My buddy Tom Buchok tweeted about this today, I think this site is really funny. It's called AwkwardFamilyPhotos.com, and the content is fairly self explanatory. I like making fun of people that are doing something completely innocent and that was intended to be personal.

Never before has a birthday cake photograph been so chilling.
The Surly Birds has quickly climbed high on my list of daily blogs to check.
These guys, ok one of them is my college roommate Scott, are consistently hilarious. It's almost a Seinfeldian blog about nothing, but at its core is a blog about everything. The Surly Birds make casual observations about not so casual topics, and find ways to make them interesting, funny and concise all at the same time.
My buddy Scott Lichtenauer has for a long time been one of my Best Friends and biggest enemies. If this was TMZ I would refer to us a "Frienemies". I love him like a brother, but he makes me furiously mad due to his constant drive to argue. The worst part is that he is really good at it. Like "James Carville" Good. "Scientologist" Good. He is altruistic on the most ridiculous topics, including the existence of "Lemon Juice" as his favorite juice. What is Lemonade?
Sugar + Water + Oranges = Orange Juice.
Thus Sugar + Water + Lemons = Lemon Juice.
Done!
Well Scott has taken it into the digital space with some friends, and he's already got me fuming. Its called The Surly Birds, and I think its awesome. This is a great blog for good conversation, but probably "arguments" is a better word.
You might ask the question, "are they just trying to argue or do they really believe the stuff they post." The answer is yes, they do believe everything they post, and they'll probably have you convinced soon as well.
