If you’ve got Photoshop and a spare half hour, you can erase your ex-boyfriend from the family photo. Presto, George was never at Lake Winnemuck. Now, live video can be edited the same way, but here’s the creepy part. It can be edited in real time.

Just realized something. I really don’t like people coming into my cube unless a) They’re my very good friend or b) I’m in the ongoing process of hitting on them. However, people who aren’t in either of those categories always wander in to stand in back of me while I type. They ask, “Whatcha upto? Hey, Maggie, whatcha upto?” Of course, they already know what I’m up to because… they’re reading my screen. They also like to move stuff around and say, “Hey look! Your Pez dispensers are having sex!” Then I have to put on my that’s-really-funny! face so they’ll leave.

Yo mama jokes from McSweeney’s:

Yo mama so poor…

she can’t afford a Christmas tree so she goes and finds a sad little twig in the yard and cuts out construction paper ornaments so that she can bring just a glimmer of light to her children’s Christmas celebration.
