By web gangsta | Published:

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?

Facebook and other social media can make you sick


By web gangsta | Published:

How often do you check your Twitter feeds or Facebook account?

Do you check it once a day?  A few times a week?  Once or twice a month?

Or are you one of those people ADDICTED TO SOCIAL MEDIA to the point where your phone is in constant danger of running out of battery because you’re continually online and checking in with everyone you’ve ever known?

Celebrate Diaper Free Week by Going Diaper Free!


By web gangsta | Published:

Web Watch has talked about ELIMINATION COMMUNICATION earlier, a method used by parents to encourage their infants to equate specific sounds with going to the potty.

Pavlovian, you say?  Perhaps.  But parents who practice EC swear by it, and it saves them hundreds of dollars a year in disposable diaper costs.

Beer Pong can Kill You


By web gangsta | Published:

As Web Watch told you earlier, BEER PONG is the MOST POPULAR DRINKING GAME around.

The premise is simple: throw a ball into a cup, make your opponent drink.  Web Watch has even been to the WORLD SERIES OF BEER PONG out in Las Vegas, and we’ll be the first to tell you that THAT event is a party and a half, even if the entry fee (including room, which cuts down on driving liability issues) starts at $500 per person.

Why ICE (“In Case of Emergency”) is Worthless


By web gangsta | Published:

If you’re like Web Watch, then you too have likely received the parental email thread – typically forwarded from friend after friend, Facebook after Facebook post – that encourages everyone to enter an I.C.E. entry on your cellphone.

You know, IN CASE OF EMERGENCY.

That ICE entry would contain the name, phone number, and other immediately important information about the person/people that emergency responders should contact for you when an emergency or crisis occurs.  Web Watch even knows someone who has a complete ICE binder sitting smack on top of their refrigerator, with the names, addresses, and phone numbers of their entire family tree.  This makes sense, of course – as everyone knows that the kitchen is the 2nd most dangerous place in the house… after the bathroom.

And who would want to keep an ICE binder in the bathroom?

If you want to lose weight, don’t chew gum


By web gangsta | Published:

Losing weight is a constant battle for some.  And as Web Watch has told you previously, it really all comes down to taking in fewer calories than you burn up in a day.  Sure, there are other influences involved, such as the family gene pool or other non-controllable items — but for the vast majority of us, weight loss really is about reducing our food intake in a smart manner.

Closing the barn door causes 1/5 of all injuries


By web gangsta | Published:

Women will never understand the shrieks of pain that men felt while watching the FRANK AND BEANS, BEANS AND FRANKS scene in THERE’S SOMETHING ABOUT MARY.

For Ben Stiller, having to act as if his junk was caught in his zipper was probably just 10% acting, and 90% muscle memory from the last time it actually happened to him.

It’s the latest trend in preschool: the group potty party!


By web gangsta | Published:

Web Watch was chatting with one of our friends the other day about troubles he was having with his 2-year-old in daycare.

And it wasn’t so much that the 2-year-old was causing trouble or that the daycare the child was in wasn’t doing their job — it was more an issue with one specific activity that this particular daycare thought was an important part of a young child’s education.

Pubic hair mishaps on the rise. (Gives new meaning to Wax on, Wax off)


By web gangsta | Published:

Maybe you’ve been one of the lucky ones thus far.  You’ve never nicked yourself… down there… with a razor.

Yet.

But that all could be about to change, if a recent trend of specific emergency room visits is any indication.

Take your pick: Celebrity Net Worth, Bra Size, or Plastic Surgery?


By web gangsta | Published:

SometimesWeb Watchruns across websites that just don’t know what they’re supposed to be.

Think of it as website schizophrenia.

This is one of those sites.

Video Fun: Fresh Balls


By web gangsta | Published:

Guys – have you ever felt, you know, “not so fresh”… down there?

Seriously, Web Watch couldn’t believe the conversation that a buddy of ours was telling about a friend of his who uses a POWDER-FILLED SOCK to apply GOLD BOND MEDICATED POWDER to, well, just about everything (if you know what we mean).

Apparently this dude has a knotted up tube sock that he just swings around, flapping powder where he needs it most, in all those hard-to-get-at places.

We can only imagine the cloud of dust that lingers all over his bathroom floor.

Men: How to stop the dreaded “pee spot” from appearing


By web gangsta | Published:

While most any story about pee can be amusing, there are times when pee is not a laughing matter.

There are any number of reasons why adult men would suffer from occasional incontinence, or just can’t stop the post-pee drip from appearing on the outside of their khaki pants — and that usually happens immediately before an important business meeting where you have to stand in front of the company board and make a formal presentation.

And all you can think about is “are they looking at my pee stain”?

Want to avoid getting norovirus? Stop doing laundry


By web gangsta | Published:

If you’ve ever been sick while on vacation, you know what a horrible experience it can be.  Trust Web Watch on this, as we spent 2 miserable days holed up in our Disney hotel room on one vacation to the Happiest Place on Earth, unable to leave the relative comfort of the room for any length of time.

Yeah, it wasn’t pretty.

And if you’ve ever been sick while on a cruise ship where you don’t even have the luxury of finding a place to escape like you would have the opportunity to do if you were on land, then you can take the Web Watch Disney experience and multiply that by 100.
