YouTube History
Ladies and Gentlemen, I just became the first person in YouTube history to NOT click "Skip Ad".
Watched the whole ad.
And I actually lol'd.
Here's the ad in question (NSFW):
By the way, I hope there wasn't an ad before this ad. If there was, I'm sorry, and hope it was worth your time. Here's some pizza-porn to make up for it:

This is why I love dating an English Teacher
Spell-check and Autocorrect have made it way too easy for us to get away with butchering the English language on a daily basis.
This is from a 16-year-old High School Student's English essay, currently being graded by my girlfriend, her teacher. The essay is about school dress-codes...

Wicked lame.
Hot 96.9's Facebook page just shared this video, a promo for A&E's newest reality show, "Southie Rules".
And I'm a little concerned.
It's not that I worry for how Boston will be portrayed to the rest of the country... We've already strayed too far from having a salvageable national reputation.
Nor am I concerned about their use of the word "wicked". As a lifelong resident of the Boston area, I can confirm that they are indeed using it in the proper context.
It's more personal than that. Arguably selfish. I'm worried that when I continue to use the word "wicked" in my everyday life (as I have since childhood), I'll look like a total douchebag.
See-- If I were to go to New York City today, and ask a random stranger, "Excuse me, Broadway Street is wicked long, how do I find where the hit musical 'Wicked' is playing?", they would probably respond with "OH COOL! You said 'wicked!' You must be from Boston!" Of course, I'd then tip my scally-cap and start a "Yankees Suck" chant through my Sam Adams-soaked beard before confirming, "Why yes, I am!"
NOT ANYMORE.
After the show premiers tonight on A&E, the conversation will go more like this...
"Excuse me, Broadway Street is wicked long--"
"UGHH you watch that awful show? I'm judging you so hard right now. You probably also think Pauly D is a legitimate DJ."
For the record, I don't.

Greatest Photobomb of All Time?
At first I thought the term "photobombing" needed explaining, but this picture sums it up pretty well:
The reason I bring up photobombing is because I think this kid may have perfected it. This picture has been floating around for a while, but it's resurfaced this morning, and for good reason:
This kid deserves recognition for winning the internet.
And while we're at it, I might as well share a photobomb of my own from a party two summers ago:
To this day, I still don't know how I got my face to look like that Muppet...
