Don't you just hate it when your mother breaks up your hockey fights?

Of wizards and wipe outs

There is no way this guy's enthusiasm was legally obtained

So this is what drumming on speed looks like

MIT students don't shower? We're shocked. Shocked!

Carly Fiorina has the laser-eyed sheep demographic locked up

Wall Street 2: This time it's going to suck
