It's the eve of 420 and you don't have to be high to enjoy the following links, but it couldn't hurt.

When this clock goes into production, it will be featured in my den.

If Homer's car were real
Hillbilly Christmas gift
Which is the bigger idiot - the guy dressed like this or the guy who is willing to drink?

7-Eleven's Legacy

Aside from selling lottery tickets, 7-Eleven stores are recognizable by two products; Slurpees and Big Gulps. All, I mean all, of their food products should have E. Coli warnings on them and an ingredients list that says "some kind of meat, we think". Go »
