1. BLUE WHALE

Known affectionately as The Assless Champion, the Blue Whale actually earnestly believes that it has an ass and struggles daily with what animals with asses struggle with, in terms of asses, according to an anomalously large contingency of Yale students who directed their dissatisfaction with The Obama Administration (itself a misdirection of something else) into convincing mainstream America that they could read Blue Whale brainscans as easily as the normal American can read McDonald’s menus. The incredible success of the Yale students ultimately caused the Blue Whale to be unconditionally revered by most American households, as it became reflexive and desirable (via vicariousness) to interpret every Blue Whale “questionable action” (or victimization) as an endearingly tragic result of (or overwhelmingly unfair addition to) their complex body-image misconceptions related to wanting to be beautiful in an impossible manner.TC mark

    The Blue Whale with the upset of the year. Didn't see it coming at all. I lost 30 dollars thanks.

    read this and started thinking about what defines an “ass.” seems like a hamster would have an “ass.”

    I feel like Ke$ha not being on the list was a major oversight. Tried to comfort myself by saying, “Ke$ha is a mammal, not an animal”, but then I performed a fact checking wiki search and found that her debut album was called “Animal” in an 'obvious attempt' to score high on animal related lists/securing gigs on Animal Planet.

    never realized how ugly most animals are.

    The strangeness of this has an intoxicating affect. Feel slightly stoned after reading this. Enoyable, no paranoia.

    it was a good double-take.
    my brain didn't register/believe my senses due to randomness/unexpected content, so they enacted a quick half-second battle in which my brain commanded my senses to look at the content again refusing to 'make sense' of it until my eyes (senses) ultimately proved that the unexpected was, indeed, there. i think God created this biological response to keep us from [God stopped thinking about it at this point].

  • FLOX

    there are these sink ass bitches that live in the apartment next door to me and every morning i see them through the window doing shit at the sink at the same time i'm doing my shit at my sink. one time i even saw one of them taking her bra off (not simultaneously with me removing my own bra, though).

    will pay you in good vibes to write about/profile these sink ass bitches.

    Great article.

    Anyone else wondering what the hell happened to Ellen Kennedy? Did she go into hiding after Richard Yates was published because she felt so awkward about the way she was depicted in it? Any info on this anyone?

  • Makenna

    Pretty sure that's an alligator pic… they're blackish in color, they have a shorter, rounded snout, and it appears you can't see the bottom teeth.

  • Do You Believe In Bigfoot?

    If Bigfoot is real, then what else is out there in the world — beyond the accepted walls of your city’s Museum of Science? What else are we wrong about? It would cause a re-examination of just about everything. It’d be fantastic.

    The day we shunned the sunlight and stayed in bed drinking beer and watching movies is still one of my favorite days, even if the memory is ancient and the people who experienced it no longer exist.

  • Three Cheers For "Boring" Love

    In fact, sometimes we are so eager for that thrill of danger, of uncertainty, of desire, that we’ll search for and create problems where there are none. It’s as though our brains can’t comprehend that something can simply work, and that happiness is not just a wisp of smoke we’re meant to perpetually chase and never attain.
