This is how I first encountered this speech pattern meme-thing in the wilds of soup. It made no sense and every time I saw it, I giggled like a small, feeble-minded child. The absurdity! The expressions! And oh how the mind delighted over the many awkward possibilities of the missing verb. This pattern, “I accidentally [...]
Until I started looking at the Analog 6.0 stat reports for the site, I had no idea what a shemagh was. Now I know it’s a it’s a style of head wrap which originated in the Middle East. If you really want to know how, ActionGear.com has a pretty handy tutorial (with pictures!).
However, you’re probably [...]
Owen Wilson was brought to the hospital today via ambulance. It is unknown at this time why exactly, but he has already released a statement regarding this incident, stating:
“I respectfully ask that the media allow me to receive care and heal in private during this difficult time,” the 38-year-old actor said in a statement released [...]
In a 4 page article on The Register’s buzzard-bedecked website, writer Andrew Orlowski sits down and drills Opera’s CEO and founder Jon von Tetzchner.
