Yelptards: A new series on Iced Tea & Sarcasm
It came to me today that I should share the wealth of ridiculous photos on Yelp with my IT&S readers. I thought I would call them Yelp Douchbags, but Yelptard works better for me. It’s one word, two syllables, and has a better chance of offending the developmentally disabled community. Anywho, for installment #1, I give you Hunter. He had several photos that would qualify, but this...
No, the Cassini Isn't a New Cocktail: Reflection...
via nasa.gov Move over Moon River, now there’s Titan Lake. I feel simultaneously smaller in the universe but more excited by its vast strangeness when I see these kinds of photos. What we don’t know so completely outstrips what we do, and that, my friends, makes this stuff so interesting. Any time someone attempts to offer a grand unifying theory of the hows and whys of the...
I'm pretty sure I'm suffering from Derealization
Derealization is an alteration in the perception or experience of the external world so that it seems strange or unreal. Other symptoms include feeling as though one’s environment is lacking in spontaneity, emotional coloring and depth.

Shopping in San Francisco
It’s the holidays in SF. I forgot that when I went out yesterday. All the people are insane, and I’m convinced that they’re all tourists or suburbanites. Can’t we San Franciscans have one or two days to shop in peace? Happy holidays? Posted via email from toddx’s posterous | Comment »
I am Fluffy, Destroyer of Worlds
via 12.media.tumblr.com I’ve heard of teacup dogs before, but this is ridiculous. I hope it’s a violent breed. I bet Jonathan Safran Foer would eat this little guy in one bite. Posted via web from toddx’s posterous | Comment »
This is all I want for Xmas
What? Oh, sure, people can buy Snuggies at Walgreens, but I can express a deep desire to be swaddled in pink plush bunny pajamas with footies? Jeez. Posted via web from toddx’s posterous | Comment »
The Real Story of Twilight [SCANDAL]
I couldn’t resist sharing this. People crack me up. P.S. Taylor, call me. Posted via web from toddx’s posterous | Comment »
Fashion Victim Deals with Student Uprising:...
via boingboing.net This poor woman was confronted by an eerily happy, smiling mob of fashion-hating Syracuse students protesting her questionable use of corduroy. Why can’t we just get along people? When will we learn to accept people for their differences and “live and let live”? Why must we be so judgmental? So filled with hate? So “HAPPY” to attack people...
Tastes like high blood pressure
via nytimes.com This is my nomination for the most amazing thing I’ve seen today. And, well, since I’m the ultimate judge for what I think is amazing, I guess this slab of pink Himalayan salt wins. Look, I like food as much as the next person. No, I’m not a foodie but I know several. And, I was initially excited by this product. It looks cool and I can imagine the...
Three reasons to just hug it out
via graphics8.nytimes.com 1. Monkey 2. Giraffe 3. Elephant-like creature that also seems a little alien and kind of scares me. These are available at DWR.com for only $39 each in case you’re still shopping for my Xmas gift. Posted via web from toddx’s posterous | Comment »
