Silliness is one of the most important qualities a person can have. Nobody likes someone who is super serious 99% of the time. I feel like I'm at my silliest when I'm doing childish activities . For example, my family and I saw the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in person this year. I had never really loved watching it on TV because I was more of a dog show person, but when I saw those giant balloons with my own two eyes, my inner child was freaking out. Every time I saw a new balloon peeking a…

Do you want memes ? Well, let me tell you, you're going to get them. There's nothing more annoying than going on a Facebook page to find memes and finding nothing of the sort. Sure, these public groups with thousands of followers might have some memes, but mostly they have a whole bunch of nonsense. Sorry, Karen, nobody wants to see your seasonal recipe on a meme page! Why did some teen post 30 images of their bad digital art here? Is there nowhere sacred to just look for memes anymore? Actuall…

I am not afraid of bugs , per se. I wouldn't call myself an ally to the bug community, but whenever somebody screams and hollers at the sight of a bug, I get a little annoyed. Like, come on…it's a bug. I believe the widespread fear of bugs comes from the fact that they look so much weirder than any animal in the animal kingdom. Most mammals, ugly as they may be, can look you in the eyes and make a real personal connection with you. Not bugs. Those things are closer in appearance to aliens than…

I'm sure we all wished we were born into the legendary Irwin Dynasty at some point. Imagine being the heiress to the Australia Zoo throne, spending your days wearing fantastic two-piece khaki outfits with your awesome and perfectly wholesome family. I, for one, want nothing more than to star in my wildlife documentary programming and continue on the legacy of Steve Irwin , aka The Crocodile Hunter. I would trade my boring non-regional American accent for that authentic Aussie twang in a heartbe…

Halloween is just around the corner, and you know what that means! For fans of the animal kingdom, it means it's time to find an animal costume that carefully treads the line between being a furry and being Regina from Mean Girls . When you're a kid, it's easy to dress up as a cat or a wolf without getting any slack for it. Animal costumes are available, possibly a little basic, but most of all, cute. As an adult, you have to choose between whatever hogwash Spirit Halloween has to offer or the…

The crazy thing about animals when you break it down is that they are truly just freaky little guys. It’s wild that we walk the earth with them but at the same time it just makes sense. some animals like spiders and aquatic life are the creepiest closest things we’ve got to aliens on earth

Frogs and Cranberries? It must be fall. Much like Mariah Carrey's All I Want For Christmas is You on the Billboard Top 100 Chart, this meme comes crawling back to us seasonally, and we can't get enough of it. But why? On a fundamental level, "Frogs and cranberries it must be fall" is just plain funny. Why must it be fall when these two collide, we non-frog experts ask. What about this amphibian and this fruit coming together marks the period between September 22nd and December 20th? The meme or…

Frogs are not only one of the greatest animals in the entire animal kingdom, they're also the stars of some of the most legendary memes of the 2010s. One cannot communicate with words the legendary status Pepe the frog held in 2015. There were art kids at my high school who made a giant recreation of Pepe out of tape and carried him around throughout their day. There were full-tilt custody battles over the physical manifestation of a meme in his prime. What a legend. Around the same time period…

Dr. Dolittle is one lucky dog. That man can talk to the animals, and nobody bats an eye. He has been portrayed by Rex Harrison, Eddie Murphy, and Robert Downy Jr. Clearly, when they were casting these movies, they said, “Non-legends need not apply.” Only the most advanced actors

As the world's most famous frog once said, “it's not easy being green.”

At some point, I'm sure we all wished we were born into the legendary Irwin Dynasty. Imagine being the heiress to the Australia Zoo throne, spending your days wearing fantastic two-piece khaki outfits with your awesome family. I, for one, want nothing more than to star in my wildlife documentary programming and continue on the legacy of Steve Irwin , aka The Crocodile Hunter. Unfortunately, unless your name is Bindi or Robert, that is not the life you lead. Even if you weren't born into an icon…

I'm going to let you all in on a little secret; as a child, I was a frog girl . I'm not talking about your average run-of-the-mill frog girls that seem to be sprouting on top of lily pads constantly these days. I'm talking about a ride-or-die girlie of the ribbit experience. The only Webkinz I got were frog Webkinz. I had at least two baseball caps featuring the amphibian. The Rainforest Café mascot was my idol. I'm not messing around when it comes to frogs. It can be bittersweet when one of yo…

Let's be honest. You need a laugh; I need a laugh. We all need to laugh a little bit more. We can't keep rewatching the same three seasons of Strangers With Candy until we die to get the last few giggles out of our usually unamused husks of bodies. Laughter is a force of healing, and if we don't do it enough, we're going to shrivel up and die. There are only so many 22-minute comedies you can consume in one day, especially if you are a person of the employed persuasion. Those 22-minute comedies…

Always a classic.
