Yoink.
When you're good at something, you sell it to as many people as will buy it.
You forgot to mention that this sign is right across the street from a BoA.

I am so annoyed right now.
I've never been one for those "packages are only delivered when you're not available" jokes because most people aren't available a lot.
Not me. I have nothing to do and nowhere to go. I've been waiting for this package since Sunday. I knew it would be here on Wednesday, today. I do some of my regular routines, but then just kind of plop on my bed because I can't think of anything productive to do, and if I go somewhere I might miss my package. I sit there for 15 minutes, wondering if it'll be delivered while I'm just lying there. That'd be convenient.
Nah.
I decide to go poop, again musing it would be ironic if they delivered while I was indisposed.
CAN YOU GUESS THE END OF THIS STORY
In the literal 5 minutes of this entire day that I would not be able to answer the door, that's when the doorbell rings. I even manage to do a lightning clean up, and see them before they leave. I even yell after them and wave. If I were quick enough I could have even grabbed onto the bumper. But alas, they drove away.
I call the place like immediately being like "Hey, they literally just left. Is there any chance they could come back, like, soon? They'd seriously just have to do a u-turn." But no, of course not, I didn't expect them to be able to.
So I have to wait 'til 7 to go pick it up. Sigh.

True that. Though my ex did stop by unannounced the other day to pick something up. I WAS AVAILABLE FOR THAT DOORBELL. :|
In all seriousness I don't let all that much get to me, but I have nothing better to do right now.
Yeah, I'll be watching that many, many times with the sound off. The music is not my thing but the visuals are very nice indeed.
I'm (ugh) gonna have to agree with Charlie on this one. That is pretty crappy language to use to describe someone and I don't even think its accurate in Nicki's case.
*I also think shes a very talented rapper, though I don't like that song.

She was much better in Dirty Spaceman (my own hosted MP4 version because UMG keeps DMCAing the youtube uploads of it).
My best friend is getting on my nerves.

Must be something in the water.
I've actually had to unfollow her on FB so her posts won't show up in my news feed. I love her, but I've had enough of the angsty quotes pasted onto pretty backgrounds because her boyfriend (who was of course "the one", just like the last 3 or 4 guys) has decided they need to take a break. If it was one or two of them I wouldn't care. She's posting like 20 of them a day, one after another. She needs a hobby other than collecting boyfriends who are assholes.

I was scrolling through my Tumblr today when I came across a blog post from JL8comic. I expected it to be the usual bit of info about the strip's update schedule, or some artwork being done for charity or something. Nope. It was an apology for sending unsolicited dick pics to women. Wut? It was a very vague post, so I decided to look into it, to decide if Yale Stewart's behavior was awful enough to warrant unfollowing him. What I found was a whole lot of hearsay, and claims that Mr. Stewart's mother has received multiple phone calls threatening her.
I couldn't bring myself to read any more. I'm just going to keep reading the cute little comic strip about the Justice League as grade schoolers, and pretend I never saw any of this shitstorm.

I honestly don't understand the mentality behind sending unsolicited dick pics. I mean, do they expect the girl to open up their inbox, think "Oh wow, that's a very nice schlong, I think I'll have sex with this guy now"?I was scrolling through my Tumblr today when I came across a blog post from JL8comic.

I think one should strongly reconsider even sending solicited dick pics.
Embarrassingly enough, my husband sent me pictures of his wang when we first started talking about meeting up and possibly starting a relationship. I ended up telling him that if he sent me any more I was going to stop talking to him for good. He told me he thought women wanted to see what they were getting into -because if it was too small I wouldn't want to date him. I had to explain to him that most women find dick pics from a virtual stranger to be pretty creepy. He honestly had no idea. Freaking weirdo. lol
I can't believe that worked
Unsolicited dick pics are terrible. Also, to all you guys who send them out, those girls will collect them, and laugh at them, and share them with friends of both sexes, who will also laugh at them, and you, and your penis, and your likely very pathetic attempt at sexts, but especially you, and your penis.
Will it sound better from a source that isn't Charlie? Because I think it was uncalled for, too. I don't even know who Nicki Minaj is, but calling her that is going way too far just because you don't like her music.

Have you watched the video? It's porn with bad music. Well, even worst music than usual.

It was about as much Sir Mix-a-Lot as Cupid's Chokehold was Supertramp. Which is to say almost nothing.
None of these "artists" are original. All they can do is repurpose and sample things that other people did and add some new (and terrible) lyrics, then say it's "featuring" someone else, which is usually that other person saying one or two things or going "Yeah yeah!" in the background. It's lazy and derivative.
@Dave you have not spoken a more true statement. You have my brofist.

Dude, I can even take remakes like Run DMC doing "Walk This Way". Johnny Cash remaking "Hurt". Gary Jules remaking "Mad World". Remakes are fine. Remakes show a respect for the source material, even if the remake sucks. Check out Chris Cornell's remake of Billie Jean or Dolly Parton's remake of Stairway to Heaven. Both are terrible remakes, but they at least pay homage to the source. Remixes just suck.
Dave you sound more like an old man yelling on their front porch than usual. They definitely are all talented musicians, it's just different talents and different music than you like / prefer. Also, I don't mean to quibble but "remake" talking about songs stick out like a sore thumb, covers is the preferred nomenclature.

Hmm, a little digging shows that Dave is correct actually. It may be the preferred nomenclature, but it's technically incorrect. A "cover" is by definition an alternative version of a song released in close proximity to the original in order to deflect attention away from the original.

Never seen this! Thanks! Cornell picked up where Mercury left off.

WTF dude, I been here all along.
Anyway, Dave is technically correct (THE BEST KIND OF CORRECT - Head Bureaucrat, Futurama Bureaucracy), the original meaning of "cover" was to closely release your own version of someone else's song, stealing their thunder. You cover a song to ride its coattails, you remake a song (much much later) to pay homage.
But like so much else over the years, it's been used and overused and misused so much it's practically lost all meaning.

I can vouch that this is true. Save it for the live show, folks.
So if I like a girl, instead of sending her penipics, I should instead show up at her front door in a trenchcoat and nothing else?
Sounds like a plan!
Update: OH GOD WHY WOULD SHE MACE -THERE-?
