WatchI happened to think this Digital Short was really funny. The problem is none of my friends agree with me. Am I crazy for liking this one? I don’t think so and here’s why.
They mimics reggae music and lyrics pretty well which, in itself isn’t funny, but…
There are actual jokes in this one! Unlike some recent Digital Shorts that just seem to be Andy Samberg acting a...
Guy Fieri REVEALED!
I mentioned a few weeks ago that I am a huge Guy Fieri fan. Well, one fine reader of this website actually got to spend time with Mr. Frosted Tips himself and sent back this information about the man with the arm band.
He is easily one of the nicest “celebrities” out there. He was always taking time to sign autographs and talking to fans of his. I can see why you like him.
I have...
Earth's Newsfeed This Week →
Another winner from Suze and Rosie. Digg it.
The Birthplaces of Ten Great American Foods →
An article I did a while back for Mental Floss got re-posted today. It reminded me how perfect this article was for me to write. My two great loves: history and food. Help the cause if you like it too.
Roots Remix Contest →
My friend Dan’s music website, IndabaMusic, is having a great remix contest. If you’re musically inclined you should enter. The grand prize is a chance to record a song with The Roots.
"The Lady's Halloween Costume Idea Generator" →
rickyv:
Every answer it spits out is “sexy cat,” unless you check that your body type is “overweight.” In that case, it just spits out “cat.”
I toyed with the idea of building a helpful costume idea generator but then I remembered that it wouldn’t matter. Girls were just going to go as sexy cats anyway. Or regular cats if they’re overweight.
WhiredWhine
Wired gave WhiteWhine a nice shout out in its playlist section. Thanks, Wired! I’m rich!
Like the sardonic, self-hating cousin of the already sardonic and self-hating Stuff White People Like, White Whine is a daily blog that airs the absurd gripes of the down-but-far-from-out (upper-middle-class vanilla beans). Wired faves include numbers 268: “Um, it’s Tuesday and the This...
"Most Popular Items On 6 Internet Sites" →
rickyv:
This article made me consider the effect of Osama Bin Laden actually endorsing either Obama or McCain within the next two weeks. Talk about suddenly changing everything!
This article made me think about if there have ever been multiple nip slips at the same party.
Ricky and I are different people…

The Earth's Facebook News Feed →
rickyv:
This is a new weekly feature on CollegeHumor. I love the idea.
Favorite line from this edition: George W. Bush removed “Giving A Fuck” from his interests.
I too am excited about this. We’re going to switch it up week to week as well, so we don’t burn out on Facebook News Feed articles. The kids really came through on this one.
Viral Video Quiz →
I stayed home from work one day and wrote this whole thing. I just sat there drinking cofffee and chain smoking. Hopefully the physical toll it took on my body will be worth a few minutes of your time. Digg it if you like it.
The Onion Historical Archives 1783 →
If you’re like me and you enjoy history, then you’ll love the latest edition of The Onion, printed to look like an edition of the paper from 1783. They really nailed it. Everything, from the tone to the spelling to the subject (“New York Threatened by Oe’r-Crowding as Population Climbs to Twelve Thousands”), is perfect.
WatchI’m in this! Horray!
I thought this script was particularly funny. I hope we lived up to its promise.
Bad Habit Alert
I realized tonight that I have another bad habit to add to my growing list (smoking, rarely flossing, etc.). I play with my keys in my pocket which is all well and good until I realized it probably looks like I’m squeezing off from a distance. I wonder how many times people I’m with have thought that I was wrenching my penis around when I was really just messing with my keys, or vice...

Why I Sometimes Hate The Internet
The Internet is pretty fun, but every now and then it gets me really irritated. Take today, for example.
Jason Michaels, one of my favorite CH contributors, had a great idea the other day. CH Intern, Owen, and I worked ovetime to get it illustrated and posted to the site in time for the overnight spot. It did well on the site, but failed to make the front page of Digg. Oh well, right?
But...
