1. »  SRSLY PHENOMENAL: An Investigation Into The Appeal Of LOLCATS

    We love LOLCats in Rochester. It’s no secret. So this chick in London decided to find out why people (like ourselves) are so obsessed with them and write her masters dissertation on LOLCats and other internet memes. Sounds like an A+ paper to me!

    It’s always breathtaking to watch a large animal be so graceful.  I was at the Seneca Park Zoo for the announcement of what county officials say is the first ever artificial insemination of a polar bear.  I hope she’s pregnant.

  3. April is almost over, so the once boy band obsessed (or still boy band obsessed…) ladies of the office felt this JT meme was completely and 100% needed today. If you don’t get it, PUHLEAAASE do yourself a favor and watch this music video. And yes, we’re judging if you had to watch the video to understand how amazing this meme is.

  5. pump the breaks. Starbucks has a secret menu?!? THIS IS EARTH SHATTERING! i understand that the point of a secret menu is that only some people know about it and it makes people feel all VIP and everything, but c’mon. these drinks sound delish and should be shared with the world! i can tell you right now that the next time i walk into a Starbucks, i’m going to order a super secret drink concoction purely so someone can say “um, that’s not on the menu!” and i can quickly whip out a copy of the secret menu for proof.

  6. That Can Be My Next Tweet!

    Every once and a while, you come across a silly site that you can’t get enough of. Well this is one of those sites. Enter “That can be my next tweet!” - the blog that mashes together pieces of your previous tweets to make some REALLY ridiculous new tweets. They may not make complete sense, but they are certainly worth a laugh.

    • Ugh! i’m actually obsessed w/ The Grand Finale! Ryan Gosling In ‘Walt’: The water in his abs at the feed?
    • One of the power of singing “Baby” while brushing almost won out, but Drake looked too dapper to a great?
    • Omg stop. is being rude and demanded that i woke up with instagram boom roasted, valentines day. boom.
    • Want to make me and yours went to become my Starbucks Frappucino and Google Chrome story-telling!

    • I’m at the bat signal? Nope just plan on staying up with happy hour to win sweepstakes from on ebay - 1?

The office split into two teams - one cooking a gourmet grilled cheese and tomato soup dinner on Tuesday night and the other cooking a hearty pancake breakfast on Wednesday morning. Check out the Texties in action above! Hey, if our PR careers don’t work out for us, I think it’s safe to say we would all be welcome into any local diner as a line cook :)
