It's an epidemic. Not enough people are being born, no dynasties to make.

I loathe the most famous book set in my state. Loathe it with the passion of a thousand burning suns. Stupid Twilight.

Have you seen japanese porn? It's either crying women, or tentacles -and- crying women. Who's going to want sex after that?

And here I thought Iowa's was "The Bridges of Madison County"...

Your life can not fall apart if you never stop putting it together.

I am ashamed. I just spent 5 minutes gobbling up a super daytime-talk-show trashy conversation on facebook. I don't even know that person that well anymore... but it was too delicious. I couldn't look away. Bad Leslie.

Fine. We'll go with the backup.

 

[Gared]

Can I option for an extremely unpopular book (both because it's fairly unknown and for political reasons) instead?

 

[Tress]

Grapes of Wrath should be listed for California instead of East of Eden.

 

[AshburnerX]

I'm not sure how Winesburg, Ohio isn't there instead ether, considering how influential it was on the works of Hemingway, Steinbeck, Faulkner, Bradbury, and Welty. Or fuck... why not The Devil all the Time? The Bluest Eye? Homer Price? Lots of great books set in Ohio.

At least we have Leave it to Beaver for TV.

I misread that as the best books in each state instead of set in. Made me think the south has much better taste in books than blue America.

I misread it as the most popular book in every state, and I was wondering why the Bible wasn't on there

I forgive you. But just this once.

 

[PatrThom]

Hm. What other books could be chosen for MI besides that one?
(looks around)
...Middlesex?
Hm. Same author. I'm detecting a pattern.

Russia has discontinued allowing Swedish couples to adopt Russian kids in order to avoid the possibility that those children might end up adopted by Teh Gays.

And now they've cut off Canada, as well as any other country which allows same-sex marriages.

Need a halloween costume for your toddler? How about "Stick Figure?"

Better to rot in poverty than have gay parents, that's for sure!

Oh yeah, those are cool things that exist! Never thought of getting one, but sounds good.

Hah, the old tripod website for the guild I was in back in EQ 14 years ago is still up.

Happened to find a website that not only ranks domains by visits & countries (like Alexa), but by percentage of visitors per country.

It's URL is - wait for it - urlm.co.

Halforums is currently ranked 164,350 in the US.

By comparison, purple.com is ranked 89,646. And GOP.org is ranked 11,128,132.

If you have to guess who is ranked #1, why don't you go Google it?

Huh, Google is 4th in Taiwan. Yahoo is 1st.

I am ashamed of my country.

RiffTrax is awesome. I highly recommend it for anyone who enjoys that sort of thing. Wonderful experience.

Belgium's number 8 (in absolute numbers) for visits to xkcd.com? I'm proud of my country

I wouldn't know. I wake up and routinely have 9-12 notifications I have to sort through.

Yeah but they're all Bubble! I woke up JUST this week with 25 notifications and 3/4ths of them were Bubble181.

Anyway, I noticed because it's been a slow week at work, and I've been hitting refresh on the list of posts with no new results much more often.

You post a lot, so you get a lot of responses. I can't be bothered to post "I agree" or "god that's funny!". I've transitioned into semi-lurker with bouts of activity, but I still like handing out candy to strange kids alerts.

I assure you there are other posters out there who preactically can't post without me giving them something; you I'd say I do something about one post in three or so max

 

[Krisken]

Bubble is my 'like' magnet. It helps he's one of the most amiable posters on the board.

 

[LittleKagsin]

Geez, I wish I had so many notifications!! I think I mentioned a long time ago that notifications are my life blood, so I enjoy getting them.

As for my random:
I've had my eye on Black Milk's Hufflepuff leggings since they came out with the collection months ago. And...my best friend bought them for me!! I cried, I was so happy.

I seriously can't even handle it, I love them so much! They will be on my legs as often as possible.
