In bad taste

Some people wear a sexy outfit to get attention or be memorable in social situations. Others bring a special drink to share, a party game, or some of their "famous" 7-layer dip. How the hell is every 7-layer dip "famous"?? Anyway. Those methods are all well and good, but if you really want to make an impression, sharing disturbing, unsettling , or weird facts is the ultimate tactic. Learning those facts and really honing their delivery isn't hard. Especially when you have these Skeletor Facts a…

I was never a person of the horse girl experience. That might come as a surprise because I grew up in Texas and everybody know that kids in Texas ride horses and cattle to school. But alas, I could never muster the earnestness and sensitivity that lives inside the heart of every horse girl. Horse girls are a social category that extends through the generations. Every one of us, no matter our age, definitely went to elementary school with a girl who loved horses and could not properly socialize…

Lots of parents like to brag about how smart their children are. These parents are all over Twitter, spouting dubious claims about their children's intelligence, their IQs, and even jotting down full quotes to impress netizens with their offspring. One of the best examples has got to be the one from @hinxminx, which before its deletion, read as follows: “'Everyone dies one day. Everyone. Even wolves. But not books. Not words. Words don't die.” - my son, 3, who is a lot smarter than I am ' Prett…

As far as I can remember, I was a pretty easy kid to parent. All I wanted to do was to do good by the adults in my life, which, shockingly, doesn't make me the most rebellious kid. There are always exceptions to the “easy child” rule, and mine was during Christmastime of my 4th-grade year. I was hearing some rumblings at school about the realness of certain Christmas icons. I felt so angry at these rumors that I went to my dad several times and said, “everyone at school says Santa isn't real, b…

Every battery needs to recharge sometimes.

A fine revenge

Life often feels like an arduous endeavor, even when it's trying to be easy. We humans are so adaptable that even when the worst situations batter us with cruelty, the pain has a way of becoming normalized. That said, it can really go both ways. Even the smallest annoyances can feel like apocalyptic occurrences if you're fed up enough. In times like these, when your patience has been worn thin, and you feel like there's nowhere to turn, It's good to turn to relatable memes instead of allowing t…

You love being a parent... But sometimes you need to hide in a closet and doom scroll through memes for a few minutes.

We like a good clean meme as much as the next person. Simple and relatable ? Sign us up. If we're being honest, however, there's something about a spicy meme - be it raunchy or simply offensive - that really gets our proverbial rocks off. And if the naughty memes have to do with one of our obsessions? Even better. As many of you (if not all of you) are well aware, we're huge fans of The Lord of the Rings books and movies, and the memes that they inspire. So when we came across a meme page that…

The phenomenon of incels taking to the internet to air out their unhinged frustration toward women is nothing new. At this point in time, it's pretty much expected. It feels as though there's always some dude lurking behind a Twitter or Reddit corner, waiting to explain some intellectual subject to a woman who a) doesn't know who this dude is and b) really, really doesn't want to hear it. It's often under the guise of connection. And it usually results in rejection. And sometimes, after being r…

Press 'X' to meme

There's a reason people crave and dream about bread. Well, there's actually a bunch of reasons. Obviously the carby, comforting food tastes good. It's also versatile: bread can be enjoyed on its own, with a meal, and as a sandwich. You can make it into french toast, or into an indulgent, sweet bread pudding. There are also so many kinds of bread. Every culture has its go-tos. There's pita, lavash, roti, poori, paratha, boules, semolina loaves, tortillas and petite dinner rolls. You can cop brea…

Crazy times

"Put some mistletoe on my butt and kiss it!"

I doubt that fish sticks, or (as the Brits refer to them) fish fingers are considered a delicacy anywhere in the world. The flaccid food reminds me of sad nights growing up with a mom who hated cooking. Paired with a glass of whole milk, fish sticks are the stuff of my epicurean nightmares. In some places, however, a fish finger is begging to be lovingly placed in a sandwich and enjoyed as comfort food. Okay, some places = England. While the United Kingdom may not be known for imaginative cuisi…
