I make multi-million $ decisions on a regular basis -- why is it soooo difficult to decide what to do with my hair?

The other two just make me want punch those dudes in the face. This one makes me want to punch this dude in the face, then build a time machine and travel back in time and punch him in the face again when he was 6. ::)

The hair one reminds me of one of the best lines in movie history:

This is cool enough that I went to the website to try and find it. After a few pages of manual searching I found your original tweet but there's no way to see who responded to it, oops! Everyone tells me that Twitter is awesome if you don't use the website but /maybe they should fix the website/. in the meantime I am going to stick to communications mediums where two people can talk at each other in a "conversation"

eventually I used google to find the Twitter search page (which is not linked from the main twitter homepage) and from there I was able to use Advanced Search to find twitters addressed to cormacaroni. after scrolling through the first 2 dozen or so I found out his reply which was

"answer: we intend you to do both"

and while that's cool the man himself sent you a message it sure took me like 5 minutes of manual searching to find that sentence which was, no offense meant, not exactly earth-shattering in its content

I am sorry to be so continually bitter but, I mean, how can it be so hard for me to find out what transpired between you two /even knowing the conversation took place/?!

the link you pasted also doesn't do anything (note the lack of identifying information in the URL)
