Somersault

Okay. So. Web comics. Some are strange, I know. But some are actually really funny and not quite as nerdy. Personally, I don't get the jokes in the nerdier web comics, but the other ones I found have been actually quite funny. You can waste hours and hours reading all these comics. Which is exactly what you need when you're bored, which is also the whole point of this blog. Just click on the name of the comic to go to the site and read more.
So here you go- the funniest (un nerdy) web comics around!

Cyanide and Happiness
Good ol' C&H. You love them, I love them, everyone loves them.

The Invisible Hair Suit
Abstruse Goose
Pretty much a black and white comic, but it makes up for the lack of color.

Have you ever seen someone and been like "oh my gawdddd...I want to be bffs with themmm!"? Well I bet you have. If you haven't then, you are lying to yourself and to me and that is just mean.
So I have compiled a list of the most awesome people in the world that would be awesome to be best friends with. Maybe one day I will meet them...

1. Nick Kosir (the rapping weatherman)
If you have heard of Nick Kosir, chances are that you only know him as the rapping weatherman. Yes, I said rapping weatherman. Nick raps the weather during FOX 4's morning show "Good Day" in Texas.
So you think that sounds dumb? Well I'm sure you probably sound dumb to Nick Kosir too.
Watching other YouTube videos of Nick, one can find that he is actually the most entertaining weatherman I've ever seen (maybe even better than Al?).
What you don't know about him is that he started as a FM DJ where he won two national awards. Now he raps the weather and has a wife and a kid.

3. Andy Samberg
Oh Andy Samberg. What a good guy to have around. Especially if you need to come up with a clever/funny song because your life depends on it. Or if you just want to listen to his jokes. And he can cheer you up by making one of his funny faces. You'd never be sad again.
Andy joined SNL in 2005 and is a member of the Lonely Island comedy group. Watch their videos. Do it. But I'm sure you probably already have. So watch them again!






4. Queen Elizabeth II
She gets to wear a crown. And live in multiple castles. You'd want to be friends with her too. We could have lunch in Windsor and afternoon tea in Buckingham. She's also very old (born in 1926) so she has many, many stories. She's known many US presidents and has lived through many wars.
What you might have not realized, is that she is not just the queen of England, but the queen of the rest of the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Jamaica, Barbados, the Bahamas, Grenada, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Belize, Antigua and Barbuda, and Saint Kitts and Nevis. However, she doesn't have that much power in these countries, as her role is mainly ceremonial.
She got to grow up as a princess, which really is ever girl's dream. Not to mention that she looks like she would be the cutest, nicest grandmother figure ever.

5. Elliot Tiber
Now, you probably do not know who this man is, unless you have seen the movie/ read the book "Taking Woodstock." The story begins with a homeless music festival and a need for money. After the festival was kicked out of their original spot, Elliot volunteered his town of Bethel, NY. He was going to have the festival at his family's motel, but it was too small, so the festival ended up being on a dairy farm. After Woodstock, Elliot went to LA and became an artist and a screen writer. Personally, I think Woodstock would have been awesome to go to and I would love to hear stories of someone who actually worked behind the scenes and who attended it. Sure he's kind of old and creepy looking now, but he'd still be cool.


7. Adam Levine
So basically, as my best friend, Adam could serenade me with songs he wrote about our friendship and his cool tattoos. What more could one want?

6. James Franco

So. While searching through Amazon.com, I came across a fellow who had expensive and classy taste. And when I say expensive, I mean expensive. His name: Eric Mananimal. Oh and this classy man from Washington is most definitely a "mananimal"
Please, do not confuse Eric Mananimal with Humanimal. Humanimal is a crazy man who dresses up in body paint and makes himself look like an animal. Come on, Eric Mananimal is way more classy than that. Though, Humanimal is pretty brawny and built... if you can get past the fact that he is currently dressed as a dog.

But anyway, so let's take a look at the items Mr. Eric Mananimal has purchased and commented on on Amazon.
Ok, ok. Ukulele. Earrings. Necklace. Not bad. Pretty normal...

$ 937,040.00 DIAMOND! ONLY TWO FREAKING STARS!
$91,917.82 WATCH! ONLY THREE STARS?!
and shoes. eh. old man's shoes.
Oh Mr. Mananimal.

Let's now take a closer look at his ratings.

The diamond. If you cannot read the picture below, then I will read it for you: "This diamond is ok. It's pretty big but c'mon amazon. I have amazon prime so I get free shipping but how am I supposed to get this thing gift wrapped? I have a personal rule, no diamonds under $500k go in gift bags. What am I supposed to do? Buy a paper and wrap it in the funny pages? I don't even know how to do that. I would buy this diamond again and again if I could have it gift wrapped but as it is now? no thanks."

Then Jason Pruitt says "Yeah, I agree, I bought myself a grill consisting of nothing but this diamond...the only cheap point I see in the diamond though- is the fact that it comes in the form on 8 one carat diamonds taped together. come on amazon...fix this."

Then Kathryn Jewell Shaw says "I completely agree. Just because I bought 8 of them for my wife doesn't hide the fact that no gift wrap makes for a cheap gift. Very, very disappointed."

What about the watch? It certainly wasn't up to the Mananimal's standards.

Mananimal: "Pros: It looks neat, the band is comfortable and it keeps time almost as accurately as my cell phone. Cons: no calculator. All in all, I prefer my Casio calculator watch, but this one is good too."

JPV responds: "Actually, you'll be disappointed: Your cell phone keeps better time than this watch. However, that's not why one buys a watch like this, is it?"

What could ever please Eric Mananimal? Is anything worthy of his five star vote?!

Why yes. Yes there is. Naturally, Mananimal would give a tiger t-shirt he purchased a five star rating. I told you he had classy taste.

So I will leave you with the question that is on everybody's mind: Eric Mananimal, who are you?!

Phobia of the Day: Scopophobia – fear of being looked at or stared at.

Fact of the Day: Adolf Hitler was Time Magazine’s Man of the Year for 1938.

So if you are a girl, I know you like to think about weddings. I don't mean marriage, I mean the wedding itself. Don't lie. You do it. Even if you have no desire to get married, you want that party. You want the dress. You want the gifts. You like to look up wedding dresses online. I know you do. Stop lying. You might even sit in wedding dresses on your couch and watch movies with your friends and eat popcorn. No big deal. We all do it.
So for this post I have found the best wedding websites, photos, themes, and so on for you to browse though and enjoy!
If you are a guy reading this and you aren't into weddings, here's a picture of a motorcycle. Those are manly, right?
Now onto the weddings...


Amy and Jesse had a carnival themed wedding. Normally I'd be like uhh...but it actually looked very tasteful and fun!
Most of the people there had tattoos, which made everything look so colorful and fun.
They had their wedding photos done by Red Heart Photography.
To see all of Amy and Jesse's pictures, you can go to Red Heart's website: redheartphoto.com.





Peacock. Feathers. Wedding. Excited yet? Because you should be. Kristi and Anthony's wedding incorporated feathers into everything. Not to mention her dress was beautiful. Her bridesmaids' dresses were pretty cool looking and went really well with the rest of her wedding.
The wedding photography was done by Christine Chang Photography and might I say, they are some of the most artsy, beautiful pictures ever.
You can see all of Kristi and Anthony's photos on this blog: ChristineChangPhoto.blogspot.



I have to say though, my favorite of all of the wedding photos I've seen aren't wedding photos at all. They are engagement pictures. Up themed engagement pictures. I know. The. Cutest. Thing. Ever.
If you go to weddingchicks.com you can see a whole page about the story and the pictures. Sooooo cute.
And if you want to look at more of Wildflowers Photography's (the photographer of the Up couple), you can go to their website at http://www.wildflowersphotos.com/.




The best dress award goes to Anneka. Both of the dresses in her pictures are amazing. Anneka and Patrick got married in Hollywood during the winter. But seriously, her dresses. Beautiful. Apparently she got her dresses online from a site called unique-vintage.com. Check it out.
You can see all of their pictures on the photographer's blog at jessicaclair.net.



The best vintage/ indie wedding goes to Hollin and Eric. They wore vintage clothes and got married in a forest. Unfortunately, the website didn't allow me to save one of the pictures, so you're just going to have to go to the photographer's site to check them out! Ben Blood, the photographer, took beautiful beautiful pictures of the wedding. You can check out his work and this wedding at benblood.com.

If you like to just look at wedding dresses online and day dream about trying them on, then you can look at this website: http://clairepettibone.com/bridal/
And finally, if you just want to look millions of different wedding pictures, ideas, themes, etc. check out inspiredbythis.com.

You can see the cutest, and longest, wedding invitation here.

Also, if you're tired of seeing good weddings, you can see the worst weddings at tackyweddings.com. Some of them are really, really bad.



Phobia of the Day: Gynophobia – fear of women

Fact of the Day: Koalas never drink in nature. They get all the moisture they need from the leaves they eat.

So you have probably typed a question into Google and clicked on some Yahoo Question's link and read about someone who is having the same problem as you. I know I have. Sometimes people can actually help you. Must most of the time they are just really, really stupid. And it's funny to laugh at stupid people. So I am naming today "Appreciate How Dumb People Are" Day. What a wonderful holiday. I'm sure if you took your time, looked out your window, and really paid attention, you could see someone doing something stupid. So to celebrate AHDPD Day,
here are a bunch of instances of people being idiots.

Viral Video: Crazy Neighbors

Phobia of the Day: Tokophobia – fear of childbirth

Fact of the Day: In the early days of fire fighting, the Dalmatian served an important purpose. They not only made good watchdogs, they also formed very close bonds with the station horses and kept them company.

1. The Who-Are-You-And-Why-Are-You-So-Dramatic-And-Annoying Group: Consists of mainly people like Paris Hilton, the Kardashians, and all the reality TV people (like the people who have those dating shows on VH1--seriously, who are you?)
2. The Once-Loved-Now-Crazy Group: You know who they are...Britney, Tom, Lindsey....
3. The Forever-Loved Group: Those celebrities that will forever be loved no matter what they do, even after their death. Examples are Morgan Freeman, Marylin Monroe, Johnny Depp, and Heath Ledger.
4. The Almost-Forgotten Group: These include all the celebrities that you forget about until they come out in a new movie. They are perfectly fine, and you like them, but they aren't as memorable as the Forever-Loved group. This includes a lot of the people in TV shows and people from old movies that you haven't watched in forever.

So here are some funny pictures of celebrities that everyone loves.

Bret and Jemaine

Carrie Fisher and Peter Mayhew

Zach Braff

Phobia of the Day: Heliophobia – fear of sunlight

Fact of the Day: The word “pie” can be traced to the 13th century, but in the old days, the dessert was more commonly known as a “coffin” or “coffyn.” In fact, “coffin” was used in this context for 300 years before it was applied to a burial casket.

Ever need a good picture of a person for something?
Or do you just want to explore the realm of good photography?
I've compiled a list of some of the best photographers who specialize in photographs of people.
