a fuss over “Eat It” or “Total Eclipse of My Bunghole.”
I don’t know if that last one actually happened, but it should have.
My neighbor hung a bedsheet out of her window with all sorts of writing condemning human trafficking within the US. I share her viewpoint, but because I live to the left of her, I can not effectively express my agreement via bedsheet. Most people in this country were taught to read left to right, removing all context from my message. They would look at my sheet first and not know what I refer to when I say, “Hella.”
I’m trying out this super intuitive new browser, but it never assumes what I want it to.
And it’s clearly trying to make me pick a fight with my friends.
My friend: I hate reposts. I also vow to stop retweeting people I follow on twitter. That is all.
Me: I hate reposts. I also vow to stop retweeting people I follow on twitter. That is all.
Facebook has a new game for me to not play, called Cityville. It appears they have run out of ideas. After Farmville, Fishville and all the rest, they have resorted to what is essentially Villeville.
I am going to play the fuck out of Tunafish.

If any of you happen to be working in IT, I know computers are meant to be multitasking devices, but mine keeps spitting Ritalin at me from its disk drive. What does that mean?
You know who was awesome? George Burns.
I just saw the AT&T man pull up, set cones on either side of his van, spend 20 minutes talking on his phone in the driver's seat, pick up the cones and drive away. In a related story, my internet had been spazzing all day and is now working just fine. There is only one explanation for this:
My computer is cheating on me with the AT&T guy.
Yes, right in front of my eyes, he sat out there, cooing on the phone to my moody little Thinkpad, getting it to act like it was several years younger, working in ways that I could only wish for maybe once a year on my birthday.
It’s not like I neglect the thing. I mean, I keep it turned on more often than not. My hands are constantly running across it, pressing buttons, fingers swiping across the heat-sensitive multitouch pad. I even swapped out the hard drive once with the help of another man. But perhaps the part that gets the most attention from me is the trackstick. I always have my finger directly on that little red spot that doesn’t take much pressure to really make things move.
But obviously, that wasn’t enough. It required a whole different type of interaction. And I blame myself for not taking the time to set up, much less use the voice command function. That could’ve really made things kinky.

Funny city name:
Hehe. Lemonwood.
I grew up in a small town, where the local government is referred to as “The Itty Bitty City Committee.”
Today’s reason why my hometown sucks: They sold out a Boz Scaggs show.
I am continuously amazed by the witness protection program. They managed to take John Belushi and reposition him in a much safer role where nobody will pay attention to him:
Aram’s is drawing.
He’s not quadriplegic. He’s quadriplwinning.
Dear World,
See how annoying that shit is? Let’s knock it the fuck off.
This little social experiment will go on roughly until I get kicked off of the site. It's been live for about an hour now, and I already have people contacting me. I see it going down a bit like this:
Congratulations to Natalie Portman and Aram Fresh.
It’s widely known in Hollywood that when you marry your choreographer, you’re just covering up who the real daddy is. The truth is, she took one look at this
and BAM. Pregnant.
Number nine.
Number nine.
Number NEIN!
If you send me your hate mail, I’ll be a little less lonely.
On the plus side, I think I just gained a whole blitzkrieg of Glenn Beck fans.

“I’m a bit jiggler. I jiggle bits.”
I know this shit can seem a tad random, and I feel you. I’ll give you a tip to help you enjoy the rest of this post:
“Please? Can I? Just a tip?”
That was from Chapter 34.
When something happens that irritates me, I tend to say, “Balls.” If you agree, you can then say, “Totes scrotes.”
I’m bringing back the turtleneck. But only in places where no one will notice. Like here.
Sometimes I’ll make a bad decision just so I can use the word “cockamamie.”
Funny name: Tip Blewitt
What's better is that Tip is a dude.
People I can do without:
Anyone who posts pictures of their cat on their keyboard.
Anyone who begins a Facebook post with "Dear Los Angeles."
Or “Deer Beer.”
Pharmacy (adj) - displaying the characteristics of an Iowa whore
Or a cow.
“Next thing I knew…she was all up on me…screaming ‘Yeah!’”
“It’s ok, Mr. Usher. Show us on the doll.”
Do girls spend all day playing with their boobs? Because I do.
Seriously. I think I touch my upstairs junk way more than the average dude.
Ninjas don't have old stomping grounds. When they return to their former homes, they go back to their old sneaking in undetected and snapping everyone's necks like they're fucking twigs, but really they're only wussy little samurai fucktards grounds.
I spent the holidays hanging around the town I grew up in. It was kinda like browsing the new releases section at The Bible Store.

Free million dollar idea for charity: Pink strap-ons for prostate cancer.
Because we have to do something for the dudes.
Some Americans are worried about how we would pay for universal health care. They say it would never work. It works elsewhere. Japan has universal health care. They also have used panty vending machines. In statistics, we call that a direct correlation.
Once you do the numbers, it's a bulletproof system. I think we should adopt it. You know how many sick fucks we have? We'd cover health care costs no problem. We may even have enough money left over for a war or two.
But wait a minute. Do the used panties come with an expiration date? Are they regulated by the USDA as a meat product? We need to work out the logistics.
Fellow nerds: "Working out the logistics" is our new euphemism.
It's also very accurate, considering that's probably what we'd end up doing instead of banging.
But if we did, there would be a lot of screaming “A:\Enter Insert.”
Or “An unexpected I/O error has occurred.”
Funny book name: Dixie Reckoning
People laugh when I say “I’m trying to maintain my girlish figure.” But I’m serious. If I don’t maintain my figure, I won’t be getting any girl ish.

But really, all I want is someone who won’t get mad if I just happened to have eaten a tuna sandwich beforehand.
Breakfast nook (n): You sick fuck.
I like my coffee like I like my coffee.
When someone says “I love you,” I want to say “I love you back,” but I’m usually too afraid that they’re used to people not enunciating. I don’t want them to think I mean it like
Because I really do.
When you progress further into suburbia, the “speed humps” signs change to “speed Bumps,” because the housewives don’t want word to get out that they have vaginas. But I now live in the hood, where the signs simply read “undulations.” We don’t even try to hide it.
Even in the most romantic of situations, “Wanna undulate?” will usually get a negative reaction.
But if they then jump your bones, you know you have a keeper.
I live in an apartment and my neighbor has a girlfriend. But he’s a bit older, so every night I have to try to sleep while hearing them make really serious, in depth conversation.
And all grunting and moaning is followed by a muffled *sploosh*
You’ll have to excuse me. I just got out of the shower. Or as the French call it, “Le quoi?”
It’s ok. I actually have a friend going to school in France, so I have an unprejudiced, appreciative view of their culture.
Dude,
French people are fucking dirty. And I’ve been trying to go to that big museum they have, the Loo, but every time I ask, I end up getting shown the fucking toilet.

Look at her
That’s the face of someone who will make you do bad things.
“ me.”
“ me.”
“ me.”
“ me.”

Unlike her husband, she looks just like her parents. She has Thom Yorke's eye and Chris Rock's neck.
A recent excerpt from my travel dairy:
Dear Dairy,
That gallon was sour. Please replace.
Kisses,

11-30-10 Went to Canada. Ate regular bacon. Feel cheated.
Though I was in a foreign country, the cars were just like the ones in America: Japanese. I was at least hoping for an occasional Canuckrolet.
I’m beyond apologizing. You’ve read this far, you know what you’re getting into.
I was given a ride by a Canadian who wasn't polite enough to use soap. Or maybe he was, but just couldn't reach all the little nooks and hiding places. For those who don't know what fat people smell is like, it's as if you're finding baked beans that have been trapped under a boob for a week and a half.
Apparently, the city I stayed in is a joke around Canada for having a lot of valley girl types.
Some friends wanted me to bring them back something. But then they got all pissed and wouldn’t accept their syphilis.
It appears that the stereotype is true. Canadians are polite to the point of psychosis. When honoring people, they will clap for someone who isn't there because they aren't there.
Maybe it isn’t courtesy. Maybe Canadians are like passive-aggressive Jedi.
And you don’t want to oh that’s ok not really anger a people armed with yaks.
They are a secure nation. Their airport has a white picket fence, sells gas cans on site and is just down the road from Ammo Coffee.
In a town named Bamf.
But despite their squeaky clean exterior, I’m sure there exists a seedy and probably quite hairy underbelly. Where else would they place “Pho Cuang,” “Lube World” and “Meat Market” right next to each other?
20th and J.
But I was a good ambassador. I did my best to educate my hosts on their neighbor’s culture.
“What is the current American slang?” “Well, we say ‘Bootsy’ a lot. In fact, this isn't to get out, but that's soon going to be Diddy's next name.” “Really?” “Yeah. I have the inside information, because I'm from California.”
As fun as CA was, I’m glad to be back in CA. Yes, they have the world’s largest wooden spoon shop (now featuring internet), but you have to come to the good ol’ you ess of eh to experience “Your Car is Your Cage Bear Tours.”
Because it worked so well in Jurassic Park.
I heard Rob Thomas the other day and thought, “…still?”
Hey. A pop culture reference. Like a real, grown-up blogger.
I think The Rocker should’ve been called Rock Tease. Like Shaq before him, I’m pining for Rainn Wilson’s foray into music.
Bearz, Beatz and Battlestar Galactica.
Have you ever had one of those really productive mornings where you think, “Ok. I’m done with wearing pants for the day.” I’ve done that before even putting them on.

All of the pages on Wikipedia now have a banner at the top, which reads: “Please read: A thank you from the founder of Wikipedia.” I’ll save you the trouble of ignoring it and just tell you what it says:

In 2011, I want little more than to live with the knowledge of someone I lost in 2010.
And thank Jebus the Christmas music has stopped. That shit is good for only one thing: sneaking into the DJ booth at a rave and getting a couple thousand high teenagers to simultaneously freak the fuck out.
It’s Grammy season, so grab your senior citizen rifle.
These aren’t your grandma’s old people. Senior citizens today are quick. The generation that grew up with muscle cars now has muscle electric wheelchairs. And the little old lady from Pasadena now has a brand new, shiny, red, super stock Segway.
Antoine Dodson should get a Grammy for best inadvertent pop song about a rape and/or molestation by some idiot in the projects.
