The whole office is stupid with bloglust over our newest crush, It Came From the Garage, the funniest, cutest, most interesting climbing blog ever on the anything, anywhere. It makes us want to close up shop and work to promote it. Now, we would never tell them this because it’s just too weird and random and will probably fade in like a minute anyway, but we might totally be falling in like.
Here’s a few of our favorite things about icftg, but please, go check it out yourself. And don’t even bother coming here anymore, we’ll just be there. Riding our bikes past the place, as if we have some znass down the block or something.
Ok, so for one, they have this page called Give Us Your Stuff.
give us your stuff
have an attorney draft a letter that gives us all your stuff. send the letter to us (we prefer .pdf format) and we’ll rent a u-haul and come get the items formally know as ‘your stuff’.
think of it as a tithing of sorts.
you know, sans all the salvation/ eternal life stuff.
So cute, right? How they never use the upper case? Just like how we NEVER EVER proofread a single post, or edit — our thoughts or words — for coherence or appropriateness. We have so much in common.
This is their About Us page:
About Us
Us is a magazine dedicated to celebrity lifestyles, en vogue dieting tips (not to be confused with bulimia), and pointless ‘how-to’ guides for people who think “telling her how you really feel” might actually work.
we here at ICftG have no affiliation with this magazine, nor do we condone reading it. if you want to feel bad about yourself you don’t need glossy photos of wealthy movie stars. might we suggest: 1) telling her how you really feel, 2) long overhanging jug hauls, or 3) showing your strong friend your totally “impossible” project…..
welcome to It Came from the Garage. where we put the “It Came from the” right before “Garage”.
it was our idea.
We are so taken and we are not even kidding.
One more thing, then just go see it. They did this post called Fan Queries, here’s part of it:
fan queries (or) email from the haters
17 06 2008
we here at ICFTG rarely receive mail from our readership. for awhile i assumed that many had not yet learned to write and were hard at work sorting out the oftentimes tricky relationship between nouns and verbs so they could shower us with much overdue praise.
i was wrong. nouns and verbs really aren’t that tricky. and the proof – as they say – is in the queries:
Q: “If this is a climbing blog…uh…. why isn’t there any pictures of climbing or any climbing” – Anonymous
A: dude. we don’t climb. we just TALK about climbing. this is the internet, not boulder. if you want photos and trip stories then hit up one of the colorado sites. they climb AND talk about it.
ZOMFG They get asinine bitchy email from haters too! And they use the editorial first person plural, just like us! Our heads are about to collectively explode. Time for a bike ride.
*blush*. we get the collective tingles from interweb like-ing. tingles make us reciprocate.
