There are two tests out there that can quantify the amount of millennial you possess. Both state that being millennial isn’t just about age — it’s more about how you see and interact with the world. So let’s give a looksee and determine whether or not you do things ironically, have a landline phone, or somehow believe the world revolves around cupcakes. We’re not kidding. Cupcakes are somehow now synonymous with the millennial generation. Who knew? Continue reading
Does this really need to be said?
Well, yes, apparently this truly needs to be said. When did it become a thing where we take sugary, glazed pastry add meat and cheese to it, or stuffed inside it, or hell, just fire-bombed into your arteries from a doughnut cannon? Why would this ever need to be consumed? Well, because America is hell-bent on destroying itself one bursting corpuscle at a time. Continue reading

Friends. Oh, friends. They’re like family. But better! You’d think you wouldn’t have as many awkward moments, or downright horrific experiences of jaw-dropping insanity when dealing with people you’re not genetically related to. After all, you chose these people to navigate your life with. Yet, sometimes it’s your friends who need the most counsel — and you find yourself in the role of “real talk” impresario when things start getting out of hand. But we’d argue that being a good friend is being able to tell someone when their life has become the living embodiment of having one’s dress tucked into the back of their pantyhose, or licking the inside of a bathroom stall at Ruby Tuesdays. So, it’s a good thing you’re here to set them straight and let them know when they’re being “that“ friend.
Here are a few examples. Continue reading
Urgh. What’s worse than high school? A company that takes all the shallow crap that exists in high school and makes it their mantra. Enter Abercrombie & Fitch, the worst representation of a heinous John Hughesian high school villain ever re-imagined for modern day consumerism. Continue reading
If there’s anything more baffling than the lives and daily motivations of celebrities and pop stars, it’s the public response that comes when they do new things. And Beyoncé is no exception. However, we’re going to go out on a limb and say that we kind of understand the media’s inability to make up its mind about this one. Continue reading
We’ve come to the last two episodes of the nail-biter third season. We’ve seen the return to true suspense, the emergence of a real plot with consequences for the living and the dead, and re-entered the world that was once inhabited by old friends (Morgan) and broadened it to encompass a town run by an insane man, a group of hearty drifters, a katana wielding badass, the finding of a long lost brother, and the end result of turning one’s back on friends for the gain of sleeping with the enemy, literally.
It is her story we witnessed last night. Continue reading
While sitting in a restaurant on “date night” I couldn’t help shaking my head at a young couple in their twenties as they sat nearly motionless for much of their meal, both with their heads bent over their phones texting like crazy. Neither seemed to think there was anything wrong with sitting in each other’s company and texting away as if the other wasn’t there.
Is this the only way we communicate? Continue reading
Reuters is reporting State Supreme Court Justice Milton Tingling in Manhattan has ruled the new regulation put into effect by Nanny State aficionado, Michael Bloomberg as “arbitrary and capricious.” He also declared it invalid, after the American Beverage Association and other business groups sued the city challenging the ban.
