Stuff White People Like

Another week, another page worthy of the bookmark. Stuffwhitepeoplelike.com is a hilarious website (turned book) that includes ridiculous posts featuring, as it's title suggests, the stuff that white people like.

This website was featured in the power point in class this week, and after Liz had also recommended it to me I decided to check it out.

Here is my favourite post. Pay close attention to the second paragraph because I absolutely LOL'd.

My personal favourite post:

#104- Girls With Bangs

If you see a white woman and you are trying to figure out whether she is liked or just merely tolerated by white people, the best thing you can do is get a quick look at her haircut. It is a known fact that white people love women who wear their hair with bangs that hang straight down.

A number of very popular white women have worn this hairstyle including Joni Mitchell, Jane Birkin, Jenny Lewis and every girl ever photographed by Vice Magazine or the Cobrasnake. (Note: it is a good idea to familiarize yourself with these two things as they are both beloved by cool white people. Follow up note: these same things are hated by cooler white people).

Many people associate this type of haircut with children and people looking for the most efficient way to get hair out of their eyes. But for white people, this simple haircut makes a bold declaration by saying that the wearer is artistic, deep, and has probably dated a guy in a band you like. Of course, as with many things loved by white people, simple often means expensive and these haircuts usually cost upwards of $100.

It is essential for you to know this haircut is more than a mere fashion statement– it is an important cultural marking. Throughout the world, many cultures feature ceremonies to announce that a girl has become a woman. For white people, the haircut-with-bangs is an important symbol that a female has completed her transformation from a nerdy girl to a cool woman. In fact, if you went to high school with a nerdy white girl who moved to a big city, there is a good chance she will show up to your high school reunion with this haircut.

When you are introduced to a group of white people, it’s a good idea to befriend the girl with the bangs. She’s probably the most popular.

So, if you thought that post was funny, check out the whole site. Equally hilarious posts await you.

Bob's (Rob's) Thots (Thoughts)

Another friend of mine has hopped on the blogging bandwagon! Rob C's Bob's Thots is just as it says- thoughts. A random but entertaining blog. Check it.

Will LOLcats ever get old? I know my roomate Christina would think "ABSOLUTELY NOT!"
I remember when these were just exploding around a year ago but I think they are so hilarious they still deserve a post in 2009.
I was always more of a facebook LOLcat fan so have never really explored the website they came from, ICanHasCheezBurger.com. After exploring I was surprised to find so much more LOL fun! Up top there's links for LOLdogs, LOLcelebs and even my personal favourite, LookaLikes. Another helpful feature is an extensive tag secion on the right side of the homepage. It'll take you straight to the LOLanimal/human you are looking for!

Overall, some good procrastination fun. And here's a gem I found in the spirit of St. Patty's day:

Swiss Miss.

In keeping with this week's theme I have asked another friend and blogger, Smolik for one of his favourite blogs to explore. SwissMiss is a blog belonging to "a swiss designer gone nyc". The fusion of European design and the style of New York City is what makes this blog unique. Although the posts can be completely ranodm, it is this element that gives it it's style. Unique gift ideas, products, trends, can all be found here. She also makes excellent use of tags to organize her posts into categories like "kids stuff", "photography", and broader things like "made me look", and "made me smile". Enjoy;

Addictionary.org

Thanks to blogger extraordinaire, PH, I have discovered the wonders of Addictionary.org.Addictionary is essentially a wiki that allows users to upload definitions to words they create. Although it is a similar concept to Urban Dicationary, it differs in it's layout and word selection. The majority of the words on addictionary are made up by users to describe something that might not necessarily have a word to itself yet.

Addictionary also has another feature called "There Oughta Be A Word For" where users can upload definitions they believe need to be defined. Users can then interact by suggesting words for the definition provided.
Ironic challenge of the week as I was recently told to "shut up" by a woman sharing a shuttle ride to the airport with me. Guess I'm just a gabbygabber.

Twitter.

I've had a twitter account for almost 2 months now and I just have to say, I DONT GET IT! I just do not understand what the excitement is about the whole thing. Why do I need an entire website (not to mention another new account name/ password) just to update what is essentially a glorified facebook status?Even after exploring (thinking there just MUST be something more to this site) extensively there really is nothing more to it! Well, I suppose there is if you count what seems like endless numbers of pointless 'apps' designed to make posting your every move easier. I think I just dont need a whole website for what I usually post on my facebook status. After all, i'm on facebook far more times a day than I'm on twitter.

Can someone just tell me... WHAT IS THE POINT?

F... my life.

Lets start with a story:

Today, an extremely large lady came into the dry cleaners where I work. She puts what I assume is a blanket on the counter to be dry cleaned. I say "So just the one blanket then?" She replies "Those are my pants.....not a blanket." She was a size 56. FML


FML. Also known as F*** My Life. Something you might be thinking as the weeks of midterms and essays seem to be never ending. While you're stuck in Weldon cramming probably last minute because you absolutely did not bring your textbook on the plane with you to Dominican because that would absolutely put you over the luggage weight limit and therefore cause you to pay the required fee, check out F My Life. It is sure to provide you with at least one F my life story that's slightly worse than yours. And we all like to laugh at the expense of others.. right?

Yearbook Yourself.

This may be old news for some of you but at one point this school year Yearbook Yourself was the site to be on. This website produces some hilarious pictures by placing your face onto the body of a yearbook photo circa 1940-1990, complete with horrible hairstyles.
Although the site doesn't re-launch until the summer, here is a sneak preview of what you could have looked like in the 50s, or 60s, or 80s. (Thanks to Jason and Ben for unknowingly donating their pictures to my blog.)

Hilarious. Get on that Summer 09.

This is why you're fat.

It has become common knowledge that obesity levels in North America have escalated over the past years. Although this is a sad fact as it causes the rate of diabetes, heart disease, and a slew of other health problems to increase as well, some fun can surely come out of it.Alas: ThisIsWhyYoureFat.com. A blog whose posts are dedicated to showcasing the disgusting concoctions that some consider 'treats'. Although I must admit some seem rather delicious (deep fried oreos), some are just plain disgusting!

Take a gander at this is why you're fat and you may find yourself on an unintentional diet..

FAIL BLOG

A blog dedicated to showcasing those who fail. Need I say more?
