These are some quiet days on the blog. Ryan is in Thailand, Thor is swamped with important stuff and since I’m in the very shithole of Indonesia, that is Bali, I thought I would tell you some stories about what happens in Asia. Now, I hope that I will be able to satisfy you...

I hate forced sequels. Spider-Man 3…Jaws 2, 3, 4…Weekend at Bernie’s 2: they all sucked, and they damaged the original successes. So while I feel guilty for the dry spell in Bro and Tell, please know that I still care, and I hope you do too....

Just found this list on the Flavorwire blog. It’s hilariously (and sometimes unfortunately) true. The XX Blog enthusiasts who thought wearing a keffiyeha was awesome. Passion Pit Bros vaguely interested in listening to music and very interested in having sex with their girlfriend. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs Girls who bought checkered sneakers in the 8th grade.
