Title: Things around the internet you want to save forever Post by: schild on August 30, 2008, 03:04:56 AM You know how sometimes you come across something that you want to save, just because it's 10 flavors of awesome or because it's a stroke of genius on an otherwise meh website. I do that a lot, but I'm tired of making text files, losing them, having jpgs floating around everywhere. So now they go here, where we can present them to each other.
Speaking of presenting, I give you the best description ever on shirt.woot: (http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/39720/miscellany/ot/Hungry_BentoyirStandard.png) (http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/39720/miscellany/ot/Hungry_Bento1aaDetail.png) Click for detail! Quote 2nd place in Derby #57: Dessert, with 654 votes! Let’s talk about that orange wedge for a second. That orange wedge started life on a tree in a very specific climate. Everything was fine. Then, one day, a guy walked by and ripped it away from the only home it ever knew. Then it got put in a bag, and then a truck, and then another truck that was probably very very cold. A few days later it showed up in some strange kitchen, where it was sliced away from all its brother and sister wedges. And now, on a plate, it has a very limited time before it is either eaten or goes dry and is thrown away. That is not the warm smile of contentment. That is the crazed smile of a thing beyond pain. Like Bjork at the end of “Dancer In the Dark”. They can’t hurt the orange wedge any more. No one can hurt the orange wedge ever again. |
