The most valuable supply of worthlessness on the web
I haven’t had a post about strange signs in a while. Here’s a new set of them that I discovered recently.
There are more. Many are stranger than this. Some are unidentified. All can be found at DarkRoastedBlend.

Check out midwest teens and their sex podcasts.
Each episode is sort of a parody of a given sex-ed topic (birth control methods, the ethics of dating much-older men, and so on) — but presented in a deadpan, internet-funny fashion. May or may not be work-safe (explicit subject matter) but it’s not pornography by any means. Just sharp sarcasm that rings true, with good advice.
It’s tame stuff, and not the pr0n you perverts were looking for. (via boingboing)
Since I’ve recently spoken out against buying Bioshock given its secret, auto-install, trojan-like software and lifetime 2 system install limit, I felt it was appropriate to show this signature image from the 2K forums in the thread discussing the issue.
Really not as meaningful to non-purchasers of the game (and good for you, by the way), but that’s a chop of the introduction to the game in the manual. It made me laugh.

More news that makes us happy to have our “Stupid” category now on the Blahg. In Georgia, a woman called the cops for help getting money back because her crack cocaine wasn’t good enough to suit her tastes.
Juanita Marie Jones, 53, called Rochelle Police late Thursday night after she purchased what she thought was a $20 piece of crack cocaine, according to police reports.
She told officers she broke the rock into three pieces and smoked one, only to discover the drugs were “fake.”
I guess one should be wary of $20 crack rocks, now. (via boingboing)

I’m all about the helpful tips here at the blahg. Consider this a freebie Blahg-tip to help you keep your current obsession without resorting to stalking.
Of course, I’m not sure that represents a better decision process than stalking. But hey, it’s an idea.

YES, THE SITE IS SCREWED UP RIGHT NOW. Sorry for the shouting. I’m working on it, but it will probably be a day or more before I’m able to fix it. I’m not sure if I can even post updates right now, giving the problems I’m having with the site software right now.
I wonder if I can convince my wife that God believes she should blow me more often?
See, proof that God and the church want you on your knees more often.

This really looks like what I imagine TSA screeners go through for training.
It’s old, I know, but still funny. Especially the question about 2 people each with 3 ounces of liquids.

Sometimes, you see ads turn up in the wrong place or two otherwise unrelated ads located in a way that makes you grin.
There are a lot of them. Check out the full article linked above for many more.

Here’s a look at what a letter from insurer Geico might look like in regards to claims submitted by Optimus Prime.
We have received your accident-claim reports for the month of June-they total 27. I regret to inform you that GEICO will not be able to reimburse you for any of those repairs.
. . .
Since becoming a GEICO customer in January of this year, you have reported 131 accidents, requesting reimbursement for repairs necessitated by each one. You have claimed not to be responsible in any of them, usually listing the cause of the accident as either “Sneak attack by Decepticons” or “Unavoidable damage caused by protecting freedom for all sentient beings.”
The list of some of the rejected claims is sufficient justification for reading the full post. The letter ends well, at least:
…but due to the high number of accidents you have been a party to this month, combined with the many accidents you have had in the preceding five months, your premium has increased to $235,567.50 per month. While that may seem like a lot, I remind you that it is a savings of $137 over Progressive and $98 over State Farm.
Pure gold. (via Consumerist)

Received an email today from one of the online sites I occasionally order from. I think someone made an oops in handling the mail merge:
Probably should check who ran that mailmerge.
