Donald sent me these pictures (his own FAIL notations included) of his friends in an email titled "This is how we do it in South Africa". If this is actually how people "do it" in South Africa, then a lot more question opened than answered for me. Here's everything I previously knew about South Africa:
1. It has three separate capital cities.
2. In 11th grade, a kid transferred into my school from South Africa, improbably named Trevor Player. He was really good looking and played on the soccer team, and all the girls were interested in him at first, though he never ended up living up to the name.
I'm not sure how these new pictures are figuring in to my my limited knowledge of how things are "done" in South Africa. Please allow these pictures to weave themselves into your own personal South African knowledge narrative.

This Is Why You Should Be Nice To Your Interns
Someone just sent me this photo along with this description:
"I was doing an internship a year ago, and this douche was the head of my department. Mind you he was at the time a newlywed who just had a baby and another 1 on the way. Mind you this is at the company Xmas party. In front of CEO'S and everyone, and that's not his wife."
Anyone reading this who works in an office: go buy your intern lunch right now. You don't want to taste their wrath.
Thanks to the anonymous angry intern who send me this. I'll be writing your letter of recommendation shortly.

I Hate My Friends
You know what? Screw all my stupid friends. They are always trying to tell me about like their feelings and what happened on their date last night and try to invite me to their stupid parties. I'm ditching them all.
I've got all the friends I need right here at home. I've got Mr. Teddy, Captain Fuzzy, and Princess Monkey. Who's lonely NOW, JERKS?
Love Rubdown
Missed Connections
Have you ever seen someone across the room in a restaurant or crowded bar, and felt this immediate connection, but you didn't know how to say it? Perhaps the girl sitting at the table behind you, something draws you to her.
You felt paralyzed by anxiety, and couldn't find the words; yet you knew you both shared something that was so obvious and clear. Two plaid ships passing in the night.

Reality Bites
On reality competition shows, contestants are always trying to prove to the judges and their other contestants how much they want it. There's always lots of discussion where the judge is like "I don't know if you really want to be here," and then the contestant says "I WANT this so bad I want it more than starving children in Africa want a hot meal and affordable AIDS medicine." This is something that isn't paralleled in real life. It's not like when you're at your job, your boss says "I'm not convinced you want to update this Excel spreadsheet enough." No one really cares what you want or how much you want it.
In real life, it's better not be constantly trying to show how much you "want it". Because you'll end up coming off like this:

Thanks to Matthew Phelan for the picture of his friends from high school. And to Matthew Phelan's friends from high school: you may commence shoving Matthew in a locker in retaliation.

The Shining: Beer Cans
Remember that scene in The Shining where the beautiful naked lady comes out of the bathtub, and Jack Nicholson starts making out with her, and then she turns into a hideous old rotting woman? These two photos from the same party are basically that same scene, but with beer instead of babes. Just as seductive, and just as horrifying.
The succulent, nubile tub of cold ones:
The horror of the pile of trash in your stairwell the next day:

UPDATE: WTF Costume Deciphered
Some very clever readers unraveled the mystery of the WTF costume from yesterday. It's supposed to be a photo negative of a person (all colors are opposite).
Toner Huffer made a photo to demonstrate the costume where he did a negative of the photo. This photo definitely deserves my favorite overused phrase: "disturbingly lifelike".
The original photo:
