The more you know:
"...the Second of July, 1776, will be the most memorable Epocha, in the History of America. I am apt to believe it will be celebrated by succeeding Generations, as the great anniversary Festival."
- John Adams


Oh, John. If only you knew about Americans and their penchant for historical inaccuracies. In other words, happy anniversary to America. Time for fireworks, barbecue, American flag cakes, posing like a 90s Tommy Hilfiger ad, and all the other 4th of July clichés one could possibly dream of.

Is it expected for most objects to be turned red, white, or blue? In the past few days I've seen forks, chairs, and even food in those colors. At times all three at once. I was told it was in honor of this country's independence. And I was curious about how n common this tradition was. I asked a coworker and her only response was that my hair

New item at the top of my wishlist: the red and white striped shirt of one Waldo.

Residents of Potts Tower please be on the lookout for this human. Do not approach - report his presence to the nearest SHIELD agent.

Well 2013, your coffee's a joke but I like what you did with your automobiles.

Going on a jaunt next weekend. Anyone interested in Blackbeard? His treasure's for the taking off of Nova Scotia, if you like your legends vague as all hell. Some bigwig's trying to unearth the money pit over at Oak Island; it's booby-trapped and deadly when the tide comes in. Six people didn't watch their fingers and left skeletons for us to find. Should be a good weekend.

I got hired last week and was told I could bring three people. Don't know any of you, but I've gotten to be chums with Google, so if you're interested in beating feet up to Nova Scotia for a treasure-hunting holiday, I can give you the basic information and forward your stats up to my guy if I like the look of you.

Goes without saying that we don't get to take samples from our findings, so don't even think about it.

Is this real life?



Also, shittiest pun ever. I'm disappointed by just about everything this 'article' has to offer.


I guess I'm not depressed enough though! Because now I want to know if anyone else has a Jackass of the Week story to share.

OH MY GOD.

CARMEN SANDIEGO IS HERE.

Please tell me someone else used to play her game at school on the computer even though the graphics sucked and you had to use a stupid almanac to find all the answers before the henchmen came and put you in jail? Someone? ANYONE?

Honestly, can anybody in this city actually make decent Mexican food? Really, what kind of excuses do you have when this country neighbors Mexico, and that's not even discounting the fact that this is New York. You'd think I've have arrived in 1775, what with my demands for a burrito that didn't come from Taco Bell or Chipotle. (And a word to the wise: don't come here in 1775. It's a shitshow and I actually had to get a smallpox vaccination. Ugh, colonists.)

Look, I get that I could simply hit up any restaurant in Chelsea or god forbid -- a street cart, but having just flown in from Europe, I've already tired of Italian, French, and Greek. Don't even get me started on British food.

Hello, everyone. My name is Virginia Potts. I'm better known as (and answer to) the moniker that Tony gave me many years ago, Pepper.

I wanted to take a moment to welcome you all to the Refugee Network. Tony Stark - as well as many others - created the network so you would have a safe space to talk without the prying eyes of the media. I'd like to give them a warm thank you for their hard work.

Some of you have been here for a while, and as of today, the Tesseract has given us more refugees than it has in the previous five months, and it's still going. I'd like to take a moment to thank the hard-working men and women of S.H.I.E.L.D. for their diligence and perseverance. Without their quick thinking when refugees began to appear, this would have been nearly impossible for any one of us to handle.

And on that note, Director Fury has asked me to pass along the message that they are in dire need for Administrative Staff to help with processing. Anyone who is interested can pass on a note to your Housing Assistant.

Speaking of, there should be one Housing Assistant per two floors (and in one case, three floors). Should you require any assistance, they should be able to help you. Potts Tower is not a new building, but we have gutted it, given it an ARC reactor for clean energy, a full service gym in the basement, an outdoor patio and pool area, and an entertainment area. We plan to utilize all of these areas in the upcoming holiday season in the hopes that it helps alleviate some of the melancholy of being without your families.

Once again, welcome to the Refugee Network and Potts Tower, and I look forward to getting to know you.

-Virginia Potts
