J. Paul Getty III, member of the Getty oil dynasty family, died recently at the age of 54. His life sucked.
- He was kidnapped when he was 16 and when his father and grandfather refused to pay the ransom without evidence that it was not a hoax. Four months later, the kidnappers, demanding $3 million, cut off the kid's right ear and sent it as evidence.
- His billionaire grandfather paid $2.2 million in ransom ("the maximum that his accountants said would be tax-deductible"). His grandfather lent the remaining to the father...at a 4 percent interest.
- He was disinherited by the same grandfather who disapproved of his marriage and received nothing in the will.
- He became addicted to alcohol and drugs, from which he had an overdose that led to a stroke leaving him wheelchair bound, paralyzed, unable to speak and partly blind.
Money don't buy happiness, kids.
Time Out New York asked Samuel L. Jackson if he had seen anyone fall on the subway tracks in New York. He answered:
I myself was dragged by a subway train. Years ago, in 1990. I was getting off the train, a lady dropped her bag, and I stopped to pick up her stuff. Had one foot on the platform, one foot on the train, and the door shut and the train took off. I got dragged the length of the platform! Luckily I was in the last car, I was a car and a half away from the tunnel before someone pulled the emergency cord. ...It ripped my ACL to shreds. And I sued the shit out of the MTA!

While I was recently browsing J Crew's website, I got a pop-up message from their online chat customer service. Inspired by Guboogi's friend (also named Matt) I had the following conversation with "Erin."
Erin: Hello! How may I help you?
Me: I'm curious about the 484 slim fit jeans, but first I'm wondering...what is the meaning of our existence?
Erin: I am sorry, that is a question I cannot answer for you. Each persons meaning is different, only you can decide what the meaning of your existence is.
Erin: Now, how can I assist you with item 33367?
Me: How much do those jeans shrink or stretch?
Joe, the unofficial photographer of my friend's wedding in the Dominican Republic sent me this photo of me and Jay doing water aerobics. The things we'll do because of alcohol and a hot blond...
Lil Wayne at the Super Bowl this weekend. Congrats to the Packers for the statistic that Aaron Rodgers has just as many Super Bowl rings as Brett Favre.
Purrfectly hilarious.
