This is no joke. Do you want to be a scene girl... well Wikihow is going to tell you just how to do it. Dont forget to check out the tips section at the bottom of the page, these, of course, are some of the most important rules to follow in order to become a real scene girl! Lets just check out section 2- learning how to use scene lingo:
"Learn how to use scene lingo but don't actually use it until the end of your transformation. Two main words that you need to learn are HxC and SxE. HxC stands for hardcore. When you write it on MySpace/Bebo write it as hardxcore first time and then use HxC. SxE does not mean sexy, it means straight edge. That means that you don't drink, smoke, do drugs or have casual sex. Add letters onto the ends of words for example RAWRR and radd and kiddd. If another girl has really cool clothes then tell her they are 'so vogue' and say that a band is 'the sex'. Don't ever use this lingo to kids that aren't scene since they wouldn't know what: 'That guy is the sex, he is so hardxcore and raddd' means. When commenting peoples photo's add oxox or <333> "Find something that you believe in like Animal Rights. Then become strongly committed to it for example: become a Vegan/Vegetarian. Make your views about it known widly, like wearing T-Shirts that say 'Make Love Not War'."

Since 1780, Aleutian Island has been infested with the non-native Norway rats, after they jumped off a sinking Japanese ship to saftey, on what is now most popularly known as Rat Island. It took 229 years, but after dousing the island with poison, it appears to finally be rat free. While on the island, these rats drove away and terrorized all but the biggest birds, which are slowly beginning to return.
"The $2.5 million Rat Island eradication project, a joint effort
between the U.S. federal government, the Nature Conservancy and Island Conservation, is one of the world's most ambitious attempts to remove destructive alien species from an island. Now there are signs that several species of birds, including Aleutian cackling geese, ptarmigan, peregrine falcons and black oystercatchers, are starting to nest again on the 10-square-mile (26-sq-km) island."

After the next two years or monitoring, we will be able to determine whether the island is truelly rat-free.
Almost all fish is contaminated with trace amounts of mercury. While most healthy adults have no problem eliminating the mercury from their bodies..."children and women who are pregnant or butt fucking should avoid most types of fish and shellfish to reduce their risk of producing a stinky guy". If there are signs of bleeding please drink lots of water and try to eat grass when you can.
Here is a painting depicting an ever going challenge between man and child. A child is fishing a cock out
for his mother on Mothers Day but the locals aren't having it. They're saying "these cocks are bad" and this is how this whole "good fish, bad fish" mystery got started. Enjoy.
Just in time to impress your friends at the weekend bbq with all your uncanny music tastes, TPS proudly gives you two bangers to start your weekend off right.
First, the 80s no-wave Build remix of Phoenix's "1901" off the fantastic Wolfgang Amadaues Phoenix LP
Ron McDon is now an Alt-Kid going over his family's cell plan's minutes and loitering in malls trying to get some 45-year old drifter with friendly eyes to buy him beer.
Enjoy with me, what has been rated as one of the most amazing covers of all time. during these harsh struggles, we all need a little SMK. So lets take a moment for ourselves and finally get back to
This is the first entry to what will become a weekly feature called, "Dat Bitch". Each Dat Bitch will be written by a Latiqua, a very angry and culturally-aware half black, half puerto-rican woman from the Bronx.
Dat Bitch: Monica Lewinsky
"Can Dat Bitcch die already? I'm so tired of her fat ass. One Blowjob! One fucking BJ. Really, I'm sure dat bitch's head wasnt that good that she deserves publicity going on 14 years for sucking Bill Clinton's dick. Really! Please once and for all, let dat bitch die!!"
If you're a fat, 52 year old, piece of shit, who sits around in sweatpants, eating toast with cheese-whiz, whose sole income is disability and gives in to the temptations of child porn when feeling down like myself. Then you probably know and worship the long running, late night, AM radio, sci-fi programme, Coast to Coast hosted by the paranormal papal duo of Art Bell (a true god) and George Noory (I shook his hand in Albuquerque once). This show has been not only a companion for me during the wee hours of the morning but also a source that reveals the supressed truths that are 'out there'. However I have recently stumbled upon this new site that explores subjects which are too sensitive for the mainstream media... that Obama knows about and Ted Kennedy knew about until 'they' erased his memory, which by the way was covered up by a so called 'brain tumor'... he was gonna talk but 'they' (here's a secret surveillance video from their bunker at the center of the Earth, one of them I believe is listing celebrities on their hitlist) stopped him. Charles Schulz knew but he wasn't as fortunate as Mr. Kennedy. Anyways back on topic... just have a look for yourself here at the Atlas Obscura. Where they map out P.P.O.I (paranormal points of interest) like where a family lived in Kentucky that had 4 blue skinned children or the site of a mothman sighting or a nuclear blast sight that has been covered by a giant concrete dome. This is the real 'truth' this is what 'they' (here's another video where 'they' candidly give a tour of their top secret bunker) don't want you to see. So I suggest you take a browse for yourself and remember 'we are not alone'.
In the sea of music that floats around the interweb, blogs, ipods and whatever the hell else we use to drown out the sound of our own shitty lives, good songwriters seem to be far and few between. Recent years has shown that Indie music is trending towards a fuller, more synth-tastic sound, less concerned with the lyrical content that the music is supposed to help deliver. It is what it is, and I'm not saying its necessarily a bad thing, but Casio's, 808's and Autotune on everything can frag-out my brain. (For more on Fragile-X syndrome, follow here).
Taking a step back, I have dived back in to my lyrical heros: Stephen Malkmus (of Pavement), David Bazan (of Pedro The Lion), Jonathan Richman (of Modern Lovers), and finally Jason Lytle (of Grandaddy).
Well, just like the fambly cat, Grandaddy died a couple of years ago. Frontman Jason Lytle, the primary driving force behind the back, flew off the radar for a few years, going back to Modesto to do whatever it is you do in Modesto to keep from killing yourself. I would gather it involves cheap 12-packs, small firearms, and varments/neighbors' pets.
Jason Lytle is back, a little less somber and seemingly no worse for the wear. Playing all the instruments on the records, Lytle opens with the title track explaining "Last I heard I was left for dead/ I could give two shits about what was said/ I may be limping, but I'm coming home". Feeling all too forgotten, he seems to fight against the odds (most likely imposed by himself) and come out swinging.
Lyrically, Lytle's schtick is his voice. High, calm and drained, he delivers sad, bleak portraits of life, but with a very subtle sense of humor and optimism that makes him night and day when compared to Debby-Downer, Bon Iver.
On Yours Truly, he sings of talking to the ghosts of his old pets, reflecting on "how things got so bad", and pretty much emotionally kicking the shit out of himself. Believe it or not, it's a good summer album. It plays like the Traveling Wilburies and sounds like it too if you don't stop to pay attention to the lyrics, but that's the rub.
let crying babies live!. in this world, what has it come to? all these crying babies? and just not enough willis pie. but we can't all be living on the stool. little jon didn't like this day, he said "life was hard this day" and was later caught hiding under the rug in the dining room. experts say "he must have been trying to hide the beef".
Shooting reported at Holocaust Museum in Washington
Honestly people, as horrible as this may sound, this recent string of targeted violence has a silver lining. It is evidence that these bigoted idiots are realizing that their numbers are dwindling and their cause is no longer culturally relevant. People have either gotten over their problems with Jews, people who can't take care of babies, Gays, Blacks, etc, or have much, MUCH larger issues at hand.
When people realize the winds are being taken out of their causes' sail, they panic and do irrational shit like this. So, is this bad that abortion doctors are being murdered? Yes. Is it bad that some idiot decides to open fire at the entrance to the Holocaust Museum? Of course. Is it a sign that the collective culture of America is changing? I think so.
As Jim Lahey put it best, "The winds of shit are changing".

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Gunfire at the entrance of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum wounded at least two people Wednesday, emergency officials said.
Gunfire was reported near the Holocaust Museum in Washington on Wednesday.
A private security guard and another person were wounded, according to officials of the D.C. police and fire department. A police official said one of the wounded was the shooting suspect.
So first there was the Mosquito, the sound device that emitted high frequency sounds that almost anyone under 20, and almost no one over 30, could hear. The sound is so intolerable that after several minutes, the sound will drive you out of the immediate area. This device was designed to prevent crowds from loitering on the street and in front of unwanted stores, and it worked. But the latest anti-teenager device is much better, acne enhancing pink lights of course.
Another great idea, this time to drive kids out of an entire neighborhood.
"Residents of a Nottinghamshire housing estate have installed pink lights which show up teenagers' spots in a bid to stop them gathering in the area.
Members of Layton Burroughs Residents' Association, Mansfield say they have bought the lights in a bid to
curb anti-social behaviour.
The lights are said to have a calming influence, but they also highlight skin blemishes.
The National Youth Agency said it would just move the problem somewhere else. "
Check the eyes and nose for any type of discharge. If you see signs of discharge, then most likely your pet mouse has a respiratory infection.
Step 2
Watch the mouse's behavior. If you see one of your mice acting out of sorts that can also mean that they have a disease. You may see a decreased appetite or lack of activity.
Step 3
Assume that your mouse has a skin condition if you see it scratching or its skin begins flaking off. These signs indicate that the mouse has mites or lice.
Step 4
Separate the mouse if you suspect that it has a disease. You don't want the condition to spread to the other mice. Also, practice good hygiene when handling a sick mouse. Wash your hands, wear gloves and clean the cage that houses the sick mouse.
Step 5 Take your mouse to a vet. If you are concerned about a possible disease in one of your pet mice, then find a vet and ask her advice.
Come 12:01 AM on Saturday, they’ll be open to all. So choose wisely when you pick a name — or it could well end up like that tattoo you regret later in your life if you pick something like “mileycyrusfanforever.” Facebook notes this in their own way:
Think carefully about the username you choose. Once it’s been selected, you won’t be able to change or transfer it. If you signed up for a Facebook Page after May 31 or a user profile after today at 3 p.m. EDT, you may not be able to sign up for a username immediately because of steps we’ve taken to prevent abuse or “squatting” on names.
If you never heard Basement Jaxx's seminal "Rendezvous" LP back in 2000, now's your chance to catch up with them with this club-pleasing track. Video is pretty nuts too.
Today marks the release of Sonic Youth's latest LP, the eternal. p4k does a pretty great job hitting this review on the head. It's a good listen, but I say stick with Sonic Nurse or Rather Ripped.
Album Highlights: - What We Know - Malibu Gas Station - Poison Arrow
AT THE National Rifle Association’s 138th annual convention, held this year in Phoenix, Arizona, 65,000 people poured through the doors. They admired the fancy firearms, snacked on grilled buffalo and were happily recruited by shooting associations. Tom Power, of the Texas Gun Collectors Association, says membership has been soaring since Barack Obama took office. Bill Bachenberg, the owner of a shooting range near Allentown, Pennsylvania, has been registering 400 new members a month. “American gun-owners don’t trust this administration,” he says.
London-born designer Tom Price was commissioned by Arts Co. to produce a piece of work for ‘From Now to Eternity’, an exhibition celebrating design, and focusing on plastic as a versatile material. Addressing concerns over our increasing piles of wasted throw-away plastic products, he chose to create an ingenious series of chairs formed by strategically melting piles of polyester fleece.
