We Scour the Web, so You Don't Have To!
A while back we published this picture of a sign at Colton High School.
Hanan Levin, over at growabrain.com lives near the high school in question and recently went there and took his own photo of the sign:
Looks like somebody’s been playing with Photoshop again. Or they fixed the sign. I’m betting Photoshop.
Thanks Hanan
One Sentence – “True stories told in one sentence.” Reminds me of Post Secret in a way.
Here are a few examples:
Danny: Not a week after I got my first girlfriend, my sister got her’s.
I shake my head & smile: You know your adult son is home visiting when you find an empty beer can in your shower.
Customer service: When the cashier at the grocery store called me “sir” without really looking at me, I was tempted to pull up my shirt and show her my boobs.
NoOneInParticular: The day after the accident, the newspaper described her as having “minor cuts and bruises,” while I would have described her as “missing most of a leg.”
Sorcha: When the strange man wouldn’t quit staring at me while I nursed my baby, I finally lost it and asked him if he wanted some for his coffee.
wildpen: My cat challenged me to a game of “Guess Where I Pooped Before You Step In It” and I lost.
I haven’t seen this in a long time. Watch her fall on those balls. You might have to help her every now and then.
Thanks Gary
A year ago a young, unnamed and heavily-eyelinered young woman who hung around on Gaia Online made a video. She went by the handle of Boxxy. That’s it. Or at least it was for nearly 12 months.
At Christmas, the video – by then languishing in YouTube’s vaults – got posted to i-am-bored, and from there hit 4Chan, and in particular the site’s /b/ messageboard… the heartland for many memes (and definitely NSFW). Why? Nobody’s sure. Was Boxxy herself behind it? Or was she simply a vehicle for fans who liked her camgirl approach, apparent ADD and weirdly excitable behaviour?
Over the subsequent days and weeks, Boxxy became a topic of contention on 4Chan – with the site splitting into two groups; those who professed to love Boxxy and all she stood for and those who hated Boxxy and her fans. Every thread threaten to spill over into Boxxy spam or a flamewar, and hundreds of 4channers went hacking Boxxy’s YouTube account and other websites in search of her true identity. So far they don’t seem to have succeeded.
