27b/6

My boyfriend turned me onto David Thorne's site, 27b/6, and I can't get enough.

How do you make a David Thorne? Take Nick Hornby, add some David Sedaris overtones, maybe a little John Kirby, and a pinch of Jim Halpert. Voila, my new favorite site. He rags on his office mates, ponders what it would be like to be a space commander or to own a monkey and endlessly disses his friend Lucius for his unicorn hair*:

* note the creepy unicorn decorations behind said friend.

My favorite articles feature Thorne's purposefully uncomfortable responses to people's emails or notes. One of the all time best were the series of emails sent after he refused to pay an outstanding fee, and wanted instead to pay using a drawing he made of a spider. Obviously, the company refused the drawing as a payment, so he has refused to pay as well. You can see how the story has strangely unfolded into an eBay bid for the drawing here.
