'Koalaing' Could Be the Cutest Web Photo Trend Yet

Emerald Catron — Fri, 17 May 2013 11:31:00 +0000

Forget (if you haven't already) milking, planking, hadokening, any of those-ings that were internet fads for a hot minute. They've been replaced. They're done. Koalaing -- that's the trick o' the day. It involved clinging as tightly to a pole or tree as possible like a koala. It's pretty adorable. Check it out.

20 Awesomely Creative Business Cards You Won't Throw Out

Emerald Catron — Thu, 16 May 2013 12:10:11 +0000

We know -- business cards? Even though nearly everything is done in the digital realm, they are still a thing. A thing we usually throw in the bin straightaway. We would gladly let these cards clutter up our desk, though. They're creative enough to warrant existing, and probably actually earn their proprietors some business. Check them out below.

14 Adorable Beetles That Won't Make You Scream in Terror

Emerald Catron — Wed, 15 May 2013 12:45:21 +0000

Generally, when we think of beetles we imagine something black and vaguely menacing, slowly crawling towards our foot. GAH! It turns out, not all beetles are that way. Don’t get us wrong, a lot of them are, but some of them are super cute. Like, we might even swallow our pride and say the word [...]

Hilarious Celebrity 'Makeunders' Bring Stars Down to Our Level

Emerald Catron — Fri, 10 May 2013 11:55:54 +0000

These funny Photoshop manipulations are one better than “stars without makeup” photos. They aren’t just celebrities without makeup — they’re celebrities without stylists, personal chefs or trainers, or expensive clothes. We call it ‘Extreme Makeunder: Celebrity Edition.’ They’re all available on a Facebook page called “Planet Hiltron.” Here are a few we like. Check out [...]

21 Examples of Starbucks Employees Completely Massacring Someone's Name

Emerald Catron — Thu, 09 May 2013 12:36:32 +0000

If there's one thing we love about Starbucks, it's that they always give us a place to go to the bathroom. Aside from that, it's also always a good time when they mix up a customer's name. When a Hong Kong Starbucks employee thought a woman named Virginia was actually named Vagina, we laughed.

We figured why not keep the laughs coming and found some more Starbucks name fails. We also included what the original name is supposed to be, since it's not always entirely clear. You're welcome.

Feeling a little sleepy? Is that fifth cup o’ joe not cutting it for you today? It’s OK, these animals know how you feel. Everyone hits that mid-afternoon (or mid-morning) slump sometimes, and furballs are no exception. We’re talking about the days where yawn attacks are never-ending, and we might’ve fallen asleep at our desk for a quick sec. It happens.

If you’re anything like us, right now you’re probably mentally screaming, “WHAT? What is this?!! How have I never seen this adorable creature anymore?” Don’t feel too bad — it’s a quokka, and it lives primarily on some islands off the coast of Australia, and is currently listed as being a “vulnerable” animal.

Kyle Dowling — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 20:43:23 +0000

This Corgi Does Not Appreciate Being Dressed Up Like a Panda

Emerald Catron — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 12:30:43 +0000

Maybe it’s not okay to laugh at the misery of others, but would you just look at how much this corgi hates wearing a panda costume? It is hilarious. Usually they seem like such cute, happy dogs. This one, however, has murder in its eyes. Seriously, if we were the owner of this corgi, we’d [...]

Dogs in Pantyhose Are a Thing Now — Wait, What??

Emerald Catron — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 21:55:14 +0000

Well, the dogs don't seem particularly unhappy, so we guess this is okay. As long as dogs don't understand what dignity is, they'll probably be fine.

Owners in China have been stuffing their dogs into stocking and high heels, taking pictures of them, and putting them on the internet, because this is the world we live in now. Since you know you secretly want to see more of these, here you go:

See The Cast of 'Aliens' Then and Now

Kyle Dowling — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 21:41:19 +0000

In film, it’s rare that a sequel is as good as (or better than) the original. However ‘Aliens,’ the 1986 sequel to the 1979 hit, ‘Alien,’ managed to top its predecessor. With James Cameron behind the movie, the franchise shifted gears from sci-fi horror to action. And also Bill Paxton played (or really was subjected to) [...]

Costumes and makeup played an important and often-overlooked role in making the six 'Star Wars' movies sensational sci-fi masterpieces that, even today, nothing has really matched.

Happy birthday, Grumpy Cat! Can you believe that Tardar Sauce, the internet's least excited feline is only a year old? We figured she was like 115 in cat years.

Kyle Dowling — Wed, 03 Apr 2013 12:09:57 +0000

It also spawned three sequels — ‘Porky’s II: The Next Day,’ ‘Porky’s Revenge!’ and ‘Pimpin’ Pee Wee’ — and even featured a future A-lister in randy gym coach Kim Cattrall.

'Hadoken-ing' is the Latest Web Craze

Emerald Catron — Thu, 28 Mar 2013 21:12:39 +0000

As far as internet photo trends go, this one is certainly more fun than planking, Eastwooding or milking (don’t Google that one at work). Hadoken-ing, for lack of a better name, is a trend gaining popularity among Japanese students. Basically one person reenacts the “hadoken” attack from ‘Street Fighter,’ and everybody else plays along by [...]

Dan Seitz — Wed, 27 Mar 2013 12:00:44 +0000

No no, this is an animal photobomb, not a a regular animal bomb. It’s still one of the best things that we’ve ever seen, but it’s not what we came here to talk about. For as long as there has been humanity there has been war, and as long as there has been war, some jerk has [...]
