Delicious gum

@iJake: Sometimes awesome things happen pretty unexpectedly, and sometimes those unexpected awesome things are pretty fucking rad.
@jmuguy: @iJake You mean like when you cough up some gum you swallowed and its still delicious?
@iJake: @jmuguy Get out of my head Justin, you're making me uncomfortable.

Swearing is a really important part of one’s life. It would be impossible to imagine going through life without swearing, and without enjoying swearing. There used to be mad, silly, prissy people who used to say swearing was a sign of a poor vocabulary. It is such utter nonsense. The people I know who swear the most tend to have the widest vocabularies, and the kind of person who says swearing is a sign of a poor vocabulary usually have a poor vocabulary themselves. The sort of twee person who thinks swearing is in any way a sign of a lack of education or a lack of verbal interest is just a fucking lunatic. I haven’t met anybody who’s truly shocked at swearing… really. They’re only shocked on behalf of other people. Well, you know, that’s preposterous. Or they say, “It’s not necessary,” as if that should stop one doing it. It’s not necessary to have coloured socks, it’s not necessary for this cushion to be here, but is anyone going to write in and say, “I was shocked to see that cushion there, it really wasn’t necessary”? No. Things not being necessary is what makes life interesting. The little extras in life.

Lesbian couple’s first kiss at homecoming a first for Navy, too

This is adorable and I “awww”ed pretty hard when I saw it. It’s wonderful seeing couples in love reunite. There’s something about the way you can see all the pain and anxiety of separation get washed completely away in one moment of sheer joy.

Yes, deep within this cynical, pitch-black shell of a man beats the heart of a romantic. You may now make fun of me for being a softie.

Just recently, on “Extra,” [Kris] Jenner was quoted as saying “”You can’t judge anybody else,” in regards to the public backlash her daughter has received. Coincidentally, it was announced on the same day that Jenner would serve as a judge in the Miss America pageant, so you can judge other people, just so long as you get paid to do so and it’s televised.
