Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go on an overnight drunk, and in 10 days I’m going to set out to find the shark that ate my friend and destroy it. Anyone who wants to join me is more than welcome.

8 Baller Cats Who Are Richer Than You

Maybe if you had worked a little harder, you’d be as wealthy as these kitties.

But you didn’t. You spent all your free time playing Medal of Duty and eating Cheez Doodles. Not the crispy kind, mind you. The puffy kind.

You disgust me. Get out of my sight.

Last night I was on an incredibly boring redeye flight back to LA, but thanks to wifi inflight I was able to get on Twitter and detail our exploits once the whole flight decided to go H.A.M.

Thanks to the RocNation Tumblr (or whoever they reblogged from) for compiling what turned out to be quite…

Manly Marketing Campaign of the Day: In an effort to man up their color line, Canadian chemicals manufacturer CIL has introduced Ultimate Man Caves — the country’s first paint collection marketed exclusively to men.

In lieu of frilly names like “Fairytale Green,” “Silver Lace Vine,” and “Venetian Turquoise,” CIL’s “manly colors” sport testeroned titles like “Beer Time,” “5 O’Clock Shadow,” and “Zombie Apocalypse.”

“Every competitor is about the design and the warm fuzzy feelings you get from the colours,” said CIL Paints spokeswoman Alison Goldman, adding that they wanted to inject some “funny” into an otherwise “less than fascinating product.”

She acknowledges that there have been a few complaints. “Men are more than beer,” said one less-than-satisfied customer. “[S]ome of us like ballerina slippers.”

If you’ve got the photography skills, get off Tumblr and do something.

thedailywhat:

This Is All Kinds Of Wrong of the Day: That something as simple as a good photograph can increase the likelihood of an abandoned dog being adopted is well documented.

Emily Tanen had witnessed the effects of a professional photoshoot on an unwanted dog’s chances first hand during her time at the Manhattan branch of Animal Care and Control of New York City, when she took it upon herself to upgrade the shelter operator’s disposable camera to her own $1,500 Nikon, only to see the number of rescued dogs increase.

Hired as a liaison between ACCNYC and the groups that rescue shelter animals, Tanen says she was eventually fired for going out of her way to take better photos of pit bulls in a last-ditch effort to save them from being euthanized.

Tanen was told that she had violated the policy that prohibits photographing the dogs interacting with humans.

“I think they just didn’t want photos of animals that they were about to kill looking cute and adoptable and happy with people,” she says, “but they said it was because their research showed that photos with people didn’t encourage people to adopt.”

Sadly, for many of the dogs in ACCNYC’s care, Tanen was the last line of defense. Rescue groups would often be persuaded by her photos to take animals they would otherwise have passed on.

“I still remember Domino’s photo — the first pit bull we pulled from Manhattan,” Dog Habitat Rescue founder Jay Lombard said. “He was within 12 hours of being destroyed when Emily snapped a photo of him and attached it to an e-mail. That image hit me hard and I couldn’t turn away.”

Above: Compare Tanen’s handiwork with the ACCNYC’s sorry excuse for a snapshot.

@copymatt: HOW THE INTERNET GOT MY BIKE BACK:

For those of us who have followed the heartbreaking saga of the stolen bike (via the funniest Craigslist post ever) for over a year, today is the day we have been waiting for.

copymattt:

About a year and a half ago, some dickstache stole my bike, and in an effort to get it back I posted this to Craigslist:

Some of my industry friends picked it up, Craig Newmark gave it some love, @peeweeherman got into it, @copyrider made this…

Wow—I cannot wait to build this in my backyard some day.
