This week we got some solid contenders with no twist endings. Cute animals, hilarious re-animations and to start it all off, there's a video from Japan. No description is available, necessary or even possible for this clip, but, trust me, you'll love it.

Forget relationship status updates or enviable vacation photos. If you really want to create a buzz on Facebook, deactivate your account. That's what happened to me this summer when I pulled the plug.

It's about time someone occupied the occupiers and inserted some good conservative values into these protests!

It's My Money. We're not talking about credit cards where I pay you to lend me some quick cash. These are automatic deductions from an account into which I have already placed ample coin of the realm. MY MONEY!

To start, can the media please stop with the"are women funny?" and "chick comedy rules the new fall TV season" articles and shit. Just stop. The short response to this nonsense is yes, some women are funny.

"Just because you're great in sports and really handsome and get all the pretty girls doesn't mean you can pick on the less-fortunate geeks. Besides, one day one of those geeks might grow up and become successful enough to afford the very best lawyers and want payback."

Look, I'll be honest. This writing thing is hard, competitive work with a zero sum gain. For me to win in this business, you must lose, and I'll be damned if I just handfeed you piranhas a pound of my sweet, buttery flesh.
