Labor Day weekend online time killers
Some people live for three-day weekends. They gather up the family and head for warmer/cooler/greener/sandier environs, savoring each moment, and claiming that no matter how hot/cold/bored/itchy they are, it's a helluva lot better than work.
Then there are those who hide out in their homes, viewing a three-day weekend as just a longer time period to suffer through until all the yahoos who would normally be at work during the day clear out so you can have the world to yourself again.
If you're the second person, you'll appreciate this. Following is a list of online time killers -- web sites with no value other than hours of mindless entertainment. These should keep you amused until you can venture back out to the grocery store without having to wait in line for twenty minutes behind the woman buying forty packs of hot dog buns, two gallons of mayo and twelve cases of generic diet soda.
I Can Has Cheezburger: Pictures of cats with funny, incorrectly spelled captions. LOL!
Sexy People: I don't want to ruin the surprise for you, but I'll give you a hint: they're not.
Fail Blog: Seeing other people's failures is always comforting.
Stuff on My Cat: Stuff is literally placed onto docile cats for your amusement.
Engrish Funny: Translations from Asian languages into English that are amusing, usually because they're pretty dirty.
I Has a Hot Dog: For those who hate cats, but still like funny captions on pictures of animals.
Hot or Not: Judge people based strictly on their looks. Like you normally do, only with their blessing.
Passive Aggressive Notes: Who is the bigger douchebag? The person for whom the note is intended, or the person leaving the note?
Stuff White People Like: Pretty self-explanatory.
Good luck killing time this Labor Day weekend. Feel free to leave me your suggestions for online time wasters in the comments.

I just started my three-day weekend by looking at these sites while I'm still at work. I love the mutilated English translations. David Sedaris has a lot of examples like that in his latest book. Hopefully you've already read it.

The Onion is pure headline and story idea genius and is always good for wasting time. Also always entertaining and a good for wasting time: Vodka.
