It's an "art project" - People make homemade postcards and mail them into this blog. The hook is it has a secret about themselves on it. Some of this is QLC crap. But some of it is actually pretty good.

Yeah lots of them are genuinely shocking. I wanted to post this one because the lightheartedness of it was quite refreshing:

Great site. I wish he would keep an online archive of all the older submissions. Some are crap but you can tell which ones are really genuine.

Cartalk is great!

I don't have a car nor do I want to have one!

Sometimes a picture expresses more than 1000 words:

A Sample:

My guess is they tried being consistent with the plural at first, and then decided that SNACKS ON STICKS sounded too disturbing. Like Apocalypse Now food or something.

This is frozen coffee, people. Yeah, it almost sounds kind of good, until you freeze a whole bunch and take them out and look at them and hit a few of them together and hear them go thunk thunk, and say, "oh feuck this sehit," and drop the whole tray on the floor in disgust.
