torgospizza  I’m starting to think Jeez Louise is not a real person.

kinaka Protected Tweets  Let’s play the “how many times can I drop my phone on my face when sandwiched in between two sleeping people” game. I’m at 3 so far

trumpetcake  “Hi, this is Dan. Would you like to talk about biscuits?” – cool new app I invented

FlyoverJoel  Pretty sure I just saw Miley twerking Santa Claus underneath the wrecking ball last night.

snazzmania  I bet if you tried to punt the fuck out of a jigglypuff your foot would just get stuck in it

polianarchy  I used to get so sad when I found out people didn’t like me. Now I just think they’re stupid. NOBODY LIKES ME? WHAT A BUNCH OF ASSHOLES

DrMaldoror  One of my relatives is attempting “cute reindeer cookies” for her child’s snack-time. She has achieved “upsetting brown Cyberman cookies”.

JulieFroolie  I need to look festive tomorrow can I wear your mom

markleggett  Donald Trump is so rich that he wipes his poops on hundred dollar bills, and so weird that he then puts those bills straight into his mouth.

ChristopOConnor  I’m not a ‘misanthrope.’ That sounds like a word annoying people use. And I hate annoying people. And all people, now that you mention it.

usedwigs  Almost done writing my will, just a couple final requests *googles Panera Bread Bowl Coffin*

SwashLabs  Suggestions @jberthume got in re: what prop to hold during staff photos: 1) running shoes 2) fake arm 3) can bear 4) human heart

Fun_Beard  We can all agree that Frosty the Snowman is white though, right?

thegrumbles  My deepest most horrible daily fear is that my phone will fall out of the back pocket of my pants into the toilet.

torgospizza  Santa is a concept, an idea. He’s like Christmas Batman.

morninggloria  Can I get pregnant from looking at pictures of babies dressed up as reindeer?

DrWrought  At least one person on any city bus smells like junior high

DrWrought  Before your kids encounter Santa for the first time, please prepare them, because Santa is terrifying

SomeChrisTweets  Welcome to the Museum of Independence. I will not be your guide.

palinode  “Please activate the pod seals, Mr. Smith. Breathe the gas in normally. When you wake up you will be the Prince of Bel Air.”

meaganewaller  The notion of a “feminist killjoy” is a myth. What joy is she killing? The joy you get from being a bigot? Good.

sweden  The worst thing with having a beard must be the massive amount of animals i catch with it during evening bike rides at summer.

donni  To make a long story short: The judge gave the dog full custody

donni  I’m handsome in the sense that I have some amount of hands greater than one

_yourDM  Uh yeah, I guess you can be a Dubstep Bard but only if you beatbox the whole time.

usedwigs  Did you know if you synch The Wizard of Oz to Dark Side of The Moon then synch that to your Christmas Lights your neighbors will hate you?

JRehling  I was talking on the phone with my friend and he said the NSA might be listening to us and another voice said “No we’re not.”

iboudreau  Being that he’s a figment of my imagination, I’ve decided to make Santa Claus green. Yup, he’s now an orc.

lianamaeby  “Don’t tell Mom the babysitter’s Dad.” – A wasted Mrs. Doubtfire tagline opportunity

samanthajcampen  Tubes of wrapping paper give off quite the siren song in this house. Sword! Light saber! Walking stick! Trumpet! Speed bumps! Baseball bat!

theleanover  I never get what I really want: finger lasers.

baconNmeggs  Once again I’m all dressed up in a movie quality bear suit and giant overalls with no place to go

rhysjamesy  A baguette is a female bag.

waferbaby  Wrote up peer reviews. Mostly mentioned punctuation and general smell.

kerihw  Nothing will ever be as cool as the time a kid in our school came in after christmas with a Casio watch that was also a tv remote control.

Stormbeard  I think if you’re the only one on a train you should get to ride up front with the driver.

kerihw  *avoids Sherlock spoiler by dipping shoulder and sending it one way, then accelerating in the opposite direction*

AaronFullerton  People make fun of Starbucks holiday drinks, but in LA, it’s the only way we can tell seasons.

wordlust  I don’t think you have an ugly child. I think you have an average-looking orc.

joshjs  I found Jesus, you guys. He was hanging out in front of the Circle K with Ramon and Buddha.

stevelibrarian  My house smells like cookies! Also, my mouth tastes like cookies!

MandiHarris  But, like, why isn’t there a butt emoji?

theleanover  R2D2 is pretty sassy for a diaper pail.

JerryThomas  My comfort zone is itchy.

fierceflawless  If you really love me & care about my wellbeing, never invite me anywhere before 9 am.

UnFitz  *makes love, not war* *love turns out to be more devastating than war*

josephesque  My wife discovered a parkour court nearby so my dream to be the most pathetic person west of the Mississippi can be realized in Portland.

usedwigs  I like when reality show producers introduce conflict to shake things up but this turtle is being a real dick to the kittens on Too Cute!

annetdonahue  So according to the barista’s expression, a serious “oh I will” is the creepiest way to follow up his “thank you, enjoy.”

pervocracy  “There are a lot of perverts on the Internet” was supposed to mean “watch out” but ended up meaning “you’re not alone!”

schmutzie  90% of the spam comments on my blog are from people shilling for a spell-casting love doctor.

BugginWord  I’m amused by how often I receive emails from my husband that contain the phrase, “I’m a little hesitant about ‘herpes.'”

shinyinfo   Why do you think NORAD is involved with Santa? This shit goes all the way to the top!

michaeljnelson  I can see that this lady is a tramp, but what about this gentleman who is currently eating his own boiled shoe?

owlpacino  Please don’t make charts about Kanye West. That’s exactly what he wants you to do.

manspeaker  We speak of our “founding fathers” as if they all had the same beliefs, the only thing they had in common was bad teeth.

DrWrought   my boyfriend doesn’t carry a cell phone, so once in a while I write a note on a Post-it, stick it to my phone, and throw it at him

MommyMG  Found out the one major drawback to my neighbor letting me borrow all her smutty books: imagining my neighbor reading all these smutty books

TheMichaelRock  No thanks, button fly jeans. My life is complicated enough.

ashleycrem  I think the saddest thing about Fox News host Megyn Kelly arguing that Santa is white is that nobody bothered to tell her Santa isn’t real.

TheDoeOrTheDeer  The hole in the crotch of my leggings is sending mixed signals to the husband.

WhirledRecord  New criminal defense: Compare your crime to worse crime. “Yes, I killed 3 people, but it’s not like I’m Hitler.” Judge: “You’re free to go.”

RamseyEss  So, wait. Duck Dynasty is NOT a show about Chinese duck emperors. What is THAT show called, then?

trumpetcake  Name your cat “Wheat” so all your friends with cat allergies can say “I’m allergic to Wheat.” HAHAHA! My car is slowly filling with exhaust.

snazzmania  if I ever get a snapchat rest assured all my “dick pics” will just be gumshoe detectives peering at me around corners

thejenneral  Shout out to my upstairs neighbor. Best elephant breeder in town!

Caissie  That Duck Dynasty should stop thinking about men’s anuses for two seconds & start thinking about duck’s penises if he wants to be upset.

snazzmania  oh god what if that family from indian in the cupboard put actual food in there, they would’ve been attacked by pringles & ramen

robfee  Do you take my dip to be your lawfully wedded dip, vowing that when I dip, you dip, but more importantly, we dip.

dubouchet  I’ve told my cat “Good job!” at least a million times. Pertaining to very basic stuff. USA.
