Things that make you spew fluids out your nose...

"Sushi pants" and other stories... Possibly not the "best of the web", but not political and damn funny. Of late I have been enjoying a number of "story" sites recounting the kind of tall tales of questionable accuracy you usually only hear from genuinely funny friends. Many, many chuckles to be had out there. Some of the stories seem superficially mean but are actually interesting looks into difficult situations you might otherwise never glimpse. "A few days later he put a tarantula in my bedsheets while I was sleeping. Thankfully I wasn't bitten, but I was freaked out and still sometimes jump out of bed in the middle of the night for no reason and attack my sheets." - from thingie.net

The sushi pants story is really entertaining. Schadenfreude!

For anyone who is outgoing, drinks heavily, and is moderately attractive, most of the Tucker Max stories aren't extraordinary by any means.

I hear that. I hadn't thought about him in absolute ages until, out of nowhere, his mailshots started showing up in my inbox again after at least 3 years of silence.

So I saunter on back to the site to catch up, and I have a few laughs, but at the end of the day I just think to myself, Dude, you are one fucked up individual. Like, the point of the stories is to convince you what a crazy guy he is, and to make you want to have a beer with him just to get in on the craziness. But mostly I am just dumbstruck at what an asshole he is. Then I stop relating to the stories, and then I lose interest. Rinse, repeat.

This site contains the best situational humor I've found on the web to date. (And yes, I know this site was previously posted, which is why it doesn't rate fpp status.)

You need to stay in more often.

From TuckerMax's Personal Info page:

Favorite Non-Fiction Book: I love to read. I could go with The Autobiography of Malcolm X, which I read in seventh grade, and totally changed my life.

Dude didn't make it far enough to learn that Malcolm eventually realizes he's wasting his time as a zoot-suited hustler and aspiring pimp, I'd wager.

WebToy, will you marry me? That was awesome.

ob comment on story: I haven't seen this one before. How the hell does he REMEMBER what happened after 11pm or so?

Playground Law is funny.

Slow Children at Play, on the other hand, I find incredibly, incredibly frightening and sad.

Doesn't mean I'm not reading the entire thing, but just keep that in mind.

Note that tard-blog.com is not the same url as the original tardblog.com, which has now disappeared.

I think the new hyphenated version is a fake. Too many little inconsistencies, far more scatological than the old one, and too much like old jokes...

I am trying to do the same thing with my own blog, with varying degrees of success. Judge for yourselves, and let the flaming commence...
