Offbeat: To end our posts this morning, keyboard cat will play us off

Despite the injuries, we’re just happy they didn’t steal the laptop, so we can still update the site. Play us off, keyboard cat, play us off. (Oh, and to the the jerks that did this, we hope you enjoy the useless canceled debit cards you got.)source

Culture: Friend of the site: Check out Most Horrible Thing Ever

  • Killer concept. Scary videos. One of our favorite humorists, David Putney, has been hard at work on creating Most Horrible Thing Ever, a site cataloging some of the scary things he’s found on the Internet and on YouTube. On top of such videos as the Gymkata trailer and Carl Lewis singing about world peace, there’s lots of distinctly Putneyian humor – a unique natural resource that must be experienced. Plus, it’s got some of the same short-form style you dig reading here. Check it out! source

  • “It doesn’t fit in a rolodex because it doesn’t belong in a rolodex.” This may perhaps be our all-time favorite video on YouTube, because we like rewarding idiots for their idiocy.source
