Yo, peep this: “The more creative a person is, the more sexual partners they are likely to have,” sez a new study.
Shit. Like that’s news. Why y’all think we can’t always get a post up every day in this bitch? Cuz we be knockin’ mad BOOTS, yo!
So why y’all gotta waste my flava? […]

Here we are, folks. The Monday after Thanksgiving, and we’re all sluggish. We’re also reinforced in our contempt of family and in-laws, newly divorce-pending and/or disowned, and a little more wanted by the local authorities–wait, that’s just me. Sorry Aunt Cathy, you know what that box wine does to me. Raaaarrrr.

Technorati Stats on Frinktank

Only a test…

Turducken? Try TurDIEken

Happy Thanksgorging, loyal FrinkTank readers/automated crawlbots!
This is Not Shitashi’s favorite holiday: no gifting obligations, no b.s. card-buying–just straight-up face-stuffin’ and nap-havin’. But even exercising this God-given right can prove deadly.

But forget about why this is happening - let’s think about what comes next. That’s right: 1.012 women for every […]

Short of dying in a ball of flaming wreckage, there’s nothing like a trendy-yet-ambiguous mental disorder to whip up interest in a flagging entertainment career! (Unless you’re Dave Chappelle, in which the exact opposite applies. *cuckoo!*)
So now that autism is the new black and Tim Burton is suddenly clawing his way out of a ten-year […]

Pregnant chicks, man

What’s more annoying than heavy traffic? That’s right, pregnant women. Combine the two and you get a Bush-era phenomenon of infinitely more annoyance: the opportunistic use of pro-life activism. Let me explain.

Recently an Arizona woman was pulled over for the highly ticketable offense of driving solo in the High-Occupancy Vehicle lane. Her excuse? Forgetfulness? Late […]
