sorry folks, i don’t mean to bring the party down, but jesus satan is getting it from all sides these days. so let’s laugh at our miserably pointless lives together, shall we? together via the internet. which is really not together at all. i’m so lonely : O (  Chuck Bukowski says it a little more eloquently with his poem The Shoelace, but sometimes simplicity works just as well, hence the fffuuuuuu meme that’s so cool with the nerd kids these days. there are a ton more of these all over the internet, as well as a few aggregated at the Rage Thread here (with a few more choice ones after the jump, as well).

“I’ve read the articles, watched the instructional videos, and gotten an invite, but nothing—nothing—has done more to explain to me how this mind-melting Internet Thing works than Pulp Fiction, spectacularly adapted for Google Wave. (Warning: Tarantino language ahead)” – John Herrman @gizmodo

A fucking awesome collection of lego dudes. Many more can be seen at MacLane’s Flickr (Batman, Nightcrawler, Wonderwoman, T-1000, etc.)
