lady gaga = "ferosh"
Lady GaGa tells the new issue of Blender: “Writing a record is like dating a few men at once. You take them to the same restaurants to see if they measure up, and at some point you decide who you like best. When you make music or write or create, it’s really your job to have mind-blowing, irresponsible, condomless sex with whatever idea it is you’re writing about at the time.”

drive time entertainment
passed by this guy on 95 the other day. i was driving like an idiot just to get this picture for jiffy feet. dude's got a beard, red lens glasses, a jimmy rigged 3-wheel motorcycle/trailor - that's yellow by the way, AND a penguin riding bitch! then today i passed by a lady flossing her teeth while driving. man, i love going to work these days. what will i see tomorrow??
glasshopper
this poor leafy, grasshopper thing has been on the glass of the sunroom at work for the past four days. he's still alive, but doesn't seem to move around much. and this morning i just realized, he's missing one of his big back legs! how sad :( we're not sure if he can't move because of that, or if he just likes it there. i think someone should place him in the grass. he's gotta be starving.

mcdonald's fresh salad board
to promote thier new fresh salads, mcdonalds planted lettuce seeds on their billboard space. as the lettue grew, the message "fresh salads" grew. genius.
