GoonSquadSarah If DirecTV were a person, they would be the one you are only friends with because they have a boat. #SundayTicket
notthatkendall I’m going to spend my morning writing articles on corporate compliance…or dead. Dead sounds kind of cool, relatively speaking.
theleanover Nowadays Sir Mix-A-Lot likes big buffets.

TheSuniverse There’s a spider above the door of the bathroom. Is it workplace harassment to tell a tall person to kill it?
keli_h last night, when i was reading E a story before bed, she said, “mom. i am so excited about having 2 dvd screens in our new car.” #priorities
rstevens My kingdom for a democratic republic.
TheManwife Hiring Manager: “Do you have any writing experience? Me: “Yes, I’ve published over 55,000 tweets.” I think I handled that rather well.

CandyWarhole If I’ve learn one thing in life it’s this: Never trust a man who knows exactly how many candy canes he can hang on his penis.
royalboiler If we ever get jetpacks they will be so uncool. Like fannypacks mixed with segways.

MariaMelee They need an app where you collect badges for doing this crazy parenting stuff.
kristenschaaled Thanks a lot Daylight Savings! Now I have to wait an extra hour for Christmas.

MeganBoley There are 7893 Cheerios on the floor. In case you need any, I have them.
KeepingYouAwake Achievement unlocked: re-rolling entire roll of toilet paper that a child unrolled to wear.
MariaMelee Daylight savings was so much cooler before it meant my kids would be getting up at 6 am.
librarianearp I love watching all the Harry Potter movies in a row. Watching the kids grow up, become better actors, watching Hagrid’s house move.

PolyesterPony Hey, a guy asked me out. Like on a date. Sorry about that earthquake there Oklahoma.

BridgetCallahan I just got spam promising me “close meeting with thoughtless facebook women” and I’m like, dude, I got that DOWN.
TheNextMartha I was just disciplining my 4 y/o and in the background my older son said “Oh Snap.”

Bibliosoph I can’t afford to buy new sweaters this winter, so I think I’ll just get fat to keep warm instead.
NicLewis After warding off 3 Best Buy guys with my technobabble, they descended upon a lady in a motorized cart. Now I’m conflicted about my powers.
