full of win & awesome

I do a lot of ranting on here, so it's time for some things to make you (okay, me) laugh. Here's a collection of links I find hilarious.

I am inspired by this super-awesome post by Mediaite.com comparing the media world to the world of Harry Potter, which I saw today and is just too funny: http://www.mediaite.com/online/media-muggles-harry-potter/

Cracked.com has some similarly hilarious articles. These are a couple of recent favorites. (If you're offended by crude language - well, you probably wouldn't be reading this site, but you definitely should not read Cracked. Or, well, any of my other recommendations, except the Mediaite article, which is family-friendly.)

6 Animals That Can Get You High: http://www.cracked.com/article/81_6-animals-that-can-get-you-high/

One of my favorite posts of all time - 7 Classic Star Wars Characters Who Totally Dropped the Ball: http://www.cracked.com/article_17546_7-classic-star-wars-characters-who-totally-dropped-ball.html (Sheer genius.)

And possibly one of the funniest things I have ever seen, the literal video version of 'Total Eclipse of the Heart': http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lj-x9ygQEGA&feature=PlayList&p=A095CDB461A1FEED&index=29

Okay, enough with the post links, on to my favorite smartass websites.

Texts from Last Night http://www.textsfromlastnight.com/ Occasionally scary, more often hysterically funny. Makes you glad college is over more often than it makes you nostalgic for the good old days.

STFU Parents http://stfuparents.tumblr.com/ Taking toilet humor to a whole new level. Makes me feel extremely lucky that my friends with babies have way, way better taste and self-editing skills than the people featured on this site.

Awkward Family Photos http://www.awkwardfamilyphotos.com/ Look on the right-hand side for most popular posts & read the Thanksgiving letter - you will cry with laughter, I promise.

Passive-Aggressive Notes http://www.passiveaggressivenotes.com/ People are amazing. Truly. Not always in a good way.

There, I Fixed It. http://thereifixedit.com/ See PAN comment, above.

Stuff White People Like http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.com/ It's funny, and true.

I Can Has Cheezburger http://icanhascheezburger.com/ Because cats are endlessly entertaining.... probably due to taking themselves so very seriously.

Cakewrecks http://www.cakewrecks.com/ Needs no explanation.

And last, but most definitely not least...

It's My World, Ur Just A Squirrel http://www.thesabs.com/ Written by one of my favorite tweeps, @SnarkySabs, she culls the interwebs for bizarre news articles and adds her own fabulously acerbic take on them.
