Picture Blocking Beer Cooler Keeps Your Face Out of Embarrassing Photos
Dec 16th
cylonlover writes “It may sound like something dreamed up by a cheesy men’s magazine as a joke, but apparently this is a real thing that actually exists.

Among the Hipsters: Part 1
Mar 1st
It’s Hipster Week on the Woot blog, whatever that’s supposed to mean.
The hipster is a bizarre social phenomenon in America today. They’re seemingly everywhere, wearing their V-neck t-shirts and sporting thick, ’70s porn mustaches, smugly leering at you from magazine covers indie music blogs confident in the knowledge that they wear clothes more vintage than yours, drink beer cheaper than you would dare, and listen to music that hasn’t even been invented yet in whatever backwater city you reside, even if it’s New York or LA. Especially New York or LA. Everyone knows the coolest of the cool congregate in places like Allegany or Madison.
Or Portland…

Disgruntled workers tell how they quit jobs
Aug 12th
On a bad day at work, during an I-can’t-take-it-any-more moment, we’ve probably fantasized about outlandish ways to quit our jobs. This week, Steven Slater, a flight attendant for JetBlue Airways, made a dramatic job exit: cursing and sliding down the plane’s emergency chute with beer in his hand. Slater’s job-quitting performance has been hailed as heroic by some people. CNN asked readers and iReporters to share their stories about quitting in a dramatic, and oftentimes unprofessional, way.

Wit beyond measure is man’s greatest treasure: My trip to WWOHP

I have to admit, my heart was racing a mile a minute when it looked like me and my boyfriend (Revy) were about to get into the gates of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. The park had been doing their “sneaky, we don’t know wheeeeen we’re going to soft open” dance for a couple of days, so we decided to take a shot. Thanks to our fellow Potter fans (as I’ve rightly named, in all the nicest intents and purposes, the Potterwatch Nerd Coalition) for keeping us in the loop. We fans gotta stick together
