If you thought the Snuggie couldn’t get any worse I’d like to introduce you to the Peekaru.

Yep, apparently it’s a Snuggie for moms.

As ridiculous as this looks, it seems oddly familiar for some reason…

Quaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiid. Free your mind.

I’ve been working as a web developer for the past 5 years. Before that, I ran a small website/business. I like to think that I know my way around. CandySmokes has been up and running for well over a year now. If you’ve been wondering how long it takes me to write a post on this site, read on for a rare behind-the-scenes look at the inner workings of CandySmokes.com.

2:16 PM Chris: it’s nice out today
2:17 PM me: yeah
Chris: man
I don’t want to go back to work tomorrow
me: i just used my bare hands and snow to clear ice and salt off my windsheild
i love this state
i am soooo behind, man
2:18 PM behind and angry
and i can’t bring myself to do any work this weekend
2:19 PM Chris: that place is just stupid right now
me: srsly
2:22 PM what’s the edit page for CS again?

2:27 PM Chris: wp-admin
2:29 PM me: thanks
2:31 PM Chris: doing a post?
2:32 PM me: yeah, but i’ve never done it via the web interface
2:33 PM i’m a little confused about my image
2:34 PM Chris: we’re all a little confused about your image
zing!
2:35 PM me: har har har
2:39 PM arg
i uploaded my image
now where is it?

Chris: it should show up after a minute…I think
2:40 PM I can’t remember
it’s been so long, haha
I’ve only ever done it on the web interfect though
*interface
if I can, you can
me: through netfirms?
or through CS?
Chris: through word press
2:41 PM me: hmm
Chris: right?
www.candysmokes.com/wp-admin
me: yeah
got it
it’s all done
i just don’t know where the image
is
2:42 PM Chris: OH
oh oh
yeah, you have to upload it to netfirms
then place the address in the wp interface
is that what you mean?
me: yep
got it
i’ll do that
dude, srsly
2:43 PM it shouldn’t be this hard to do a blog post
idiots do it ALL THE TIME
Chris: I know, it’s a pain in the ass
me: i know!
that’s why i hardly ever do it
it ends up taking 20-30 min
2:44 PM Chris: then there were the text formatting problems I was running into from copying and pasting
it has to be us
we have to be the problem here
haha
2:45 PM me: i’m srsly getting an ulcer
i’m so pissed
i logged in, now where do i upload images
Chris: haha, I lol’d
me: they changed the interface
Chris: oh really?
shit
2:46 PM me: log in once, please
and tell me where to go
i’m gonna cr
*cry
Chris: okay, see the little icon of the tree next to all the editing tools?
click that
that’s where you put in the URL of where the pic is
2:47 PM me: wait, in cS or NF?
2:48 PM evidently our CS status has “expired”, too
so that’s nice
i knew trying to post this would be a mistake
2:50 PM Chris: wait, what?
me: now i’m so angry that i just want to eat and eat and eat
that’s probably a bad sign
Chris: you…are pregnant
2:54 PM what does that mean that our status has expried, though?
me: no clue
i’m serious, man
where is it
2:55 PM i can’t find it
Chris: where is what?
me: the spot in netfirms where you can upload an image to a directory
2:56 PM Chris: I thought you already did that? hang on…
me: and every time I go to their @#$%^#$@ help section, it makes you re-login
EVERY EFFING TIME
2:57 PM in fact, you can’t even use the help section, because when you try to search for something, the “Search” button takes you to the login page
and when you log in again, you’re back at the start
try your search, and redirect
it’s like a merry-go-round
an un-merry one
2:59 PM Chris: wow
3:00 PM this is unbelievable
I have no idea where to go or what to do
alright
we’re switching hosting
3:01 PM and I don’t care if Kyle likes netfirms better than all the others or something
I hate netfirms
me: me too
Chris: and, now we can’t even post to our own blog
me: this is the absolute worst site i’ve ever seen
i can do it on the backend through Dreamweaver - it’s how i’ve always done it
but still, yeah
Chris: okay
3:02 PM so go to hosting
and then the drop down
‘file manager’
and that gets you to our folders
me: oh, it’s under Files
then file manager
wow
WOW
Chris: yeah, right
sorry
me: this is awful
3:03 PM i’m on 40+ minutes with this stupid prairie dog post
Chris: I say we just switch it all to GoDaddy
me: no GoDaddy
but we’ll figure it out
it’ll be fine
Chris: why not GoDaddy?
me: in fact, i think Kyle mentioned a different hosting place
that was cheap and good
3:04 PM Chris: Kyle thinks that netfirms is cheap and good
hahah
me: haha
no, he said he hated them a while ago
but then again, he hates everything
whatever
3:05 PM Chris: http://b2evolution.net/web-hosting/top-quality-best-webhosting.php
me: yes, I got it!
only took 45 minutes
…

What in the name of god do prairie dog holes have to do with obtaining a degree? And the giant mushroom telling you to select one? Why? WHY???

And what am I supposed to do – crawl down the hole to get one of those degrees? And what are the little piles of sandbags doing in there?

Plus, I’ve only seen prairie dogs out west, where it’s too dry for mushrooms to grow, especially gigantic ones with words on them.

Unless that underground system is perhaps for an ant colony.

I give up.

We all been wasted, pissed drunk and completely effing annihilated but have you ever been Nickerson’d? Take this test to find out!

Have you ever…

1. Gotten so drunk that you urinated in public?
2. Lost your pants while doing so?
3. Stumbled into a strangers house pantless?
4. Clothed your bottom half with an adult diaper found in the stranger’s house?
5. Passed out in that stranger’s bathroom wearing their adult diaper?
6. Been discovered by the 92-year-old home owner and arrested?

If you answered ‘yes’ to all of these questions then you may have been Nickerson’d. Yeah, we’ve all been there.
