Day 21: Civil War Battles
Memorial Day, originally Decoration Day, was first celebrated after the Civil War to commemorate the lives of lost soldiers. Here’s a little history on the bloodiest war in American history. And of course, let’s remember all soldiers we’ve lost in all wars today.
Why why why would you color the Confederacy blue.
Apparently its flavored with a combination of grape, dragon fruit and papaya, which is guess is perfect if you’re trying to slip someone a roofie at Bar None. Maybe if you dump it into a 40 of High Life it’ll taste like Four Loko…
Abomination.
Social media is ruining everything good in this world.
Not sure the Spitzer Building really has the gravitas to pull off the surname thing.
“Where are you located?”
“The Spitzer Building.”
“Ah yes.”
Welcome to your Friday in lame stock photography.
Previously At Tumblr HQ.
- This meeting is now in session. Wait, where’s Chris?
- I’m here, sorry, I was taping a picture of tubgirl to our intern Annie’s monitor.
- Goddamnit
- Okay, this meeting is now in session.
- Where did David get that gavel?
- It’s a replica of Judge Judy’s
- No.
- Totes ironic.
- Can somebody tell me why I can’t upload this picture of me eating salad to my blog?
- God, Meaghan, you don’t even go here anymore.
- Too insidery.
- Too inside-HER-y. BOOM!
- Nice.
- Gross.
- I’ve called you all here to reveal the true reason as to why our servers keep crashing.
- Is it because you employ a team of inept programmers who don’t know how to scale?
- Alice, why are you here?
- Someone told me there was Franzia.
- Well, there isn’t, so if you wouldn’t mind?
- Whatever, fucking hipsters.
- I don’t want to alarm you all, but the real reason our servers keep crashing is-
- FIRST!
- Peter! This is not CollegeHumor!
- It isn’t? What’s with the Lodwick statue in your office then?
- I don’t wanna talk about it. The real reason-
- It’s aliens, isn’t it?
- More like Alien: Resurrection! Joss Whedon, homeboy!
- Don’t say that, he denounced the movie.
- What? No.
- Yeah, he said they poorly executed his vision, kinda like with the original Buffy movie I guess.
- Man, I hate that we live in a world not enlightened enough to realise his flawless brilliance.
- Word.
- Alright, fuck it, I’m just gonna come out and say it. The real-
- Ah shit, I spilled my PBR.
- REASON TUMBLR KEEPS CRASHING IS ZOOEY DESCHANEL.
- Huh?
- What?
- Somebody get me to a Photoshop.
- Open the video link with our Board of Directors.
- Why are we looking at a picture of a Gumby doll and the Mario Bros?
- Shhh Annie, who do you think runs this place?
- Peons, I’m afraid it’s true, her joining overloaded our entire network. Twitter was warned ahead of time so they had a chance to install buffers to prevent the virulent strain of twee infecting all of their hardware, we weren’t so lucky.
- So… what does this mean?
- Just hope to god she never posts again. Which, with all the servers down, hopefully she won’t be able to.
- Nope, she just updated. Oh god.
- What is it?
- It’s just a picture… a picture of her eyes…
- I can’t stop looking at it.
- What’s happening? I can smell smoke.
- The office is on fire!
- The evil of our obsession has brought us to our end! Our ambitions have unmade us!
- Oh, no, never mind. Found the problem, the power outlet’s broken from when we tried hiding Diller’s keys in there. All we have to do is put the cable in another outlet.
- So we’re back?
- Yep.
- Alright, back to work everyone! Remember our priority for the week, Christmas themed avatars. Oh and I bought you all Ferraris so we can pretend to be the guys from Entourage after work.
- We love you David.
- Aww, I love you guys too.
Facts? Who needs those? At least they’re admitting their beliefs are bullshit!
Not photoshopped. The color temperature says the photo was snapped at the golden hour and the corresponding height and length of the grass shadows are too convincing.
Fine. Perhaps I am a little overextended. A lot on my plate, granted. Neglecting my personal relationships? A bit.
But when it’s 3pm and you’re just now noticing that you’re wearing different shoes…
I suppose we all have things which make us stabby.
This is a menu for Alcatraz Pizza, located in San Francisco. Alcatraz, you will note, is also located in San Francisco. Not being tourists, we’re don’t need the primer. It’s actually just a cut & paste of the Wikipedia entry, which is code for “why bother?”
Pretty sure the denizens of Brooklyn know about their bridge, too.
What’s this? It has been featured in movies? You don’t say.

Forget the play clock, forget instant replay, forget drug testing standards. Can we all just agree to ban sportwear that does not correspond with team colors? We did we start tolerating this? Yesterday I saw a Giants cap in Dodger blue, which, forgive me, is where I draw the fucking line. Why not just fly the al-Queda flag at Ground Zero?
It’s a simple rule and I’d like it instituted immediately: If the item of clothing is not worn by a member of the team, the wearer is subject to food or drink being thrown at said item by random passers-by. No gender is exempted from this rule. It might even boost concession sales. We can’t stop the owners from merchandising this crap, but we can stop fans from buying it.
Half an hour and not a single fucking cab in all of downtown Oakland. God, how I hate this city.
I think I could pull it off you guys.
Have you heard about the invisible golf course in the middle of downtown San Francisco? It’s like Harry Potter’s train platform. You have run right into the wall.
You first.
