Time travel

I think I may start doing this.

Although I don’t think Donnie Darko is as hard to grasp as the creators of this video seem to think it is, I have to second a commenter on VideoSift and upvote for the old-timey piano rendition of Mad World.

Via Neatorama, a tale of a man who just doesn’t get it.

After placing adverts in local papers stressing his wealth with words like “tender and rich lawyer looks for a pretty lady to marry” and then “disgustingly rich lawyer looks for a pretty lady to marry”, he was still unable to find a wife.

He said: “I’ve got to the point where I have even been asking women I am meeting in the streets to marry me, but they always say no.”

Kacic, from Zagreb, said he had now accepted that he must be the ugliest man in the world.

It has, apparently, never occurred to him that his problem may be with his tactics. Certainly there are many gold digging women who care not a whit for personality or looks given her beau has enough money, but presumably they are all off shagging rich septuagenarian widowers, or living somewhere other than Croatia. For everyone else, his tactics would almost certainly ensure they keep their interactions with him to a minimum, if they even take his solicitations seriously.

I have to hand him this- effectively buying a press release to declare your wealth and eligibility, while not entirely novel, will almost certainly be an effective way to attract the former sort of “lady”.

Personally, I don’t think he’s too terribly ugly. He’s certainly not “ugliest man in the world” ugly. But what he lacks in hideousness he certainly makes up for in persistence, unperceptiveness, and social awkwardness.

I don’t know HOW you managed to capture your hamster’s ‘tocks so perfectly. I mean look at this specimen!

Should I tell them that those are not, in fact, “‘tocks”, but are rather testicles? It seems that other people saying as much in the comments are for the most part being ignored, so there’s really no point, I guess.

Besides, when I told them that one of their previous darlings likely had terrible birth defects they accused me of “Nuffing”. Do a browser find in the comments for ‘hydrocephaly’ and/or ’nuff’, if for some reason you are interested.

On the bright side, I guess any accidental hamster births (“But the pet store said they were both female!”) couldn’t happen to nicer people.

Via Neatorama, I normally hate monkeys and apes (too much like
