As we always do, we ... http://listicles.thelmagazine.com/2009/11/12-movies-set-on-military-bases/ So it's starting to get really cold and legitimately winter-y, and our spider-senses tell us it's time to start the winter rituals: bears hibernate, elderly New Yorkers migrate to Florida, and we all wear fake tans every day for about six months. Seriously, it's about the only way we've found to ... http://listicles.thelmagazine.com/2009/11/25-people-with-terrible-fake-tans/ The celebration FAIL is possibly the most embarrassing if it's happening to you, and often the most satisfying if you're a spectator, because what's better than watching obnoxious victors get some swift comeupance?
