By now, hopefully, you know all about the Three Wolf Moon T-shirt meme (if not, watch this), and if so then you’ll know just how parody-friendly this particular meme is. So much so, in fact, that alternate versions of the original shirt have popped up all over, leading the web culture experts at Urlesque to [...]

Though we often feel like we don’t use them enough, we really enjoy animated gifs and appreciate their artistry a great deal. We may start to do it a lot more now that Urlesque has curated a top-notch listicle of 8 Animated Gif Blogs, which is a fairly invaluable resource given how many crappy animated [...]

You might not know this about us, but we have a rather serious (and expensive) doughnut addiction, which becomes especially pronounced on lazy weekend mornings when all we want for breakfast is a warm, drippy-sweet ring of dough. No matter how intense our love of doughnuts, we’re still not sure we’re ready for any of [...]

Obviously, making fun of the nuttier things people post on Craigslist is almost too easy, since these poor anonymous posters really have no way to defend themselves. On the other hand, it’s a free site and you’re asking for it when you post the kind of insane stuff featured in the Huffington Post’s hilarious listicle [...]

It’s easy to forget, in these days of handheld devices and interactive, hyper-dynamic web design, that websites were pretty much hideously ugly 10 years ago. Or maybe our aesthetic standards have changed and they actually seemed acceptable at the time. Either way, perusing the Telegraph’s listicle of How 20 Popular Sites Looked When They Launched [...]

We recently passed along some pictures of dogs who were maxing and relaxing in truly chill style. Little did we know we would be revisiting the subject so soon with Urlesque’s listicle of 6 Videos of Dogs on Swings. These are some really relaxed dogs, and watching them swing back and forth is oddly calming, [...]

In principle we disapprove of eating domestic animals. In fact, until our confused cow Chester died when we were eight, we refused to eat beef. Dogs, horses and turtles, meanwhile, are still very much off-limits. However, on occasion we come across an adorable little cutie who’s so sweet  we just want to eat her or [...]

If there’s a genre of music that’s more obsessed with covering Top 40 hits than reggae, it’s got to be Mariachi band music. Similarly, the chronic cover impulse has a lot to do with the need to produce cross-overs lest artists be ghettoized in the “world music” category. This, in turn, produces some amazing moments [...]

Call us strange (no really, please do), but if we had a weird, obscure and fairly embarrassing phobia of something (and we’re not saying we don’t), the last thing we’d do is ask a daytime talk show to cure us. Apparently, we’re more or less alone in that camp, as you’ll observe if you watch [...]

5. Ben has appendicitis, or as I like to call it, a real man’s tummyache.
4. Urlesque posted a list of Flickr’s Most Unsightly Sunburn Photos and Ben was so ashamed he didn’t think of it first, he developed appendicitis.
3. Bastille Day.
2. Ben got so excited about Bastille Day, he developed appendicitis.
1. There are no more listicles. The end. No more [...]
