Vivid Entertainment Announces Vivid-Superhero String of Adult Films
I’ve done my best to avoid publishing anything on this at all costs, but Vivid Entertainment (yes, the porn folk) have gone too far.

Stop the Insanity: Bacon Flavored Beverage Syrup
Un. Be. Lievable. The familiar Torani-labeled bottles that you see at your local coffee shop come in a wide variety of flavors. Does bacon have to be one of them? Apparently, yes.

Humor Training? Ask Microsoft
If you’ve been endlessly searching for an academic approach to humor, look no further than Microsoft’s Education site. Specifically, the “competency” section for “humor.”

Dear Readers, Kindly Explain Yourselves
Don’t ask me what we use Chartbeat for because I sit and stare at it all day trying to figure it out. What I can tell you is that it shows us where our traffic is coming from and one particular search term jumped out at Allie earlier today. It’s funny and disturbing.
