When was the last time you went to the dentist?
Do you go once or twice a year? Or have you avoided going to the dentist unless it’s absolutely necessary to pay a visit to have a cavity filled or a root canal?

How many weddings do you expect to attend this year?
If you’re at the age where all your friends are getting married seemingly every other weekend all summer long, perhaps you should think again about saying “yes” to every RSVP that comes your way.
Putting on a wedding can be costly, as everyone knows. But attending a wedding has costs of its own.
A while back, Web Watch told you HOW MUCH IT COSTS TO BOOK THE DAN BAND, as seen in The Hangover. Or, if you really want to relive the entire HANGOVER movie trilogy, Web Watch mentioned how much it would cost you to BOOK ZACK GALIFIANAKIS or KEN JEONG.
But maybe, just maybe – you’re a bit more sophisticated than that.
Maybe you have $20,000 burning a hole in your pocket and you don’t know what to do with it.
Let’s play a game: “Race Horse or Song Title”?
It’s a fun game to play during TRIPLE CROWN season, where gamblers everywhere turn to the KENTUCKY DERBY, PREAKNESS, and BELMONT to crown the fastest horse in the land.
But while we all chuckle over the wacky names that horses are given, one does have to wonder where those names come from, right?

Attending college is one thing (especially if you choose to attend one of PLAYBOY’S TOP PARTY SCHOOLS).
But graduating college? That’s something else entirely (especially if you choose to participate significanly at one of PLAYBOY’S TOP PARTY SCHOOLS).

People are either “beer folks” or “wine folks”.
Web Watch has friends who absolutely refuse to have any wine whatsoever, preferring to only drink beer. Likewise, we know plenty of grape-heads who turn their noses up at beer.
Taste can be a funny thing, but we do agree that beer and wine flavors are completely different, so it’s understandable that there can be such a rift in opinions for favorite beverage.
So the other day, Web Watch was talking with our friends about BANDS WITH REGIONAL NAMES.
So we decided to come up with the ULTIMATE REGIONAL BAND NAME LIST.
Continue reading 20 GREATEST BANDS WITH REGIONAL OR GEOGRAPHICAL NAMES
Remember when Web Watch told you about the rise in bed bug infestations?
It ends up that things haven’t waned since we originally reported on that, and new reports show that BED BUGS ARE BECOMING MORE RAMPANT THAN EVER BEFORE.
“HATE” is such a strong word.
One can “HATE” blueberries, but what have blueberries ever done to you? You could “HATE” the color orange, because it makes you look all washed out.
But hating a person? That’s just harsh. Dislike, sure. Don’t have respect for? Sure. But can you really “HATE” someone?
It’s a well-worn comedic observation: women just take forever in the bathroom, getting ready.
Maybe that explains why we always see women driving down the highway in morning commuter traffic, still putting on their makeup with their hair in rollers, if only to save themselves an extra 10-15 minutes of sleep.
Why do their beauty regime at home in front of a mirror when you can do the same thing driving at 75 MPH while weaving in and out of traffic?

Web Watch, as we’ve declared previously, loves playing board games with friends.
There’s something about sitting around a table and taking part in a group activity – laughing, drinking – that you just can’t get from the anonymous (and cheat-filled) ways of playing knock-off word games with friends via cellphone.
Is SCRABBLE the best game choice for game night? Sometimes yes, sometimes not. It partly depends on how many people are playing, and whether they enjoy playing word games with you. If you’re the kind of person who TiVos the NATIONAL SPELLING BEE, then chances are you’re not the type of person that others will want to engage in a casual Scrabble game with.
Everybody likes to joke about how they’ll never eat at That Restaurant anymore, because that restaurant received a bad food health inspection score.
Web Watch fully subscribes to this theory, having rejected restaurant after restaurant that we used to enjoy, after they received less than 60 out of 100 possible points on inspection scores.
Look, we get it – the health inspector has a job to do to protect the public health. But remember, whenever you see a food score – keep in mind that it was likely negotiated UP a few points. In other words, the score of “80″ that you see pasted on the wall? Chances are it started out in the mid-60′s.
Yeech.
Web Watch learned this week that not everybody knows what the term SELFIE means.
As with many other Internet-related terms that kids use these days, SELFIE is just a shortened version of the real phrase, SELF-PORTRAIT.
That’s cray-cray, right? (because saying “cray cray” is so much easier and faster than saying “crazy”. Silly kids.)
So we’ve all seen those CELEBRITY SELFIE shots, usually leaked out on Twitter or TMZ. Some are good, some are reputation-ruining, and others are just so awful that you have to wonder what was going through the celeb’s mind – not when they took the picture, but when they thought it was good enough to release for the world to see.
Back in the day (and it’s always “back in the day” with these types of stories, isn’t it?), Web Watch would be known to partake in a drinking game or two amongst friends.
Why? Mainly because the games themselves were kinda fun. A bit stupid, perhaps, but always a fun challenge. Drinking was merely secondary to the activity, as one never needs a “game” of any sort to take a drink whenever one would like.
The key, of course, is to know when to say when and back out of the activity. Drinking too much because of some stupid game rule is never a good idea for anyone.

Hopefully, you’ve been on the Internet long enough for someone (likely, a parent) to have forwarded to you the following old meme about how tired you are from being overworked:
Yes, I’m tired.
For several years I’ve been blaming it on getting older, lack of sleep, weekend projects, stale office air, poor nutrition, carrying a couple of extra pounds, raising a family, recent ailments, and a dozen other reasons that make you wonder why life is getting tough.
But now I found out what’s really happening! I’m tired because I’m overworked.
The population of the USA reached 300 million last October.
79 million of the population are retired. That leaves 221 million to do the work.
There are 19 million toddlers and 76 million students in schools, which leaves 126 million to do the work.
Of that total, 21 million are unemployed leaving 105 million to do the work.
Then you take away 34 million in hospitals and that leaves 71 million to do the work.
43 million are in prisons and that’s 28 million left to do the work.
Now take away 14,683,468 federal, 5,344,722 state and 5,370,743 city workers who run our government and you’re left with 2,601,067 to do the work.
Take away the 2,601,065 people in the armed forces and that leaves just two people to do the work, you and me.
And you’re just sitting there reading this!
No wonder I’m tired!!!
