I don't rely on the notifications for group updates. I just do rounds from my homepage.

No... I mean, I just don't follow threads that way. I don't use the notification system to alert me to new comments, I check group threads I'm interested in from my homepage or by group.
The only things I get notifications for are likes, comments on reviews, and review/status comment threads.
^That's what I do. I turned off all notifications. Sometimes a thread will reset itself to give me notifications, but I quickly fix that.
Well, I don't get notfications anyway...
This guy is my hero

That British post reminded me of this one:
(It's kinda hard to read on my screen so, for anyone else having trouble: "When I read the Avengers, I had to stop and make myself a cup of tea. I was so excited."

Not sure if you guys know about the NYPD hashtag fiasco that happened this week. But anyway, I came across this one today and it made me crack the hell up:https://twitter.com/TheBardockObama/s...
You can read about the fiasco here (careful at work, there is a video that plays automatically): http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/headlines...

The US totally needs one of those Cornwall signs and a tea truck. A tea truck! I need to move.

I saw a couple. Let me go see this!

ANd that viral marketing is hard...

Truth
Of course Terry Pratchett gave us:"The only things known to go faster than ordinary light is monarchy, according to the philosopher Ly Tin Weedle. He reasoned like this: you can’t have more than one king, and tradition demands that there is no gap between kings, so when a king dies the succession must therefore pass to the heir instantaneously. Presumably, he said, there must be some elementary particles — kingons, or possibly queons — that do this job, but of course succession sometimes fails if, in mid-flight, they strike an anti-particle, or republicon. His ambitious plans to use his discovery to send messages, involving the careful torturing of a small king in order to modulate the signal, were never fully expanded because, at that point, the bar closed."
I think some of the organizations that fail at it don't have proper marketing folks that know what they're doing. Instead they have Tom from admin running the show because he knows what twitter is.
I live in the Land O'Jocks. :(
This is rather insulting and judgmental...
I'm sorry that you're offended. I thought it was funny - especially since the people I know is PA are definitely sports obsessed, with very few nerds in the mix.I'm not really sure what's judgmental, unless it's the idea that jocks and nerds don't get along? While it's a generalization, and there are of course nerds who like sports and vice versa, it's a pretty common joke theme.
I've lived in "wedgieland" and "land o'jocks"I can say that most people here are sports mad (especially since we always believe we'll win...even though we never do. We win the off season.).

Pterry also gave us this:
"Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it."

Alaska is the land of nerds?! I kinda want to see that!
Oklahoma is definitely jockville. Just ask anyone there about football.That map is lies.
I wasn't being serious....really.
OMG! I loved this: 22 Problems All People With Resting Bitchface Will Understandhttp://www.buzzfeed.com/erinlarosa/pr...
I LOVE the .gif for #22.
I'm not sure whether or not I have RBF or not. I suspected I might, but Jer says I don't... but, then, he says he's not sure I have a "resting" face as I tend to hold onto the last expression/emotion I felt.As such - I think sometimes I have a bit of a scowl about something, but it's a back-of-my-mind thing, so when people ask me what's wrong I'm like "What? Nothing"
So I do get that a lot - and it is annoying.
Nothing's wrong. Except now there is, 'cause you're annoying me.
LOL
And I have had to do "I'm not making a face. That's just my face."
I have also been told by people that they found me intimidating when they first met me.
The funniest for me here was #16. One time we were going to meet some friends of Jer's, and I was sitting on the couch like that, and this girl Erica, who is totally neurotic, was like "Are you judging me? Stop judging me!"
And I'm like, "I'm not - I'm resting... " O_O
But now I do it on purpose to mess with her.
