Innovation like this looks so simple from the outside. Like Patrick Rhone said recently, you sit there and ask yourself, “Why did I not think of that”

“Could also be used as a weapon.”

brings new meaning to “keyring”

Still-sparkling

merlin:

BET Awards celebrate Michael Jackson - CNN.com

Like a well worn but still-sparkling glove, BET slid easily into Michael Jackson mode Sunday as the network’s annual awards show began.

Ok. Wait. Let me get a pencil and a nice Xanax.

  1. This glove sparkles. Still sparkles. Despite being “well-worn.” I’m struggling to reconcile that. But, no matter.
  2. The inexplicable glove simile is used to modify BET, right? Read the sentence again. Ok, why not? BET is a glove. That still-sparkles. And is well-worn. Sure. Moving on.
  3. So, what is it that’s sliding into this glove? Aha! Exactly! Nothing. It is the glove that is sliding into something else. Got it? BET is a glove. That still-sparkles. And is well-worn. And is—contrary to a more traditional application of the metaphor—sliding into something else. But, what will this glove slide into, you ask?
  4. A “mode.” The glove is sliding into a “mode.” While still-sparkling.
  5. The “mode” is “Michael Jackson mode.” And now it has a glove in it.

Later, awards will be distributed.

When white people think about regular salt, all they can think about sodium and poor health. When they think about Sea Salt they think about France. So it’s no surprise that it has become so popular. But Sea Salt is like Trader Joes, Banksy, or The Shins-entry level to their respective field. Therefore, it is important that you learn about other more expensive salts so that you can complain about not having them. To a white person, this shows that you know and love expensive things but feel sad that you can’t yet afford them. From here you can fill up an entire evening by making the same complaints about art, real estate or Europe.

Ed Hardy is so hated by white people that it cannot be worn ironically. This is no small feat. As it stands, the only other entries in this category are Nazi Uniforms, Ku Klux Klan Robes, and self-tanner.
