Old but gold and also weird. Last year a facebook post of this strange conversation featured an apparently very defensive James Barrett's wife taking over JB's facebook account to deliver a prickly message to someone whose only crime was planning to draw vegetables. Anyway the lack of context, unbridled aggression and overt weirdness caused it to be shared thousands of times. Plus, it spawned a bunch of memes. It became the viral sensation known as "James Barret's Wife"

This is just so goddamn weird. We've all had awkward meetings before but the level of BS going on makes it almost hard to breath. You can tell he's trying, but everything about the situation is so unnatural that no one is really sure of where to go with it. Someone, take an improv class.
Actors, athletes and artists get a buttload of attention, but some of the best stories about them are when they don't. Sometimes these people didn't even know they were talking to a celebrity. Did you know Ben Affleck is into StarCraft? For some stranger celebrity encounters, check these out.
This one was doomed for an irrational meltdown from the onset. Freeloaders have a tendency to emotionally implode when money comes into the mix. No time like the present for that reality check though. Can't put a price on how necessary that is!
It started with a post about all the strange and dumb ways people create facebook events to make fun of a peculiar art installation in Chicago casually referred to as "The Bean." It ended with a tale of millionaires, artist drama, backstabbing, and the fight over the least reflective substance in the world.
Coachella has released their lineup for this year, and twitter was there with their response. People thought up some pretty interesting and specific acts. Not much of a Coachella person, but would pay to see Sandra Bullock in a blindfold, just kinda wandering around.
Thomas Romain is an animation artist who lives in Tokyo. He takes his sons drawings as inspiration and translates them into his own art style. Prepare to be jealous that your dad never adapted your own inventive childhood doodles into professional-level artwork.

Kind of completely unbelievable these people fell for the prank at hand, but hey, who knows.
This artist is the James Fridman (Photoshop Trolling Lord, see here) of trolling choosey beggars with sh*tty sketches. Sometimes you just gotta deal out those reality checks for free. These people got the responses they never asked nor paid for, but absolutely needed. Can't put a price on an A+ troll.
We lost a legend on Friday. RIP, Anthony Bourdain. It is soul-stirring stories like these that effortlessly spotlight the man's profound ability to emotionally connect with people in mere passing. His voice touched millions, and we were all lucky to share a planet with him.
Super creep/potential stalker? This one had a strange and unnerving vibe from the start: creepy dude of the hour asks the artist where she lives (like exactly where in Canada), and that segues smoothly into the artist letting him know she doesn't give those kind of details out because of previous problems with a stalker. Naturally, the convo only escalates with further levels of cringe and creepiness from there...
