I’ve never enjoyed reading mountains of textbooks for things that could easily be summed up into short Facebook statuses.

Yesterday I started to notice some interesting tweets about NHL teams, players, owners, and reporters.

People were using cupcakes to describe them.

And some of there were hilarious.

Here is a compilation of some of my favorite #NHLCupcakes (though I had trouble finding the ones the made me burst into laughter):

• RT @jerroberts: The Rick Dipietro Cupcake will be on the menu for 15 years but its always out of stock. #NHLCupcakes
• RT @dirvine31: The Crosby cupcake cries like a baby every time it loses the taste test versus the Ovechkin cupcake #NHLCupcakes
• RT @LightningShout: The Philadelphia Flyers cupcake: Its full of nuts that have no taste! #NHLCupcakes
• RT @katiepambu: The Pierre McGuire Cupcake: No one wants it in their bakery. EVER. #NHLCupcakes
• RT @blogesalming: The Eklund Cupcake: Convinces you you’re eating a cupcake and turns out to be urinal cake #NHLCupcakes
• RT: @camdavie: The Roberto Luongo Cupcake – Best before May 11th. #NHLCupcakes
• RT @snoggings: The Shea Weber cupcake: goes right through you #NHLCupcakes
• RT @kevinmfay: The Matt Cooke Cupcake – The deliciousness will blind-side you. #NHLCupcakes
• RT @_Justink: You don’t eat the Wendel Clark cupcake, the Wendel Clark cupcake eats you. #NHLCupcakes
• RT @musings_tweets: the Sedin cupcakes – only avalible in two packs #NHLCupcakes

And here are some of my own contributions:

• The @felixpotvin cupcake packs a punch! #NHLCupcakes
  • @felixpotvin’s response: Take that Hextall cupcake!
• @grevory will need to be “blown away” by offers in order to trade his Kaberle cupcake #NHLCupcakes
• @grevory wishes someone would just eat the Kovalchuk cupcake already. None of the other cupcakes will move otherwise #NHLCupcakes
• The Halak cupcake tastes delicious when you’re most hunger but you throw it away before you get any nourishment #NHLCupcakes
• The Phoenix Coyotes cupcake isn’t available in Canada… for now. #NHLCupcakes

The Twitter Fail Whale is the most endearing error page on the Internet.

This Twitter user turned the Fail Whale into a cake!

As Guy Kawasaki said, “Deliciously over capacity.”

I have a birthday coming up you guys

Tonight on the NTV Evening News there was buzz about the latest lottery. I decided to get a ticket.

This is my first ever lottery ticket. Of course I come home to a vibrant rainbow landing on my house.

I wonder what’s inside.

Update: I did not win the $50 million

Samsung ran a viral video campaign back in March featuring this guy throwing business cards at things. I don’t care that it’s prerecorded so there were likely hundreds of takes, it’s impressive.

A while back I saw this great post of photos that were not Photoshopped.

Now that the camping season is on its way back into my life I catch a glimpse of this photo from a camp trip last year.

If you look close you’ll see a man in the driver-side mirror.

This was not Photoshopped. Nerissa took this as I was driving.

On the same night as a major soccer game in Italy, Heineken hosted a classical music show.

Girlfriends begged their boyfriends to go.

Bosses encouraged their employees to go.

Educators recommended their students to go.

People who would have otherwise watched the matched were lured into attending a performance by a string quartet.

And the whole thing was staged.

I just hope the spectators were offered beer.

The soccer match was Real Madrid vs. AC Milan.
