Bill Bumgarner on Tequila

Bill Bumgarner explains tequila in more detail than you probably ever thought necessary:
First, Cuervo Gold is not good tequila. It is actually a really terrible product, quality wise, backed by some brilliant market. Sadly, most of the tequila consumed in the United States is Cuervo Gold or something equally as bad. And by “bad”, I [...]

I don’t even care anymore. We’re going all bulldog all the time.

One more video and we’re going to have to change the tagline of the site.

Even if several months have already passed, the MacBook Air still kicks ass in terms of notebook innovations. Thinnovation was the advertorial cry embraced by Apple, presents the tinniest of all laptops you can find in the market, just as thick as your index finger. Some newer laptops are even thinner, but none have the [...]

Back in school, reading was considered an activity for geeks and outcasts. But that changed for me after an accidental discovery of a copy of Jack Kerouac’s On the Road on my cousin’s bookshelf full of computer books.

If you’d like to watch a sad sack rant into a camera perched on the dash of his parked car about the end of womenkind’s preternatural ability to spot his self-loathing and axemurderiness from a mile away — and if you’re looking to stay positive about humanity, you’re not — then Steve Hoca’s powerful VoiceThoughts™ [...]

Cracked, one of the only site that can actually pull off a decent “Top X” list, traumatizes your inner, speckled teen with five horrible rites of manhood from other countries. But do any of them trump…middle school gym class? [Cracked]

L.E. Leone on killing the chickens she raised herself:
I can vouch for “essential.” I can vouch for “omnivore.” My brain and my body crave meat with my salad. In fact, I think I might die without it. For sure I’d go crazy. But, personally, I don’t know about “evil.” I’ll own it: There’s a part [...]

Whenever I get a package of plain M&Ms, I make it my duty to continue the strength and robustness of the candy as a species. To this end, I hold M&M duels. Taking two candies between my thumb and forefinger, I apply pressure, squeezing them together until one of them breaks and splinters. That is the “loser,” and I eat the inferior one immediately. The winner gets to go another round.
