It’s All in the Preparation
You would think that if something tastes terrible, it would just be left alone. If it kills you, why would you ever mess with it again?
10 Tested Ways To Get Rid Of Your Irritating Girlfriend
1:) Make her wait for ages… when the dates are planned by her and, even worse when they are planned by you.
2:) Do not ever use a deodorant when you’re around her. Make it a point to munch on onions before you meet her.
3:) Attend as many calls as you can when she’s spending time with you… it helps if the one calling is you’re ex-girlfriend and it’s even better if it’s your ’supposedly’ intimate boyfriend.
4:) Be as GAY as you can!
5:) Make sure you invite her best friend every time you go out with her, and hit on her friend (doesn’t matter if it’s a guy or a girl) as shamelessly as you can. The drool-pot is a sure winner!
6:) Dress as horrendously as you possible can. Colour combinations are a strict NO-NO, unless you’re planning on doing a fluorescent orange and bright pink combo. Classic!
7:) Gorge yourself on food, hers, yours, her friend’s and make sure food spills out of your mouth every minute or so, during your lunch or dinner dates.
8:) BURP! As often and as loudly as you can. Gaseous emanations of other kinds are also sure ways to your ultimate triumph!
9:) Make sure she realises you’re not busy, but pretend to be as busy as you can possibly be when she’s around… she’ll get the hint… or even better, pair it up with being a schedule freak.
10:) Pretend you have a serious crotch infection, or a fetish or an obsession for everything down under!

For one, don't expect Comedy Central's awkward casting of B-list celebrity hosts. The new season starting around November will focus as much on the pit crew drama as the fights themselves (that will take place in new, far meaner arenas). And remember those lame snowplow wedge bots? Those fuckers (that essentially ruined the show) are out and a new "anything goes" class is in. Now if we could get a ban on those stupid spinning guys too, we'd really be able to get our opiate fix of robots wielding flamethrowers and chainsaws.

Awesome Gmail tip You Don’t Know about.
Let’s say that your email address is ‘GeorgeBush@gmail.com’, basically everything sent to any of the following email addresses will be forwarded to your primary email.
… |
… |
And that’s not all, you can place as many dots as you want, it can be even something like ‘G.e.o.r.g.e.B.u.s.h@gmail.com’ and you’ll still get it on ‘GeorgeBush@gmail.com’
Additionally, I just also found out that you can embed random text to your email ID using ‘+’ sign. That is to say ‘GeorgeBush+anythingyouwant@gmail.com’ can be used as your email address, as well.
Ok I got it. Now what ?
1. One email for every purpose
Instead of using different email addresses for various purposes (work, school, friends, etc.) you can use different variations of your Gmail and filter incoming mails by ’sent to’ address. For instance, all incoming mail sent to ‘Name.Surname@gmail.com’ can be put to folder ‘work’, messages sent to ‘NameSurname@gmail.com’ can be put to ‘friends’, ‘N.ameSurname@gmail.com’ can be used for newsletters, and so on.
2. Track/Block spammers
When signing up for some website, say thatwebsite.com, you can add thatwebsite to your Gmail user ID (eg. GeorgeBush+thatwebsite@gmail.com). This way you can block your subscription whenever you want and even identify those websites that distribute your email address to spammers.

D-LEAGUER DOES DWIGHT HOWARD'S DUNKS
Brent Petway of the Idaho Stampede, whom you may know better as the NBA Development League Dunk Contest Champion (or... not at all), has not only challenged Dwight Howard to a dunk contest, he showed that a mere mortal in a backwater state playing for a minor league team can perform the miraculous feats of athleticism we saw at the NBA's dunk contest. Of course, when Howard did his dunks, thousands of people burst into thunderous applause, and a panel of NBA greats held aloft signs that read "10" while today's brightest basketball stars fell over themselves in disbelief.
This is pretty much the same thing, except it's five people in an otherwise empty arena clapping politely.
