Wisconsin village reclaims its idiot
Photo by Jemima G
A village in rural Wisconsin has finally won a four-year long legal battle to have their idiot returned to them. To make him feel at home they have had a plastic farmhouse erected with lots of crayons in the drawers. They have also spent out on a toy push-along tractor in bright fun colours.
“I am really excited about mowing fields. Next year, I want to plant an acre of corn. Or an acre of something[…]” quoth the idiot in question, amongst reassuring nods and cooing sounds.
For some of the more insightful statements of the man, this site is fast becoming one of our favourite sources of random anti-wisdom.
A perfect example of something that sounds like it might be clever but means nothing whatsoever can be found here. Don’t go changing to try and please us, Jason Fried. We love you just the way you are.
Jason Fried self-declared best person in the universe ever

It is possible, dear reader, that you may not have realised the messianic incredibleness Jason Fried represents. We were certainly unaware of this, but his tweets have demonstrated that without question Fried is the gauge against which all others should be measured. Some examples of Fried’s effortless genius:
- “When you stand for something, decisions are obvious.”
- “Cool wears off, useful never does.”
- “Let’s just call plans what they are: Guesses.
- “The “Real World” (as in “this won’t work in the real world”) isn’t a place, it’s an excuse.”
TheTAPIR’s unquestionable source states that Fried walks around the 37signals’ offices with a platinum halo of his own devising that bolts onto the neck of his shirt, whilst issuing prophetic statements with no content. “The man is like a fucking walking fortune cookie” our source plainly stated.
A statement from a video of Fried at Big Omaha 2009 carries the strongest affirmation of Fried’s clear and concise focus.
“We don’t have a plan. I don’t know what we’re doing.”
