DIY Wrist Watches, Christmas Curves, & Netflix’s Dwindling Movie Library

ONCE UPON A TIME:

(thank you)

LIFEHACK OF THE WEEK: With thanks to the gentlemen over at Valet, here’s a helpful guide to cleaning your Winter jackets.

UGH: A sad story manages to get much worse. This is just horrible.

DAMN NATURE! The. $%#!. Is. This? Or, if you prefer, BECAUSE, FLORIDA. True story. I live in a state which is the butt of all the jokes. All of them. So allow me this. Please. Just this once.

FOR THE LOVE OF THE GAME: I dare you not to smile. I double dog dare you.

CHRISTMASTIME IS HERE:

(thank you)

THIS IS WHY WE CAN’T HAVE NICE THINGS: We love them too much. Seems to me there was a similar avocado scare recently.

TIME TO PUT THOSE IDLE HANDS TO WORK! Eric H., our contributor of the year â„¢ has assembled a nifty DIY watch kit. Well, not himself, actually. But his interweb skillz are top notch and as a result, you can find watch parts over here and the tools you will need to put it all together over here. And because sometimes you want the most extravagant sleeping options ever, he brought this to our attention. 

THE MORE YOU KNOW: Because at some point you will appreciate the fact that you were on point.

MONKEY BALLS: No, for real. Sewed up right beside yours. Because once upon a time Quacks were true artists. Oh, and this article is totally about your junk. Just so you know.

O TANNENBAUM…

(mine)

‘MURICA! An opera in three parts. Overture: Grannies on Parade. The Aria: A Day in the Parking Lot. And the grand finale: Social Media 101.

WE KNOW NOTHING: Except for this: It would appear that there are sea bees.

SOMEWHERE…the ghost of PT Barnum is showing his respect. But wait! There’s a punchline. And also, there is this.

CONSEQUENCES: I’m just going to leave this right here. Then there’s this. There are no words.

HOW THINGS WORK: Just in case you ever want to make an unbelievable amount of money “disappear” this would be right up your alley.

SOON.

(thank you)

SOMETIMES I TOTALLY LOVE PEOPLE: This is one of those times.

ACCOUNTABILITY: Yikes.

WHEN ARE YOU GONNA BELIEVE ME? These things are going to take over the world. I’m serious you guys.

THIS IS RICH: The guy everybody loves to hate gets pwnd by a group of school kids.

SMOKIN’ SANTA:

(thank you)

THE STATE OF THE INTERNET: I could have added this to the CONSEQUENCES post but I think that I am more surprised by how much it has made me consider the trade-offs we make in the name of convenience and immediate gratification.

AND BOOM GOES THE DYNAMITE: This. Is. So rad.

SO BASICALLY…that whole two-month salary thing is now pretty much meaningless? Because these don’t seem so special. Not that I thought they were before. Because I didn’t. As if. I’m more of a Sapphire sort of guy.

APPLAUSE: This is all kinds of OK with me. A terrific gesture.

AH-HA! This is why I don’t spend much time on Netflix anymore. And so helpfully explained too. Now that’s corporate transparency.

INCOMING!

Tim Johnstone is Dappered’s music correspondent as well as our resident gatherer of all things interwebs related. He doesn’t really hate people. Mostly.
