“— Jesus Shaves, by David Sedaris [2nd story on the page]"A rabbit?" The teacher, assuming I'd used the wrong word, positioned her index fingers on top of her head, wiggling them as though they were ears. "You mean one of these? A rabbit rabbit?"
"Well, sure," I said. "He come in the night when one sleep on a bed. With a hand he have the basket and foods."
The teacher sadly shook her head, as if this explained everything that was wrong with my country. "No, no," she said. "Here in France the chocolate is brought by the big bell that flies in from Rome."
I called for a time-out. "But how do the bell know where you live?"
"Well," she said, "how does a rabbit?"

“ When thirty-one-year-old Withers recorded "Sunshine," his first chart hit, he was still working at a factory making toilet seats for 747s." He originally intended to write more lyrics for the portion of the song where he repeats the phrase "I know" twenty-six times, but the other musicians told him to leave it the way it was. "I was this factory worker puttering around," Withers said. "So when they said to leave it like that, I left it. ”— Ain't No Sunshine - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

“ Okay. Can I just describe to you what I've realized I'm doing: My prosthetic leg was being crowdsurfed across the room at the Leeds Festival. Instead of my leg, I'm standing on a blue and white beach ball. Santa is sitting on the stage, watching. And a man down the front says "You can't sing Footloose any more 'cause George Michael is gay." Not one of those things makes any sense but fuck, it's gonna make one hell of a blog on Myspace. ”— YouTube - Adam Hills Crowd surfing his leg!

“ Marshall: A friend of mine knows a band from his hometown who played on one of the ferries that go between Finland and Sweden. When they were about to board in Stockholm, the Swedish equivalent of the DEA shows up with dogs and everything, so the guys in the band freak out 'cause they've (obviously) got their dope with them. After a few minutes of "fuck maaaan, what're we gonna do maaaaan!?", one of them goes to a Wal-Mart type store and buys a little remote-controlled helicopter. They proceed to plant the stash on it, leave it on the quay, board the boat and then use the remote to fly the drugs onto the ship ”— QDB: Quote #896406

“ Today, I was on a transatlantic flight home. I found the techno channel on the satellite radio and began to dance in my seat. Then I noticed that the guy across from me was doing the same thing. We had a furious dance off, in complete silence. It was amazing. MLIA ”— MyLifeIsAverage - Life Is Normal Today

“ Jason wanted to propose creatively to his girlfriend, Maui. So he conspired with comix legend, sf writer and all-round mensch Neil Gaiman: when Neil spoke in the Philippines, they would attend and Maui would queue up for a signature afterward. When she reached Neil, he would write "Will you marry Jason?" on the inside of her book and hand it back to her, and romance would ensue.— Neil Gaiman helps fan propose to girlfriend through book inscription - Boing BoingIt worked flawlessly (see the video). Maui was delighted and surprised, Jason got down on one knee, the crowd applauded and Neil sat there, grinning like a maniac.
How lovely!
...and Maui actually failed to notice Neil's dedication because she was so starstruck. It took him about three times to actually get her to read the darn thing.Maui (squealing, closing the book): Thanks!!!
Neil: Aren't you going to read what I wrote? You have to read it..
Maui (opening the book, shrugging, then closing it again): Thanks!!!
Me: You have to read the dedication...
And she bent over to give Neil a kiss, STILL not noticing what was going on.
Neil: You really have to read this...
When she did (FINALLY!)...
