12 People Who Did an Excellent Job of Quitting

Emerald Catron — Wed, 17 Apr 2013 20:16:11 +0000

We saw this amazing resignation cake and got inspired. Not to quit our jobs, but to admire the ways others have in the past. Our most "creative" quit was telling the owner of a Chinese buffet over the phone that they couldn't yell at us anymore, because we quit so there. Compared to these, that just isn't that impressive.

See the Cast of 'Family Matters' Then and Now

Jeremy Taylor — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 15:12:30 +0000

Originally a spin-off of ‘Perfect Strangers,’ ‘Family Matters’ told the tale of an extended family in Chicago, Illinois, and their meddlesome neighbor Steve Urkel. Thanks in large part to Urkel, whose nerdy clumsiness and catchphrases (“Did I do that??”) made him into pop cultural phenomenon, ‘Family Matters’ delivered solid ratings for ABC between 1989 and [...]

Some basketball players like Shaq and John Salley have shown their musical prowesses off the court, or even made a second career out of their vocal skills (or lack thereof).

One of the best parts about the holiday season is when Santa comes to town for a visit.

Cameron Simcik — Fri, 26 Oct 2012 19:41:17 +0000

Dressing up our furry friends means they're usually subject to embarrassment among other pups. However, we think it's the small price they pay for being so darn adorable. That being said, we've already made our Star-Wars-meets-puppies obsession pretty clear, what with the discovery of Ewok dogs and Princess Leia pugs. Could the fantasy flick and canine combo get any cuter?! Luckily for us, yes.

President Obama Photobombed by Adorable Smooching Kids

Emerald Catron — Thu, 25 Oct 2012 01:47:15 +0000

It takes a lot to upstage the President of the United States in a photograph, but these grade school kids have done it. We're not the only ones who think so. Even the president himself (or at least his Twitter account) labeled this the "picture of the day." We're pretty sure it's not because of the kid who's trying to eat his shirt. Or the way the president isn't looking at the camera either. Can you guess why?
