Mostly I'm just baffled as to how people can love "Blurred Lines" so much. The beat is catchy (you can thank Marvin Gaye for that), but everything else about it makes the song too silly to listen to.
I saw about 10 seconds of the video clip. I immediately closed the tab when he spelt his name as a hashtag.

... Wat?

Just watch the first few seconds of it, you'll see what I mean.

I have gone out of my way to avoid watching Blurred Lines.

...And while I'm here.

Walmart rickrolled us today.

You haven't seen anything yet. Jump to 3:13 (NSFW, obviously) to see when he crosses the line from standard douche into pure douche bag concentrate.

Oh, I knew what you meant.  My "Wat" was more of a metaphorical statement of disbelief followed by a figurative facepalm, but I think I should have put more words in there to make it clearer, Hehe.

I like this (also NSFW) parody: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tC1XtnLRLPM

There are some lines I'm not crazy about, but overall, it does a good job of pointing out how absurd it all looks when you flip the genders around.

More seriously, there's a picture on Tumblr with rape victims holding signs with quotes from their rapist on them, paired with lyrics from "Blurred Lines" that are disturbingly similar.
Still can't think of a signature a year later.

After shoveling the driveway today and getting annoyed with the ice, I now wish I owned a flamethrower.

That would be awesome.  Aside from the risk of setting the house/trees/bushes on fire.

Realistically, I'd prefer something like a giant portable hairdryer.  Then I can just melt the driveway, put down rock salt in the water, and call it a day.

I prefer to use Calcium Chloride.  It's less damaging to the environment and can melt ice in colder temperatures.

Unless that's what the sidewalk salt we use is, then there is none of that being sold within this entire county or so.

If you have access to a good, strong leaf blower, buy a large janitorial dustpan or scoop (name differs by region), preferably a sturdy metal one with a replaceable heavy duty vinyl edge strip, and strap the dustpan to your blower's nozzle. There is a commercial, manufactured version called Air Jet Snow Shovel, an add-on leaf blower accessory, if you have the money. It works on ice, too, once you crack and remove an edge of the ice sheet so the blower air can get under it.

I sympathize completely. However, to use against us. Let me ask you a troll. On the one who pulled it. But here's the question: where do I think it might as well have stepped out of all people would cling to a layman.

Yeah, a leaf blower is very much a luxury we can't afford.

And a snow blower?  Completely out of our financial reach for the most part.

You can get a good leaf blower at a yard sale or second hand store for nada. A new one powerful enough for this would set you back about 35-40 bucks if it's not on sale. A janitor size dust pan is five bucks, maybe ten if not on sale. Then, several good tight winds of duct tape to attach it to the blower's tube end. It works just as well as a small snow blower for one tenth the price.

Just never fiddle with a leaf blower inside the house.  I blew several tiles off the floor and the ceiling fan down once. 

One does great for cleaning out a gas heater, though...  Just watch where you aim.
