Tumblr Assistance Needed! →
My co-worker just sent me this Career Builder Super Bowl ad (the very first video on the right).
I enjoyed quite the laugh…but what is the koala saying at the end of the commercial??
I can’t figure it out for the life of me. Help me, Tumblr. Help me.

People seem to forget that consolidation is Darwinian, and cyclical. Strong companies grow by acquiring the pieces they need, and innovation wins either way.

Joe’s Shanghai does have amazing soup dumplings (life-changing, even).
Agreed. Joe’s Shanghai is simply delicious.
Reblogging for future reference.

Joe Torre tells of a 2005 game against the Devil Rays in which Yankees pitcher Kevin Brown stormed off the field down 6-0 after one inning, and later was found by the manager, shirtless and “curled up on the floor in a tiny crevice in the corner of a storage area in the back of the clubhouse.”
“What are you doing?” Torre said.
“I’m not going to go out there and pitch...
so spot on.

I missed a UPS delivery yesterday. Now they want me to take two subways to get to their ONLY Manhattan pickup center and then drag it home. The box weighs 75 lbs.
If I don’t do it within 5 days, it will be returned to sender. I kindly explained that I will never be home within the hours of 9 to 5, M-F, and would it be possible to schedule it for after work hours or at least can I be...

NY Times: Grab the Remote, the Doctor’s In →
Through the end of December, “The Doctors” had drawn an average of two million viewers, almost as many as the two-year-old “Rachael Ray” show. The program also seems to have helped turn medical TV — of the nonfiction sort — into a hot new genre.
Wait, wait, wait…I’m sorry…Sunday Styles, are you suggesting people actually WATCH this show? I’m floored. I had NO idea.

Youtube Video of the Day: SNL - Aladdin
My boyfriend insists on using the phrase “not in this economy!” like people insert “that’s what she said” into conversation — it never fails to crack him up.
Needless to say, I placed a text to him last night while watching SNL to say, “um, Jasmine totally stole your thunder in this sketch.”...
“I think this would be a good time for beer.”
– F.D.R., thinking aloud during dinner on his second Sunday in the White House.
He drafted a message to congress that same night, calling for the cancellation of Prohibition. The House was on board by Tuesday. The Senate signed on by Thursday. Done.
