Weâve all been there â awake at midnight at tempted to @reply to some ridiculous thing that 50 Cent just tweeted. Hilarious Tweets Sent by Unknown Tweeters to Famous People (or HTTFP, as they call themselves) is a Tumblr blog that collects images of just that type of tweet.
âCause, come on, we all know Justin Bieber isnât reading about how youâre in school and looking at a poster of him, and someone needs to appreciate your gesture.
Printing Facebook
âEver thought to yourself: hey I would love to have all my Facebook friendsâ profile pictures printed on one giant poster and decorate my living room wall with it? Yeah, me neither, but perhaps if youâd learn that you could do it, maybe youâd consider it.
Enter Printing Facebook, which, well, lets you print all your Facebook friendsâ profile picture on one giant poster for you to decorate that living room wall with:

âArtist Benjamin Lotan, who cooked up his âFriend Posterâ thing just in time for the opening weekend of The Social Network, says this is only the first product in a series of many to comeâââin an email he says an option to print out your Tumblr blog will be out next.

My brother is always hilarious, that is undeniable. But this article is so honest, and speaks to something I agree with so wholeheartedly, that I had to share it with you all. This is my soul friends; my soul.

Oh! Also shirts.
Shirts are pretty rad.

I miss this show.
Flap Flap Flapping my Albatross wings!
