Did You Know...?

...that you can cut somebody off on the road or recklessly drive around them as long as you wave?

We knew. Now you do, too.

Shmolympics

This is from a website that could be described as a parody of "The Onion". It's basically the jewish version and it's called "The Knish". This is a pretty funny article:

Do You Remember...? Cereal Box Prizes

I love eating cereal. But something really pisses me off nowadays. What happened to the prizes that come inside the cereal boxes??? The greatest part of the cereal box experience was lost! I remember my mom getting so mad at me for just opening a new box so that I could stick my hand into the bag of sticky Sugar Crisp, just to retrieve the Sugar Bear Pog and add it to my collection. The cereal companies finally got smart and placed the prizes on the outside of the plastic bag, not buried deep within the cereal. Remember those color changing spoons that came in the Trix and Fruity Pebbles boxes? Now if you want to get a prize from a cereal box you have to collect 30 paper tokens from 30 different boxes to finally get your Cuckoo Cocoa Puff alarm clock! Boy, this recession has really hit us hard. And can you please make the games on the back of the boxes a little more challenging for us 20 year olds who still eat cereal on a regular basis? I can count how many Cap'n Crunch pieces are hidden on the back of the box before I pour my milk. And don't make me go into the inside of my box to find out that I lost the contest to win a Cinnamon Toast Crunch sweepstakes. Just print it on the front of the box and kill my dreams straight away. Eating cereal just isn't as exciting anymore. Stay tuned to my article on cereal varieties and characters coming soon.

Do you remember...?


Now, I'm no longer in high school, so to me this is a good Do You Remember...? article. Do you remember actually having to use looseleaf binders in elementary and high school? Perhaps the greatest invention ever were the paper reinforcements. What genius! Except, of course, when you didn't quite match up the sticker with your rip, and then when you try pulling the sticker off, the rip tears even more. But one day, someone decided to be more of a genius and sell paper with laminated holes on the side. And this whole discussion just reminds me of those annoying kids who when asked to borrow a piece of paper would respond "Borrow a piece of paper? What are you gonna do? Return it?"I hated that kid (ok, I admit, that was sometimes me).

Old Names

My grandfather's names are Sheldon and Stanley. Who thought it was possible to have two grandfathers with the best old man names ever. Now, according to the Social Security official website, Stanley is the 568th most common name of the 2000's, and Sheldon is the 776th most popular. These names are listed behind names like Orion, Ezequiel, Deshawn, and Gilberto! I was just wondering whether my grandparents were really called Sheldon and Stanley as kids? If someone named a kid Sheldon today, it would be social suicide. That could would be the wedgie king of the world! Do you know kids or grandparents with funny names? Email us at SubbyBub@gmail.com.

Crazy things people do:

Welcome to our new feature: Crazy things people do. I was amazed when I saw this video of the National "Anvil Shooting" Champion. I never knew that anvils existed outside a road runner cartoon, but I was proven wrong:
