Basically, what comebacks do you have when someone asks why you don't have a boyfriend/girlfriend?
-My in-laws couldn't conceive
-Are you asking me out?
-I'm skipping my first marriage
-You and mom are 15 years apart, I'm just waiting for the right 10 year old come along.

Taser tests meth ridden sheep to make sure death won't occur to humans on meth when tasered. This could be a joke, but the picture is pretty sweet.

Here are some picture hosting sites with their policies as of 2011.

Google+ will support unlimited picture and 15 minute video uploads. Not sure how good the interface will be for simply personal backup.

http://imgboot.com/ is another option for unlimited picture hosting. need to check it out. Supposedly saves full res versions unlike shutterfly which charges for those.

www.flikr.com by Yahoo has unlimited photo storage and 90 second video.

Picasa has unlimited photo storage, but only for pictures under 800 pixels and up to 15 minute videos.

One thing I look for is a static page link to pictures, at least for images I want to post in craigslist. The downside is lack of privacy.

So I learned a few terms playing pick up volleyball games with strangers.

When someone says it's time for a watermelon break, they are referring to a busty girl about to walk past the court they want to check out, not the fruit. I laughed.

One guy playing volleyball asked a girl playing with us if she was seeing anyone, and she said she was "in an NST relationship". I asked what that was, completely not expecting it to be a shorthand reference to what I'd seen on hilarious personal ads on craigslist, but indeed it was a No Strings Attached relationship.
