LOL! I like that one!

I'm always the last to hear about anything, so this is probably old news, but I wasted an afternoon on tvtropes.org over the weekend. If you want every single plot device, ever, ruined for you by being revealed unto you, there you go.

That awkward family photos site just made me cry with laughter.  I keep meaning to check out that last one, but since I'm usually online at work instead of home, it's kinda hard. Will have to take a peek tonight. 
I sometimes just like reading the headlines on Fark. 

Some that are along the lines of Cake Wrecks:

I used to have more of these, including one that actually had the book I learned to knit from (and the horribly bad projects that were 30 years out of style by the time I found the book...well if they ever were in style).
 
You can't go wrong with the Gallery of Regrettable food (although it's really old):

His whole Institute of Cheer is pretty amazing, especially if you are into Mid-Century Modern design or are fascinated by things like Levittown and old motel signs:

This is how I keep up on US poltics:
http://wonkette.com/  Seriously, it's all you need.

Heh. Probably the first time James Lileks and Wonkette have been recommended in quick succession.

Yeah.Humour transcends politcal differences sometimes.

I don't know if this has been posted before, but there you go.  The funniest thing is that sometimes the ones posting the stories are the demon spawn inlaws, and you genuinely feel for the people they are "complaining" about.

I have a new one! Regretsy! It's all those awesomely bad hand-crafted things that people have a hell of a lot of nerve trying to hawk online.
