One last gift

Absolutely disgraceful.

Happy Sunday, brothers in Christ. For many of us, the day is merely a last moment of respite before yet another harrowing week of being moderately productive members of society. For other, more holy people, this is a day of worship in addition to a day of rest. The latter crew might be hitting up a megachurch, a quaint chapel, or watching worship on the television. But we'd wager that many Christians these days have something in common with non-believers: a love of humor - and memes. While it m…

I love memes . There, I said it. Few people these days are proud to admit they are memeheads, but I'm surely not one of them. I live and breathe memes. From the moment I wake up to when my head hits the pillow, memes are like sugarplums dancing through my head. I don't opt for more intelligent ways to get my laughs. Give me silly little memes, and give them to me now. Then again, few people are as lucky as I am. Not a lot of y'all can say that you work in the meme industry. If you're feeling a…

He truly recognizes the gravity of what he's been gifted, as he should.

Stereotypes about husbands and wives aren't always true, but they exist for a reason. And one couple's quarrel over a cookie-baking Christmas tradition could definitely be used to prove the validity of certain stereotypes about men and women. u/wirnei339oe3jrj left it up to r/AmItheAsshole to decide whether or not he was in the wrong for “upstaging” his wife by being a more efficient cookie-baker. Though most voted that OP was technically “NTA,” many sympathized with OP's wife on an emotional l…

What does it mean to be funny? I have been told I'm funny on occasion. Whenever I say a little quip or joke socially, it tends to get a laugh. I may or may not have devoted the last six years of my life to doing comedy and trying to be the funniest person I can possibly be. But does that all mean that I'm funny? It's a very subjective thing. One person might think I'm literally the funniest person alive, and another might think that I couldn't be more unfunny . Comedy is not objective, and that…

These kids are going to need years of therapy

Hmm

Howdy, and hey, parents! I hope you're having a good post-holidays week with your kids. I'm sure there's lots of playing with toys and hanging around going on, which sounds splendid. Luckily for y'all, the difficult part of the holidays is over! Now, all you have to do is put up with your kids for the next week or so before they head back to school. Piece of cake , right? Even if your holidays didn't go exactly how you planned, they could always go worse. You could be that mom who filmed her to…

Greetings, internet friends. Hope the bizarre limbo between Christmas and New Year's Day is treating you well. For many of us, it feels like a blur. A calorie-laden, lazy, and hopefully comfortable blur. While it's a blur for me, too, it's like one percent as chaotic as the actual holidays we were celebrating a few days ago. My parents' home was filled with dogs - large dogs, barking dogs , and one of them was a puppy. Between the chaotic canines, and my family's love of talking over one anothe…

)Today, which is Tuesday, doesn't really feel like a Tuesday. Sure, the calendar insists that we're existing during the worst day of the week, but our bodies don't feel it. But this is normal during the holidays, especially during the week between Christmas and New Year's day . In fact, while doing our weekly duty of collecting Lord of the Rings memes for our Tolkien Tuesday gallery, we saw a meme that really sums it all up by comparing this murky limbo to whatever the hell Gandalf was up to wh…

As purveyors of entertainment media, we know it can be a hustle to churn out timely, holiday-related content around the end of the year. Finding content that has to do with Christmas, Hannukah, Kwanzaa, or even peoples' contempt for the holidays can be tough especially when we're working abbreviated schedules. It's only natural that some well-meaning people would manage to muck this up, and it seems that one television news channel has won 2022's award for “Best Seasonal Fail of the Year". Twit…

Happy Boxing Day, or, "Day of Fatness and Dehydration" as we like to call it. It was a pretty meh weekend, but as my mom says we're pretty lucky. While we stayed inside during the 6-degree cold snap in the Northeast, people a mere 50 miles away from us were without heat or power, and some even froze to death. So it's best to count our blessings. Fortunately (or unfortunately) for us counting our miniscule blessings doesn't take very much time, which leaves a pretty big void to fill with some so…

It's a miracle that you're reading this list. It has nothing to do with you, dear reader. It has to do with the fact that I have no concept of what day it is, I'm bloated from holiday feasting, and pretty sure I'm still fighting a 3 day hangover from trying to drink away the pain of being with family. The period between Christmas and New Years is famous for its murkiness. One day can feel like three. We melt into our couches, filled with the scraps of that turkey, ham, or (perhaps) a tofu roast…
