Gateway blows.

If you want to recall long-forgotten cuss words, all you have to do is blow up a few USB ports.

Dude?

Freshly ripped off from Rhian — I took the quiz(zes).

You Know You Have Story Issues When…

:wtf: You search the whole house for the cable-box remote. Give up the search as futile, head to laundry room to empty the dryer (which, as it turns out, you’d forgotten to start in the [...]
