School is out, do you know where your parent friends are?

Happy Saturday cringe fans! We're back once again this week for another healthy heap of second-hand embarrassment. What better way to spend your day off than to look at content that makes you feel slightly better about yourself? Cringe has existed since the dawn of the internet. Well, it has kind of always existed. But the internet revolutionized the sheer amount of cringe that is disseminated and consumed by the masses. Back in the day, you'd just have to laugh at the weird, embarrassing guy i…

The Star Trek television (and cinematic, we suppose) universe is a very special one. Somehow, creator Gene Roddenberry imagined a world - and television shows - that have always felt super progressive in regards to their both characters and storylines. From the original series, to some of the more controversial and new offerings like Star Trek: Discovery and Strange New Worlds , the stories promote tolerance, curiosity, and peace. Which is impressive given the insane scope of the universe. It's…

Ruh roh, Scooby-Doo memes

Awko-taco memes

Remember when you first heard Billy Corgan sing "The world is a vampire?" Or are you Gen Z? Either way, the Smashing Pumpkins were right when they penned the tune back in the mid-'90s. It's really quite mind-boggling how little some things have changed since the advent of the grunge era. We are still feeling doomy as hell, hating the government, and feeling frustrated by the lack of opportunities presented to us and the rest of the non-billionaire class. If any music could capture our dissatisf…

It ain't all glitz and glamor

I've gone most of my life without really knowing anyone who is involved with multi-level marketing, aka pyramid schemes. Honestly, I kind of pity some of the people who get involved with them. But save for a couple of suburban moms I know tangentially, I've been kindly spared from solicitous direct messages from boss babes about how their products - or joining their team - will change my life. Until this year. It would seem my cousin has fallen prey to the seductive lifestyle that so many MLM g…

I got in pretty late as a fan of “The Simpsons.” Like a lot of people, I grew up watching reruns, somewhat enjoying them, but mainly just watching them because they led into the “Family Guy” reruns on Fox. That was my young brain. I was way too young for the golden age of Simpsons and not quite at the point of the not-so-great modern Simpsons. It was just a somewhat entertaining show for my elementary school brain. It wasn't until my late teens that I discovered peak, golden age Simpsons. A fri…

What's the stupidest thing that you've ever heard someone say? Just last week, I got into an argument with a friend over the correct term for a bin of missing items. They were under the impression that it was “lost in found” and not “lost and found." The fact that they weren't kidding baffled me. Admittedly, I was impressed by their conviction in supporting this claim. Also that they had made it this long in their life without learning the truth. My example isn't exactly extraordinary. I'd say…

It's a lot of effort

What better way to celebrate the weekend than looking at a random assortment of funny memes? Had a hard week? Check out some memes. Feeling down in the dumps? Check out some memes. Have a ton of work to catch up on that you've been putting off? Maybe get a little bit of it done and then reward yourself with some memes throughout. I'm not going to lie and say memes will drastically improve your day, but hey? Everyone could use a bit of a pick-me-up. So with that, we've collected another few doze…

We now need to limber up before going to a concert.

Everybody has little phrases that they pick up. Even if you're not a recurring character in a popular situational comedy , you're bound to develop a catchphrase that your friends come to know you by. I am literally addicted to talking like a weirdo, and I wouldn't have it any other way. Here's a list of some of the words I use every day of my life: gorg, gorgina, diva, fierce, werk, and mama. Basically, I talk like a cartoon character. My vocabulary goes beyond an exaggerated gay lexicon. I als…

Marriage isn't always all it's cracked up to be. It's magical and wonderful if you're with the right person, but it can be devastating if you make the wrong choice. The crazy thing about it is you can rarely gauge whether someone will be a good husband or wife before you're married. There are married couples who did everything right, waited an appropriate amount of time before getting married, lived together before getting married, and still ended up getting divorced. Sometimes, you don't reali…
