Crazy wine guy

Dear Jennifer,

I refuse to buy any wine without seeing this man defile it online first. This wine critic is either drunk when doing his reviews, or has absolutely no sense of shame. Wine never sounded better than when this man tells you the nose of one of the glasses "kicks you in the face." It is entertaining to watch him try to come up with 'quirks' for his online vid persona. My favorite is when he throws a bunch of corks at the camera and exclaims "Sometimes I love to throw corks!"

WINE LIBRARY TV

I love receiving mail.

Dear Meredith:

This is an awesome idea, if just a wee bit creepy. (While I do love receiving mail, i don't like receiving mail from people I don't know.) Lenka Clayton and Michael Crowe took it upon themselves to send a handwritten letter to everyone first in a village in Ireland, than in a neighborhood of Pittsburgh, PA. If you follow the link, you can see all the mail they sent.

Mysterious letters

These pets are not LOL-ing.

Dear Jennifer,

We love to laugh at the adorable pictures of animals on the web, but what if the animals are not laughing along with us? This website shows the inner turmoil of pets who have been forced into cute photos. Is it sick that it's even funnier when the pets are clearly unhappy?

PETS WHO WANT TO KILL THEMSELVES

I do like the Swedish meatballs too.

Dear Meredith:

I have to say, I do like Ikea, even though I am sick to death of those damn allen wrenches. In this nifty video, watch a Lack table get made.

Such style!

Dear Meredith:

There are way too many "blogs" based on reader-submitted pictures, but I have to say, I sort of enjoy this one.

My Parents Were Awesome

Meep meep!

Dear Meredith:

Okay, I thought that the Muppets doing "Bohemian Rhapsody" was pretty awesome, but it might be out-awesomed by Beaker performing "Ode to Joy."

The unfortunate thing is that this song gets terribly stuck in your head.

Dear Meredith:

The Muppets do "Bohemian Rhapsody". Words can't do it justice.

There isn't possibly enough time for all this procrastination, is there?

Dear Meredith:

Of course, our site isn't the only one that can help you procrastinate. Check out this list of other internet vices, and their quite humorous descriptions.

Inglourious Basterds indeed.

Dear Meredith:

This is nothing less than awesome. Watch Brad Pitt and Quentin Tarantino on a Japanese cooking show. Need anything more be said?

Pretty pretty letters.

Dear Meredith:

I'm a sucker for creative lettering - if I can't actually produce it, at least I can admire it, right?
