Freestyle Friday: Words Are Cool
at Friday, January 15, 2010
In case you were too lazy to click on that "Tumblelog" tab up top, it links to a side blog I maintain on Tumblr, which I've creatively dubbed Genius Tumbling. I know, right? The painful truth of the matter is that I don't update it nearly as often as I used to, however, I still manage to log on frequently enough to check out what others are posting.
Now in case you didn't know, most people on Tumblr (like myself) simply post pictures or the occasional video. One thing in particular that I see a lot of on there is something I refer to as "word whoring," wherein someone attempts to make a phrase or quote look far more funny/cute/poetic than it really is, simply by superimposing it on a colored background. Examples can be found here, here, here, fucking here, sweet Jesus here, here, and yes, una mas here. And it only took 5 minutes of waiting on the Tumblr wire to get all of those. But you get the point. Odds are at one time or another you had something similar set as your desktop wallpaper. I know I have.
For today's Freestyle Friday I thought I'd try my hand at word whoring. Each of the following are gems mined from the part of my brain that has nothing better to do on the bus ride home from work every day. You can even click through for the extra large versions to use as wallpaper. What can I say, I'm a giver.





Freestyle Friday bonus -- lighting yourself on fire is cool!

Awesome.
I don't get the 'bigger'/'lube' one.
I've found quite the opposite, really.
Maybe because I have a tiny, leaky penis.

Is this a hobby for people who never get their shit published on Post Secret and feel really bad about it?

The second one makes me think you have had a run in with Jeff Goldblum at some point.

LOL I love these!!!I especially like the eye contact is sexy unless you're pooping one... so true. Oh so true!
January 15, 2010 8:37 AM
You already realize how awesome you are, so I don't have to say it.

Pooping Eye Contact is the BOMB.
Good shit, Jay!
January 15, 2010 9:27 AM
Oh, the lube one. I die.

Haha! Epicness. I bet you were wearing like 500 more socks underneath that one. Either that, or you're superman.

Where are the backgrounds? The backgrounds make them so emotional. Don't you know that?
I'm actually proud to say you could go through my Tumblr and not find ONE of those. Well, okay, maybe just ONE. But it's mostly just awesome stuff like this:

And the video? Priceless, Jay. Priceless. Should I try that at home? Or will I inevitably screw up and end up making a 911 call?

Can you also fart in the tub and light the bubbles?
January 15, 2010 12:13 PM
So are your socks naturally flammable?

the eye contact one is hilarious, seriously hilarious.

I've done this sock trick many times, but I just know it's bound to end in disaster for someone someday.
FIRE BAD.

The flying fuck makes me think of an old Tome Green tape I used to have.
January 16, 2010 8:25 AM
I had no idea you could do that with a sock. I wonder if someone farts on your sock would it make a prettier flame?
Maybe I'll get The Husband to be my guinea pig.

same concept as the ironic tshirt, except you get to sell those

The one with the red background really speaks to me.
January 17, 2010 7:39 AM
Wow, I never thought about it before, but maintaining eye contact while pooping would be extra creepy, wouldn't it?
January 17, 2010 7:59 PM
Wow. Um, that sock thing was weird.
January 18, 2010 2:39 PM
new here.
And so fucking entertained....
January 18, 2010 9:51 PM
Hahahaha..."a flying fuck"
