Five things we’re thankful for

#1: Our new offices!

Sure, the Xtra offices back in the Village were nice, but. . . Yeah, the new offices are huge and awesome. Also, there’s candy by the front desk and it just keeps magically replenishing itself! I’m pretty sure they use Oompa Loompas…

#2: Penises and penis-shaped stuff

All of my most-read posts on this blog have involved penises.

#3: Rob Ford will eventually stop being mayor

The weird thing is, although Rob Ford gives me just TONS of great material, I cannot goddamn wait until he’s gone. Sure, he’s an easy target, but holy shit, all the mildly witty blog posts in the world would not make this guy sufferable.

#4: Courtney Stodden’s face
