Shocked Question I Just Asked Myself Out Loud, Which I Imagine Hundreds Of People Ask Themselves Everyday...
“Wait. Why the fuck do I have ‘Love In An Elevator’ by Aerosmith on my iPod?”
“Oh no!”
—me, a few minutes ago as the insurance bill i was about to drop in the mailbox and which was sitting in my front seat flew balletically out the window on the connector from the 210 to the 2

Captioning Found Photos
I’ve been a fan of Found Photos for a long time now. To encourage myself to post more and because I’m lazy, I’m going to try captioning some of the photos. We’ll see how long this lasts…
No wonder it took so long to get released
The attention to detail in GTA IV boarders on insane. For example, there’s a self-contained version of the Internet in the game, full of parody websites such as Craplist.net:
Craplist was started in San Fierro in 1995 by some basement dwelling sociopaths with the simple mission of creating a computer-based online forum where users can sell stolen bicycles and meet up at lunch time to give a stranger head. … Capitalists don’t understand us. Newspapers hate us. Stalkers love us. Craplist is here to stay. We are you.
Here’s a (probably incomplete) list of sites in the game. So far there aren’t any real world versions of these, but with all the money Rockstar is making i’m sure they could fix that if they wanted.
With so much detail in the game, does anyone actually still do the missions? Even in the last version, I could be heading to do an errand to impress my bosses and end up spending four game days quelling gang fights, sniping old ladies, robbing fast food joints, and seeing from how high I could jump out of a helicopter and still live.

My street just got added to street view, but nothing awesome is happening. Except I can tell from my car that I’m home, so I might have been doing something awesome inside. Anyway, since my house is boring, here’s this.

The Film Pigs Are Now Blogging! →

Because once-a-month drunken vlogs of us sitting in a car complaining about having just paid $12.75 for Ghost Rider just isn’t enough. Come visit often. Blogs are good for you! Hanging out with friends is for communists and whores. Who needs fresh air? The sun is your enemy. The outside is full of bad elements waiting to corrupt you and steal your possessions. Rogues and magicians and charlatans Scallywags, carpetbaggers, and flappers! It’s just not safe. Anyway, staring at a computer all day makes you sexy and gives your skin that delightful pasty glow. Plus, you never know who’s going to pop up on iChat. You may miss some great opportunities to ROFL. Can you afford to pass up an opportunity to ROFL? Didn’t you hear about that one guy with terminal cancer who healed himself just by watching his favorite old Marx Brothers comedies over and over? It’s true! I read about it on a blog. Or there could be a new funny McCain Girls video. You can’t afford not to know if Jerry O’Connell has impersonated another famous actor, can you? And have you Googled your ex today? No?! Well, you have uploaded all of your new Photo Booth self-portraits onto Flickr, right? WHAT?! Not even the awesome 4-square Warhol one with your face turned a little to the side and your eyes staring up at us? No? What’s wrong with you? How is everyone going to see how cute your new haircut is! That’s right. Put down the car keys and come join us. Yes, grab a Coke from the fridge first. That’s right. Good choice. See, isn’t that better?
(But don’t write to tell us we owe you a new keyboard, because what were you doing putting a soda near electronics anyway? That’s just not smart behavior.)
