Now’s A Good Time To Hit Up Amazon For A New 2024 Calendar (Or Two)!

Hey guys! It’s October… the leaves are falling, the air is getting crisp, and we’re all getting ready to bid this year a (in some cases) fond adieu. You know what that means… it’s time to stock up on a new day-to-day calendar made by yours truly!

I have two very funny day-to-day desk calendars available for your consideration for 2024. “You Had One Job!” is a perennial favorite, featuring hundreds of work-related fails and general ineptitudes spotted by social media users from all over the world. “Animals Being Derps” is a collection of the world’s funniest animals at their goofiest, from dogs and cats to reptiles, rodents, wild animals, and more. All images are hand-selected and accompanied by witty captions written by me, Beverly L. Jenkins.

Check them out using the Amazon affiliate links below:

Watch How A Simple Smile Brings Classic Art Portraits To Life.

In classic portraiture, the artist’s subjects often pose stoically without smiling, resulting in a lot of very serious-looking characters looking down their long, aristocratic noses at museum-goers. In the clip below, someone spliced their own mouth over several unsmiling art portraits, then made a gif so the paintings burst into 3-D life, right before our very eyes.

It’s incredible to see how the lower half of the face transforms the eyes, bringing light, joy, humor, and other emotions to these painted faces. Check it out.

18 Memes That Perfectly Capture The Xanadu That Is Working From Home.

Work is never easy, and if given the chance, most of us would never do it. Since living a life of leisure sans responsibilities (or pants) is not feasible for most of us, we opt for the second best option: working from home.

Working remotely isn’t always a walk in the park, but it sure beats making small talk with the office cat lady who never stops talking for 8 hours a day. At home, we get to be the cat ladies, which is a huge improvement, and it’s a job we were born to do.

Merlin Is The Worst Coworker You’ll Ever Love.

Having worked in an office environment for more than half my life now (now that’s a sad fact!), I can personally attest that there’s always someone at work that rubs you the wrong way. Remote workers aren’t even exempt from this rule. After all, if you don’t think people can be annoying online, this must be your first day on the internet!

20 Pics Taken From Confusing Perspectives That Take A Minute To Figure Out.

Someone recently took a picture of me standing with three friends. When I looked at it later, I realized that the angle of the shot made it look like my friend’s arm was mine, so I was folding the whole group into a gigantic hug with my extra-long ape arms. We all laughed when we saw it, and it reminded me of all the funny shots on the “Confusing Perspective” subreddit.

This popular forum is filled with pictures that look a bit wonky due to a skewed perspective. This is THE spot to find funny pictures of my fellow Stretch Armstrongs!

I Double-Dog-Dare You Not To Smile.

As a lifelong animal lover, I have shared my home with a lot of pets over the years. I can say without hyperbole that getting a new puppy or kitten is one of the most exciting moments of a pet person’s life. Seeing that sweet face for the first time, holding a future best friend in your arms… it’s just the best.

The video below introduces us briefly to a wife who thought she was giving her husband the best surprise ever, only to find out that he was keeping an adorable secret of his own.

20 Memes That Will Make Introverts Say, “Yup, That’s Me.”

Introverts often get a bad rap. They get criticized for preferring to stay home, needing time time to recharge after social interactions, and generally just preferring their own company over other people’s. Honestly, can you blame them?

As someone who identifies as an “extroverted introvert,” I can relate to all of the “shy” people of the world! Being around others is exhausting, and there’s nothing wrong with keeping oneself to oneself. Here are some memes to drive that point home.

Little Girl Stumps Interviewer With Classic Dad Joke.

Any wholesome, good natured joke can be classified as a “dad joke,” no matter who’s telling it. Still, when a little girl zings a grown adult with a classic dad joke, it’s something to see!

In the video below, a child being interviewed turns the tables by asking, “What kind of bees make milk? The answer (and her ensuing giggles) are just plain adorable!

25 Reviewers Who Didn’t Bother Following The Recipe But Still Gave It 1-Star.

Online reviews can be very tricky. It can be helpful to read about other people’s experiences before buying something or making a recipe, but, just like the people who write them, reviews can also be unhelpful, unnecessarily cruel, or even downright dumb. One of the best subreddits to emerge in the past few years is about this very thing.

“I Didn’t Have Eggs” features low-rated recipe reviews from people who didn’t actually follow said recipes. They felt no compunction about leaving a nasty review even if they made bizarre substitutions, left out critical ingredients, or simply didn’t even make the dish. Why? Because they could!

21 Barbie Movie Memes That Make Today The Best Day Ever.

Summer 2023 was definitely the summer of Barbie! The “Barbie” movie rocked the box office left, right, and sideways, earning a billion dollars in its first 17 days in theaters. With director Greta Gerwig becoming the first woman to have a sole directing credit on a film of this magnitude, “Barbie” officially took a place in the history books.

The movie was a trip down Memory Lane for people (like me) who grew up playing with Barbie dolls. It was also prime meme-making material. Here are a few of the best.
