Killer Triceps, Gosling and Gladiator, & One Awful Necktie

TRICEP PULLS:

(thank you)

PERSPECTIVE. Vis a vis recent headlines, this sheds some light on why Brussels has come under attack by the Islamic State.

LIFEHACK OF THE WEEK: It’s not always about the smell test. Mostly.

UGH: It is so hard to hate people when you come across something like this. Or, also, this.

TRUE STORY: This is something people don’t really think about until they have to. This is really good to know if you are caring for an elder.

WATER HORSES:

(thank you)

AWKWARD: Your results may vary.

20 SECONDS ON THE THE CLOCK PLEASE: And go! How many ways can you list how this will go wrong.

I’M ASKING NICELY: Please don’t. You will just feel terrible about it after the fact. Trust me. Editor’s Note: Could they have at least IRONED the dress shirt for the model shots? Meanwhile, saw an overly tanned, teased hair, tons of make-up wearing gal at the gym the other day wearing these. They were blinking as bright as a strobe light. I thought I was having a neurological event.

ONCE UPON A TIME: 

(thank you)

I TOTALLY GET IT: I hate the mall too.

HEADS UP: If you’ve got yourself a Grandad on the hunt, best make sure he steers clear of this one. Nasty bit of business. Editor’s Note II: Never drink the elderberry wine.

NOT READY FOR PRIME TIME: From the sounds of things, the entire world will be focused on them at precisely the wrong time. As always, it is the people who suffer.

SIMULACRUM:

(thank you)

I HAD NO IDEA: This is a thing. I mean, it must be a thing since this is the second such Vine I’ve posted in the last few months. And you have to turn the sound up because, as a certified terrible person, it’s the horrified cries of alarm at the end that does it for me every time. Because I just let it loop.

CUE “YAKETY SAX”: Because this was pretty much made for that.

ON THE OTHER HAND…the only thing missing from this story, is one of these.

LIFE. EXPLAINED.

(thank you)

KFC WTF? Colonel Sanders’ back story is straight up cray. Also, this line right here: At age twelve he became squeamish at the sight of the alphabet leaking from English class into math class, and he dropped out of school, never to return. Solid reason.

CONTEXT: That moment when the whole 3D printing thing finally makes sense. Also, there might be contracts being taken out on this kid.

INTENDED CONSEQUENCES: Be careful what you ask for plan and implement.

INCOMING!

Seriously guys, I can’t wait for this one.
