They're all funny, but I especially like
this one.
Oh God, I adore the Despair.com website. Right now, I have
Get to Work and
Mediocrity displayed in my cubicle. They're pretty perfect for how I feel about my job right now. Earlier this year I had up
Sacrifice and
Motivation.
Despair.com truly is fantastic. My mother and I just spent an obscene amount of money on stuff for our bosses. (Whom.. we're actually very good frinds with. LOL.)
Dr. Toast - toast news, links, ask Dr Toast (such as
why raisins fall to the bottom of the toaster). I especially like the haikus. Here's an example:

Ew. That's a little too Silence of the Lambs for me. Or should it be Silence of the Crumbs?
I wish to inform my fellow snarkers that the cats page made me howl with laughter, thereby frightening my actual cat, - hee! Invisible bicycle! heeeeee -- that some of Dr. Toasts haikus moved me with their beauty, and that I am 100% Canadian, which is, indeed, the case.
For the sadly uninitiated:
A toonie is a two-dollar coin.
A tuque is a head-hugging woolen winter hat; ok, fine, it's a skullcap.
Tim Horton's, also known as Timmy's, is a coffee and donut chain, which sometimes sells Timbits, which look like sugared balls of poo yet taste like sugared balls of sugar.
The Bay is the Hudson's Bay Company, a huge and boring department store which started out as some smelly guys trading beaver pelts.
Homo milk is homogenized milk, which I don't know what that means because I don't drink milk.
Smarties are round disks of chocolatized plastic coated in different, colourful plastic, roughly the size of a penny.
Boxing Day Sales occur on December 27, when all the stores pretend to have drastically lowered the prices. Citizens have been known to line up at electronics stores at 6 in the morning, ready to murder each other with snow scrapers over poorly made DVD players.
Canadian Tire sells hardware, camping gear and has its own money. If you spend 1,000,000, you may accumulate enough customer-reward points to buy a lighter.
Buckley's is a foul cough syrop concoction whose effects are similar to that of a pan-galactic gargle blaster, only with more immediate and all-encompassing gut-wrenching despair, followed by feelings of relief at not being dead after all.

This kind of game is so ridiculously addictive! I am sure to waste tons of time playing it.

More importantly, when people ask for a double-double, that means a coffee with 2 creams and 2 sugars. Hee.

And highly superior to M&Ms! Okay, fine, they are very similar. ;)

Homo milk is so ridiculously rich because it has 3.25% of fat in it. Yuck.

Actually, Boxing Day is on December 26. They don't have that in the US? I wasn't aware of that. It is basically our equivalent of post-Thanksgiving sales, like Black Friday, where all Canadians go insane for all matters of useless gadgets.

...also known as Timmy Ho's. I had to drive a friend to the ferry the other day and we stopped at Tim's before we went. Got a large coffee and a donut for $2.25. Can't beat that my friends!
The brain-hurting fanfic pairing generatorI got Anya (BtVS)/Jean-Luc Picard (Star Trek). Now I kind of want to rewrite the Buffy musical to include Picard.
Mama Morton (Chicago)/Percy Weasley (Harry Potter)...heee! That's my all time favorite!

I think my brain just popped.
I got:
Ming the Merciless/Emily Sloan (Alias)
Quinn Morgendorfer (Daria)/Pat Mustard (Father Ted
Rasputin/Rickie Vasquez (My So-Called Life)
I cannot stop laughing. I think that's my new favourite site.
ETA: I did it again and just got
Lincoln Six-Echo (The Island)/Obi-Wan Kenobi (Star Wars)
I think that makes things a little complicated.

No, we don't. We have to go back to work on December 26, like Bob Cratchit did. Most uncivilized.
